2.6.4 Deployment
Deployment is the process of applying a full or partial system configuration on a specific target device. In
OME-M, templates are the basis for all deployments. Templates contain the system configuration attributes
that get sent to the target server, then the iDRAC on the target device applies the attributes contained in the
template and reboots the server if necessary. Often, templates contain virtual identity attributes. As mentioned
above, identity attributes must have unique values on the network. Identity Pools facilitate the assignment and
management of unique virtual identities.
