Reapply a server profile

You can reapply a server profile to resolve errors or to ensure that the server hardware configuration matches the server profile. To reduce the time required to reapply a profile, individual components can be omitted from the reapply operation by clearing those components from the selection list.

Prerequisites

  • Privileges: Infrastructure administrator, Server administrator, or Server firmware operator.

  • If required, power off the server hardware depending on the components being reapplied.

Procedure
  1. From the main menu, select SERVERS > Server Profiles.
  2. In the master pane, select the server profile you want to reapply.
  3. Select Actions > Reapply.
  4. You are presented with the reapply dialog that has all the managed profile components preselected. Clear components as required to reduce the profile reapply time. Depending on the profile, one or more component selections are cleared and disabled, by default, because the respective component is not managed by the profile.
    NOTE:

    • If a hardware component is replaced or if the firmware on the component is inconsistent with the firmware baseline, use the Firmware option to reapply the firmware.

  5. Click OK to reapply the profile.
