Configuring profile settings using server configuration replication

The server configurations replicating feature allows you to apply all profile settings from a specified server to one or more servers. Profile settings that can be replicated are those profile settings which can be modified and are intended to be replicated across servers. The following three profile groups for servers are displayed and can be replicated:
  • BIOS — This group includes only the BIOS settings of a server.
  • BIOS and Boot — This group includes the BIOS and the Boot settings of a server.
  • All Settings — This version includes all the settings of the server and components on that server. These profiles are generated from:
    • 12th generation servers with iDRAC7 1.57.57 or later and Lifecycle Controller 2 version 1.1 or later
    • 13th generation servers with iDRAC8 2.05.05 with Lifecycle Controller 2.00.00.00 or later.

The server cloning feature supports iDRAC7 and iDRAC8 Servers. Earlier generation RAC servers are listed, but are greyed out on the main page, and are not enabled to use this feature.

To use the server configurations replication feature:
  • iDRAC must have the minimum version that is required. iDRAC7 servers require version 1.57.57. iDRAC8 servers require version 2.05.05.
  • Server must be turned on.
You can:
  • View profile settings on a server or from a saved profile.
  • Save a profile from a server.
  • Apply a profile to other servers.
  • Import stored profiles from a management station or remote file share.
  • Edit the profile name and description.
  • Export stored profiles to a management station or remote file share.
  • Delete stored profiles.
  • Deploy selected profiles to the target devices using Quick Deploy option.
  • Display the log activity for recent server profile tasks.
