Applying Boot Identity Profiles

You can apply boot identity profile settings if the boot identity profiles are available as stored profiles on the network share. To initiate a boot identity configuration operation, you can apply a stored profile to a single server.
  • NOTE: If a server does not support Lifecycle Controller or the chassis is powered off, you cannot apply a profile to the server.

To apply a profile to a server, perform the following tasks:

  1. Go to the Server Profiles page. In the Boot Identity profiles section, select the server on which you want to apply the selected profile. The Select Profile drop-down menu gets enabled.
    • NOTE: The Select Profile drop-down menu displays all available profiles that are sorted by type from the network share.
  2. From the Select Profile drop-down menu, select the profile that you want to apply. The Apply Identity option is enabled.
  3. Click Apply Identity. A warning message is displayed that applying a new identity overwrites the current settings and also reboots the selected server. You are prompted to confirm if you want to continue the operation.
    • NOTE: To perform server configuration replication operations on the server, the CSIOR option must be enabled for the servers. If CSIOR option is disabled, a warning message is displayed that CSIOR is not enabled for the server. To complete the server configuration replication operation, enable the CSIOR option on the server .
  4. Click OK to apply the boot identity profile to the selected server. The selected profile is applied to the server and the server is rebooted immediately. For more information, see the CMC Online Help.
