Managing device deployment templates
Create, deploy, and manage device deployment templates to configure configuration properties on servers and chassis.
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.
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 .
NOTE:
- For successful template deployment, ensure that the source and target devices have the same hardware and configuration. Any mismatch in configuration may lead to deployment failures. If any hardware changes occur on the source device, delete the template and recreate it.
- If target iDRACs are running firmware version 4.40.10.00 and above, the appliance uses Redfish for template related tasks. If Redfish fails, the task is re-tried using WSMAN. The appliance uses WSMAN to initiate template related tasks on iDRACs running versions earlier than 4.40.10.00.
To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise, you must have necessary role-based user privileges and scope-based operational access to the devices. Role and scope-based access.
A device manager can view and perform tasks on default templates and custom templates they own.
