Configuring BIOS Settings Using Server Clone

The server cloning feature allows you to apply all BIOS settings from a specified server to one or more servers. BIOS
settings that can be cloned are those BIOS settings, which can be modified and are intended to be replicated across
servers.
The server cloning feature supports iDRAC6 and iDRAC7 Servers. Earlier generation RAC servers are listed, but are
greyed out on the main page, and are not enabled to use this feature.
To use the server cloning feature:
• iDRAC must have the minimum version that is required. iDRAC6 servers require a minimum version of 3.2 and
iDRAC7 servers require version 1.00.00.
• Server must have supported generation of iDRAC.
• Server must be powered on.
The source and target servers need not belong to the same generation. Only the available cloneable settings are applied
from one server profile to other servers.
You can:
• Copy the BIOS settings of one server to another.
• Save a profile from a server.
• Apply a profile to other servers.
• View BIOS settings from a server or from a saved profile.
• Display the log activity for recent BIOS profile tasks.
