Built-in deployment templates cannot be edited. Only the user-created deployment templates that are identified as ‘Custom’ can be edited. You can edit the attributes of a deployment template irrespective of whether you created it by using a reference template file or a reference device.
On the
Configuration > Templates page, select the required custom template check box, and then click
Edit.
In the
Edit Template dialog box:
In the
Template Information section, edit the deployment template name and description. The template type cannot be edited.
Click
Next.
In the
Edit Components section, the deployment template attributes are displayed in:
The
Guided view — This view of attributes displays only common attributes, grouped together by function. Attributes from the following categories are shown:
In the
BIOS Settings section, select any one of the following:
Manually: Enables you to manually define the following BIOS properties:
System profile: From the drop-down menu, select to specify the type of performance optimization to be achieved in the system profile.
User accessible USB ports: From the drop-down menu, select to specify the ports that the user can access.
By default, the use of logical processor and in-band manageability are enabled.
Optimize based on workload: From the Select workload profile drop-down menu, select to specify the type of workload performance optimization you want achieve on the profile.
Click
Boot and define the boot mode:
If you select BIOS as the boot mode, do the following:
To retry the boot sequence, select the
Enabled check box.
Drag the items to set the boot sequence and hard drive sequence.
If you select UEFI as the boot mode, drag the items to set the UEFI boot sequence. If required, select the check box to enable the Secureboot feature.
Click
Networking. All the networks associated with the deployment template are displayed under
Network Interfaces.
To associate an optional identity pool to the deployment template, select from the
Identity pool drop-down menu. The networks associated with the selected identity pool is displayed. If the deployment template is edited in the Advanced view, the Identity pool selection is disabled for this deployment template.
To view the network properties, expand the network.
To edit the properties, click the corresponding pen symbol.
Select the protocol to be used for booting. Select only if the protocol is supported by your network.
Select the Untagged and Tagged network to be associated to the network
The partition, max, and min bandwidth are displayed from the deployment template (profile) we created earlier.
Click
Finish. The network settings of the deployment template is saved.
The
Advanced view — This view lists all the deployment template attributes that can be changed (including those shown in the Guided view). This view allows you to specify not only attribute values (like the Guided view), but also whether or not each attribute gets included when the deployment template is deployed to a target device.
Attributes are grouped together functionally for display. Vendor-specific attributes are grouped under Other Attributes. Each individual attribute is displayed with a check box preceding its name. The check box indicates whether or not the attribute will be included when the deployment template is deployed to a target device. Because of attribute dependencies, if you change the setting for whether or not a particular attribute gets deployed, it could cause unexpected results on the target device, or cause deployment to fail. Each group also has a check box to the left of its name. The icon in group check boxes has one of three values:
Checked — Indicates that all of the attributes in the group are selected for deployment.
Hyphen — Indicates some (but not all) of the attributes are selected for deployment.
Clear — Indicates that none of the attributes in the group are selected for deployment
NOTE
Using this option requires care and a good knowledge of attributes and attribute dependencies as various attributes depend on the value in another attribute to determine their behavior.
You can click on the group icons to toggle the deployment setting for all the attributes in the group.
The attributes with secure information, such as passwords, are hidden and would appear as 'empty' when initially loaded and the changes to these secure attribute values are masked.
A deployment template’s associated Identity pool cannot be changed if a profile is already associated to it.
Click
Next.
In the
Summary section, the attributes you edited by using the Guided and Advanced mode are displayed.
This section is read-only. Read through the settings and click
Finish.
The updated template attributes are saved to the deployment template.
