The OME 2.1 release includes a new feature set for Stateless computing with centralized management of server virtual I/O addresses within OME. Server Configuration Management Simplify server provisioning through profile-based deployments Enable elasticity of compute resources through definition of a stateless computing pool in a Boot-from-SAN environment Enable simplified server migration for disaster recovery operations. One of a set of four videos that covers the Stateless Computing feature setup: OME Stateless - Replace Server OME Stateless - Create Compute Pool OME Stateless - Create Template OME Stateless - Create Virtual Pool. Closed captions available in many languages.
In this video, we will demonstrate how to create a server configuration template From a reference server. A reference server is a server that is configured in a desired way to be replicated on other bare metal servers. To begin, click Create Template. Type the template name And select the reference server.
Next, type the credentials that have Admin privileges On the iDRAC of the reference server, and click Finish. Click OK. Now click Deployment Portal. You can see the template creation status in Task Execution History. The template creation may take about 2 to 5 minutes, After which, you can see the template you created under Server Templates In the Templates area.
We have now created a server configuration template, A necessary step in deploying bare metal devices, Or detecting configuration drift using OpenManage essentials. For more information about OpenManage Essentials, visit Dell.com/OME or delltechcenter.com/OME.
