NOTE: The process to gather the settings runs in the background. Hence, it may take some
time before the new profile is displayed. If the new profile is not displayed, check the profile log
for errors.
Applying Profile
Server configuration replication is possible only when server profiles are available as stored profiles in the
nonvolatile media on the CMC or stored on the remote share. To initiate a server configuration
replication operation, you can apply a stored profile to one or more servers.
NOTE: If a server does not support Dell Lifecycle Controller or the chassis is turned off, you cannot
apply a profile to the server.
To apply a profile to one or more server(s):
1. Go to the Server Profiles page. In the Save and Apply Profiles section, select the server or servers for
which you want to apply the selected profile.
The Select Profile drop-down menu is enabled.
NOTE: The Select Profile drop-down menu displays all available profiles and sorted by type,
including those that are on the remote share and SD card.
2. From the Select Profile drop-down menu, select the profile that you want to apply.
The Apply Profile option is enabled.
3. Click Apply Profile.
A message is displayed that applying a new server profile overwrites the current settings and also
restarts the selected servers. You are prompted to confirm if you want to continue the operation.
NOTE: To perform server cloning operations on servers, the CSIOR option must be enabled for
the servers. If CSIOR option is disabled, a warning message is displayed that CSIOR is not
enabled for the servers. To complete the blade cloning operation, make sure to enable CSIOR
option on the servers.
4. Click OK to apply the profile to the selected server.
The selected profile is applied to the server(s) and the server(s) may be restarted immediately, if
necessary. For more information, see the CMC Online Help.
