Dell Chassis Management Controller Version 6.0 for PowerEdge M1000e User’s Guide

Adding or Saving Profile

Before copying the properties of a server, first capture the properties to a stored profile. Create a stored profile and provide a name and optional description for each profile. You can save a maximum of 16 stored profiles on the CMC nonvolatile extended storage media.

NOTE If a remote share is available, you can store a maximum of 100 profiles using the CMC extended storage and remote share. For more information see Configuring Network Share Using CMC Web Interface.

Removing or disabling the nonvolatile extended storage media prevents access to stored profile and disables the Server Configuration feature.

To add or save a profile:

  1. Go to the Server Profiles page. In the Server Profiles section, select the server from whose settings you want to generate the profile, and then click Save Profile.
    The Save Profile section is displayed.
  2. Select Extended Storage or Network Share as the location to save the profile.
    NOTE The Network Share option is enabled and the details are displayed in the Stored Profiles section only if the network share is mounted and is accessible. If the Network Share is not connected, configure the Network Share for the chassis. To configure the Network Share, click Edit in the Stored Profiles section. For more information see Configuring Network Share Using CMC Web Interface.
  3. In the Profile Name and Description fields, enter the profile name and description (optional), and click Save Profile.
    NOTE When saving a Server Profile, the standard ASCII extended character set is supported. However, the following special characters are not supported:

    ), “, ., *, >, <, \, /, :, |, #, ?, and ,

    CMC communicates with the Lifecycle Controller to get the available server profile settings and store them as a named profile.
    A progress indicator indicates that the Save operation is in progress. After the action is complete, a message, "Operation Successful" is displayed.
    NOTE The process to gather the settings runs in the background. Hence, it may take some time before the new profile is displayed. If the new profile is not displayed, check the profile log for errors.
