Create cluster profile

1. On the OMIVV home page, Compliance & Deployment > Profiles > Cluster Profile > CREATE NEW PROFILE.
2. On the Cluster Profile page of the wizard, read the instructions, and click GET STARTED.
3. On the Profile name and Description page, enter the profile name and description, and then click NEXT.
   Profile name can be up to 200 characters and description can be up to 400 characters.
4. On the Associate Profile (s) page, select any one of the following profiles, or its combinations:
   • System Profile—Selecting a system profile sets the configuration baseline for the servers in the cluster. For Basic and Advanced system profile types, the system profile name is displayed in the following format: Basic_<system profile name>, Advanced_<system profile name>
   • Firmware Repository Profile—Selecting a firmware repository creates the firmware or BIOS baseline for the servers in the cluster. Online repositories are not supported for baselining vSAN clusters.
   • Driver Repository Profile—Selecting a driver repository creates the driver baseline for the servers in the cluster. At a time, you can associate a maximum of 10 drivers to a baseline. Baselining of drivers is supported only on vSAN clusters.
5. Click NEXT.
   The Associate Cluster (s) page is displayed.
6. On the Associate Cluster (s) page, perform the following tasks:
   1. Select an instance of a registered vCenter server.
   2. To associate the clusters, click BROWSE.
      To select the cluster, ensure that you have at least one host that is associated to the cluster, which is successfully managed by OMIVV.
   3. Click OK.
      The selected clusters are displayed on the Associate Cluster(s) page.
   4. Click NEXT.
7. On the Schedule Drift Detection page, select the date and time, and then click NEXT.
   The Summary page is displayed that provides the information about the cluster profile.
8. Click FINISH.
   The drift detection job runs immediately after the cluster profile is saved and later runs during the scheduled time. View the job completion status on the Jobs page.

   NOTE If the number of nodes that are managed by OMIVV is modified after creating the cluster profile for a cluster, the collection size gets updated automatically during the subsequent drift detection jobs.
