Bay
Server deployment rules
From the Bay property page, you can select rules to govern actions taken when a new
blade server is detected in a selected bay. These rules are described below:
View and edit user-specific properties such as contact name, phone
number, e-mail address, department, mail stop, and site name. As the
administrator, you can enter this information manually or you can let the
user populate this screen using the
Prompt User for Properties
option.
See
Prompt user for properties
on page 132.
View location information and other properties for Rack /
Enclosure / Bay components for high-density and blade servers.
Set rules for automatic re-deployment of blade servers based on
physical location changes. This property is available only to
systems using blade servers.
Rule
Action
Re-Deploy
Computer
Restore a blade server using deployment tasks and configuration
settings saved from the previous server blade in the bay. This lets
you replace new blades in the bay and automatically run
deployment tasks from its deployment history. (See
Restoring a
computer from its deployment history
on page 124.)
All deployment tasks in the bay's history are run starting from the
last Distributing a Disk Image task or Scripted OS Install task, or
from any script (in a Run Script task) with this command: rem
deployment start. See
Distributing a disk image
on page 162,
Scripted OS install
on page 168, and
Running a script
on
page 184.
Run
Predefined Job
The server processes any specified job. Select a job to run
automatically when a new server is detected in the bay.
Ignore the
Change
This option lets you move blades to different bays without
automatically running jobs. The server blade placed in the bay is
not identified as a new server and no jobs are initiated. If the
server existed in a previous bay, the history and parameters for
the server are moved or associated with the new bay. If the server
blade is a new server (never before identified), the established
process for managing new computers is executed.
