Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise Version 3.5 User's Guide

Device deployment template in OpenManage Enterprise allows you to set the configuration properties such as BIOS, boot, network properties, and so on of servers and chassis. The deployment template is a consolidation of system configuration settings referred to as attributes. The deployment template allows for multiple servers or chassis to be configured quickly and automatically without the risk of human error. Thus, templates enable you to optimize data center resources and reduce the cycle time in creating clones and deployments. Templates also enhance your business-critical operations in converged infrastructure that uses software-defined infrastructures.

You can either use the predefined deployment templates or import the deployment templates from a reference device or an existing template file. To view the list of existing templates, from the OpenManage Enterprise menu, click Configuration > Templates.
