Applying Profile

When stored profiles are available in the non-volatile media on the CMC, to initiate a server cloning operation, you can
apply a stored profile to one or more servers.
The operation status, slot number, slot name, and model name is displayed for each server in the Apply Profile table.
NOTE: If a server does not support Lifecycle Controller or the chassis is turned off, you cannot apply a profile to the
server.
To apply a profile to one or more servers:
1. In the left pane, click Chassis Overview → Server Overview → Setup → Profiles.
2. On the BIOS Profiles page, in the Apply Profile section, from the Select a Profile drop-down menu, select the profile
that you want to apply.

Viewing BIOS Settings

To view BIOS settings for a selected server, in the BIOS Profiles page, in the Apply Profile section, click View in the
BIOS settings column. The View Settings page is displayed.
Only BIOS settings on the server which may be modified by applying a profile (cloneable settings) are displayed. The
settings are partitioned into groups in the same way they are displayed on the iDRAC BIOS Setup page.
NOTE: The CMC Server Cloning application retrieves and displays the correct BIOS and Boot settings for a specific
server, only if the Control System Inventory on Restart (CSIOR) option is enabled.
To enable CSIOR on:
• 12th generation servers — After restarting the server, press F2, select iDRAC Settings → Lifecycle Controller,
enable CSIOR and save the changes.

Viewing Profile Log

To view the profile log, in the BIOS Profiles page, see the Recent Profile Log section that lists the 10 latest profile log
entries directly from server cloning operations. Each recent profile log displays the severity, the time and date when
server cloning operation was submitted, and the description of the cloning log message. The log entries are also
available in the RAC log. To view the other available entries, click Go to Profile Log. The Profile Log page is displayed.
