Dell PowerFlex 4.5.x Administration Guide

Clone a template

1. On the menu bar, click Templates.
2. Open a template, and then click More Actions > Clone in the right pane.

   You can also click Clone on the My Templates page if you want to clone one of your own templates, rather than one of the sample templates.

3. In the Clone Template dialog box, enter a template name in the Template Name box.
4. Select a template category from the Template Category list. To create a template category, select Create New Category.
5. In the Template Description box, enter a description for the template.
6. To specify the version to use for compliance, select the version from the Firmware and Software Compliance list or choose Use PowerFlex Manager appliance default catalog.

   You cannot select a minimal compliance version for a template, since it only includes server firmware updates. The compliance version for a template must include the full set of compliance update capabilities. PowerFlex Manager does not show any minimal compliance versions in the Firmware and Software Compliance list.

7. Indicate Who should have access to the resource group deployed from this template by selecting one of the following options:
   • To restrict access to super users, select Only PowerFlex SuperUser.
   • To grant access to super users and some specific lifecycle administrators and drive replacers, select the PowerFlex SuperUser and specific LifecycleAdmin and DriveReplacer option, and perform the following steps:
     1. Click Add User(s) to add one or more LifecycleAdmin or DriveReplacer users to the list displayed.
     2. Select which users will have access to this resource group.
     3. To delete a user from the list, select the user and click Remove User(s).
     4. After adding the users, select or clear the check box next to the users to grant or block access.
   • To grant access to super users and all lifecycle administrators and drive replacers, select PowerFlex SuperUser and all LifecycleAdmin and DriveReplacer.
8. Click Next.
9. On the Additional Settings page, provide new values for the Network Settings, OS Settings, Cluster Settings, PowerFlex Gateway Settings, and Node Pool Settings.

   If you clone a template that has a Target CloudLink Center setting, the cloned template shows this setting in the Original Target CloudLink Center field. Change this setting by selecting a new target for the cloned template in the Select New Target CloudLink Center setting.

   When defining a template, you choose a single CloudLink Center as the target for the deployed resource group. If the CloudLink Center for the resource group shuts down, PowerFlex Manager loses communication with the CloudLink Center. If the CloudLink Center is part of a cluster, PowerFlex Manager moves to another CloudLink Center when you update the resource group details.

10. Click Finish.
