Configuring Profile Settings Using Server Configuration Replication

The server configurations replicating feature allows you to apply all profile settings from a specified server to one or more servers. Profile settings that can be replicated are those profile settings which can be modified and are intended to be replicated across servers. The following three profile groups for servers are displayed and can be replicated:

•BIOS — This group includes only the BIOS settings of a server. These profiles are generated from CMC for PowerEdge VRTX version 1.00 and later.

•BIOS and Boot — This group includes the BIOS and the Boot settings of a server. These profiles are generated from CMC for PowerEdge VRTX version 1.00 and later.

•All Settings — This version includes all the settings of the server and components on that server. These profiles are generated from

–CMC for PowerEdge VRTX version 1.00 and later

–12th generation servers with iDRAC7 1.00.00 or later and Lifecycle Controller 2 version 1.1 or later

–13th generation servers with iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller 2.00.00.00 or later

The server configurations replication feature supports iDRAC7 and later servers. Earlier generation RAC servers are listed but are grayed out on the main page, and are not enabled to use this feature.

To use the server configurations replication feature:

•iDRAC must have the minimum version that is required.

•Server must be powered on.

You can:

•View profile settings on a server or from a saved profile.

•Save a profile from a server.
