Accessing Server Proles Page
You can add, manage, and apply server proles to one or more servers using the Server Proles page.
To access the Server Proles page using the CMC web interface, in the left pane, go to Chassis Overview → Server Overview.
Click Setup → Proles. The Server Proles page is displayed.
Adding or Saving Prole
Before copying the properties of a server, rst capture the properties to a stored prole. Create a stored prole and provide a name
and optional description for each prole. You can save a maximum of 16 Stored Proles on the CMC nonvolatile extended storage
media.
NOTE: If a remote share is available, you can store a maximum of 100 proles using the CMC extended storage and
remote share. For more information about the remote share, see
Conguring Network Share Using CMC Web Interface.
Removing or disabling the nonvolatile extended storage media prevents access to stored prole and disables the Server
Conguration Replication feature.
To add or save a prole:
1. Open the Server Proles page. In the Server Proles section, click Apply and Save Proles.
2. Select the server from whose settings you want to generate the prole, and then click Save Prole.
The Save Prole section is displayed.
3. Select Extended Storage or Network Share as the location to save the prole.
NOTE: The Network Share option is enabled and the details are displayed in the Stored Proles section only if the
network share is mounted and is accessible. If the Network Share is not connected, congure the Network Share for
the chassis. To congure the Network Share, click Edit in the Stored Proles section. For more information about
conguring the network share, see Conguring Network Share Using CMC Web Interface.
4. In the Prole Name and Description elds, type the prole name and description (optional), and then click Save Prole.
NOTE: When saving a Server Prole, the standard ASCII extended character set is supported. However, the
following special characters are not supported:
), “, ., *, >, <, \, /, :, |, #, ?, and ,
CMC communicates with the LC to get the available server prole settings and store them as a named prole.
A progress indicator indicates that the Save operation is in progress. After the action is complete, a message, "Operation
Successful" is displayed.
NOTE: The process to gather the settings runs in the background. Hence, it may take some time before the new
prole is displayed. If the new prole is not displayed, check the prole log for errors.
