Deploy IOA deployment templates

If they are supported, IOA templates can be deployed to any target device. If the target device is repurposed or bare-metal, configurations cannot be reverted.

Prerequisites

NOTE:To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise, you must have necessary role-based user privileges and scope-based operational access to the devices. See Role and scope-based access.
Before you begin deploying an IOA deployment template, ensure that:
  • You have created an IOA deployment template for deployment. See Create a deployment template from a reference device.
  • The target devices meet the requirements that are specified in Host system requirements.
  • The firmware version of the target device should be the same as the IOA deployment template.
  • Only alphanumeric, dash, underscore, and space are used as special characters in the Template Name. To edit the template name see Edit IOA deployment template.
  • Only the following cross-template deployments are supported:
    Table 1. Supported cross-template deploymentsThe following table lists the supported cross-template deployments.
    IOA Deployment template mode Supported IOA template modes of target
    Standalone Standalone, PMUX
    Programmable MUX (PMUX) PMUX, Standalone
    VLT VLT
  • After job submission, the console validates the service tag of the target system to ensure that the operation is performed on the correct system. If the verification fails, the job completes with errors, and the task execution history detail shows the following: 
    Running
Verifying if the device Service Tag is valid.
The device Service Tag could not be verified.
Task Failed With Errors.
Check the system to ensure that the IP address has not changed since the last discovery was completed. Remediate by discovering the system with the updated IP address, and retrying the operation.

About this task

CAUTION:Ensure that only the appropriate devices are selected for deployment. After deploying a deployment template on a repurpose and bare-metal device, it might not be possible to revert the device to its original configuration.

Steps

  1. On the Configuration > Templates screen, choose the IOA template to deploy, enable the corresponding checkbox, and click Deploy Template.
  2. In the Deploy Template: <template_name> dialog box, under Target:
    1. Click Select, and then select devices in the Job Target dialog box. See Selecting target devices and device groups.
    2. Click OK.
  3. In the Host Names dialog box, you can change the Host name of the target IOA device. Click Next.
  4. In the Advanced Options dialog box: select Preview Mode to simulate the deployment or select Continue On Warning to deploy the template and ignore the warnings that are encountered. Click Next.
    • Select Preview Mode to simulate the deployment.
    • Select Continue On Warning to deploy the template, and ignore the warnings that are encountered.
  5. In the Schedule section, run the job immediately or schedule for a later time. See Schedule job field definitions.
  6. Click Finish. Review the warning message and click YES.
    A Device Configuration job is created under Jobs. See Using jobs for device control.
