Applying a NIC or CNA profile on a collection

1. Click Browse and select the NIC/CNA profile that you created using the System Viewer utility. This profile is applied during the hardware configuration process. For more information on creating NIC/CNA profiles, see Creating a NIC or CNA profile.
2. If you select a simple NIC profile you can validate if all the settings in the profile are applied on the target system by launching the Unified Server Configurator on the target system.
3. If you select a Broadcom CNA profile, you can validate if the settings are applied based on the Table 4:

   Table 1. Broadcom profile settings

   S.No	Target Server Setting	Profile Settings	What is Applied
   1.	Dual Port NIC (partition disabled)	Dual Port NIC Dual Port Quad Partition NIC	Dual Port Quad Partition NIC Partition is enabled when the system reboots.
   2.	Dual Port NIC (partition disabled)	Dual Port NIC	Dual Port NIC Port level settings are applied when the system reboots.
   3.	Dual Port NIC (partition disabled)	Dual Port Quad Partition NIC	Dual Port Quad Partition NIC Partition is enabled when the system reboots.
   4.	Dual Port Quad Partition NIC	Dual Port NIC Dual Port Quad Partition NIC	Dual Port Quad Partition
   5.	Dual Port Quad Partition NIC	Dual Port NIC	Nothing is applied as there is no match between the target server setting and profile setting.
   6.	Dual Port Quad Partition NIC	Dual Port Quad Partition NIC	Dual Port Quad Partition

4. Click Next to apply an iDRAC profile.
   NOTE If there is an error while applying a NIC/CNA profile, the operating system deployment process continues to the next step. While applying an attribute using Config Utility, it does not check the dependent attributes value. After the hardware configuration task is complete, use Network Adapter Comparison Report in Config Utility to check if the attributes have been applied successfully.
