Importing Configuration from Reference Server

The Importing Configuration From Reference Server feature enables you to import an existing server configuration and set and use it for the new server component settings. You can edit the settings after importing the configuration.

To import a server configuration, perform the following steps:

  1. On the Server Component Settings page, click Import Configuration from Reference Server.
  2. After you click Import Configuration from Reference Server , the Select Reference Server window appears. Click Select on the window.
  3. List of available reference servers is displayed. Select the server which you want to import as reference server from the list.
  4. Click Select. ASM does not only import basic setting from reference server but also imports all the BIOS setting and advance RAID configuration from the reference server and allows you to edit the configuration.

    After you configure the settings and save it, you will be able to deploy a service with the configuration. All the BIOS setting and RAID setting will get applied to target server.

    • NOTE: ASM does not only import basic setting from reference server but also import all the BIOS setting and advance RAID configuration from the reference server and allow you to edit the configuration

    For some BIOS settings, they may become not applicable when other BIOS settings are applied. ASM does not correct these setting dependencies. When setting advanced BIOS settings use caution and verify BIOS settings on the hardware are applicable when not choosing "Not Applicable" as an option. For example, when disabling SD card the settings for "Internal SD Card Redundancy" becomes not applicable..
