Assigning Operational Template and running Operational Template compliance for servers

Assign an Operational Template to a server, and run the Operational Template compliance. Only after assigning an Operational Template to a server, you can view its Operational Template compliance status. You can compare a server’s configuration with an Operational Template by assigning the template to a server. Once you assign an Operational Template, the compliance job runs and the Operational Template status is displayed on completion.

1. In OMIMSSC click Configuration and Deployment, and then click Server View. Select the required servers and click Assign Operational Template and Run Compliance.
   The Assign Operational Template and Run Compliance page is displayed.
2. Select the template from Operational Template drop-down menu, enter a job name, and then click Assign.
   The Operational Template drop-down lists templates, of the same type as that of the devices selected in the previous step.

   If the device is compliant to the template, and then a green color box with a check mark is displayed.

   If the Operational Template is not applied successfully on the device or the hardware component in Operational Template is not selected, and then an information symbol box is displayed.

   If the device is noncompliant to the template, and then a warning symbol box is displayed. Only if the device is noncompliant to assigned Operational Template, you can view a summary report by clicking the template name link. The Operational Template Compliance-Summary Report page displays a summary report of the differences between the template and device.

   To view a detailed report, perform the following steps:

   1. Click View Detailed Compliance. Here, the components with attribute values different from those of the assigned template are displayed. The colors indicate the different states of Operational Template compliance.
      • Yellow color warning symbol—non-compliance. represents that the configuration of the device does not match with the template values.
      • Red color box—represents that the component is not present on the device.
