Deploy IOA deployment templates

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 control in OpenManage Enterprise.
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 Minimum system requirements for deploying OpenManage Enterprise.
  • Firmware version of the target device is the same as the 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
    PMUX (Programmable MUX) PMUX, Standalone
    VLT VLT
  • After submitting this job for execution the console will first try and verify the service tag of the intended target to ensure the operation is performed on the correct system. If the verification fails the job will complete with errors, and the task execution history detail will show the following: 
    Running
Verifying if the device Service Tag is valid.
The device Service Tag could not be verified.
Task Failed. Completed With Errors.
Please check the system to ensure 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. From the list of deployment templates on the Configuration > Templates page, select the check box corresponding to the IOA template you want to deploy, and click Deploy Template.
  2. In the Deploy Template: <template_name> dialog box, under Target:
    1. Click Select, and then select device(s) 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 encountered. Click Next.
  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.
