Manage Profiles

A 'Profile' is a specific instance of an existing deployment template that is customized with attributes unique to an individual device. Profiles can be created either implicitly during a template's deployment/auto-deployment or from the existing templates by the user. A Profile consists of target-specific attribute values along with the BootToISO choices, and iDRAC management IP details of the target device. It could also contain any network bandwidth and VLAN allocations for server NIC ports as applicable. Profiles are linked to the source template from which they are created.

The following details of the listed profiles are displayed on the Configuration > Profiles page:

Table 1. Manage Profiles - Field definitionsField names and description on the Profiles page.
Field Name Description
Modified A 'modified' symbol Warning is displayed to notify any modification or change to the associated profile or template attributes after the initial assigning. If the modified profile is redeployed on the device, the symbol disappears.
Profile Name Name of the profile
Template Name Name of the linked source template
Target Service tag or IP Address of the device on which the profile is assigned. If the profile is not assigned to any device, then target is blank.
