Chassis Configuration Profiles
The Chassis
Configuration Profiles feature enables you to configure the chassis
with the chassis configuration profiles stored in the network share
or local management station, and also restore configuration of the
chassis.
To access the Chassis Configuration Profiles page in the CMC web interface, in the system tree, go to Chassis Overview and click . The Chassis Configuration Profiles page is displayed.
You can perform the following
tasks by using the Chassis Configuration Profiles feature:
Configure a chassis using chassis configuration profiles in local management station for initial configuration.
Save the current chassis configuration settings to an XML file on the network share or local management station.
Restore the chassis configuration.
Import chassis profiles (XML files) to the network share from a local management station.
Export chassis profiles (XML files) from the network share to a local management station.
Apply, edit, delete, or export a copy of the profiles stored on the network share.
