4. Expand the Attribute Group. If the value of the attribute is Pool Value, the attribute is identified to be system specific
attribute. For information on attribute group and component for all system specific attributes see, table 13 in System specific
attributes in Operational Template section.
5. If you do not want to apply these system specific attributes, identify these attributes (mentioned in step 4) and unselect
them while editing Operational Template.
6. Input to these system specific attributes can be given for multiple servers through a .CSV file using Export Pool Attributes
while deploying Operational Template, see Deploying Operational Template on servers.
NOTE: For more information on populating Pool value CSV file, see Populating Pool value CSV file and System specific
attributes in Operational Template.
Recommendation:When you are creating an Operational Template, if you select and clear a dependent attribute’s check
box which has a pool value, you will not be able to save the Operational Template and the following error message is
displayed: Select at least one attribute, under the selected components, before creating the
Operational Template Hence, select a dependent attribute which has a pool value or the same dependent attribute and
save the Operational Template. Then create a new Operational Template.
Assign Operational Template and Run Operational
Template Compliance for servers
Assign an Operational Template to a server, and run the Operational Template compliance. Only after assigning an Operational
Template to a server, you can view its Operational Template compliance status. You can compare a server’s configuration with
an Operational Template by assigning the template to a server. Once you assign an Operational Template, the compliance job
runs and the Operational Template status is displayed on completion.
To assign an Operational Template, perform the following steps:
1. In OMIMSSC click Configuration and Deployment, and then click Server View. Select the required servers and click
Assign Operational Template and Run Compliance.
The Assign Operational Template and Run Compliance page is displayed.
2. Select the required servers and click Assign Operational Template and Run Compliance.
3. Select the template from Operational Template drop-down menu, enter a job name, and then click Assign.
The Operational Template drop-down lists templates, of the same type as that of the devices selected in the previous step.
If the device is compliant to the template, and then a green color box with a check mark is displayed.
If the Operational Template is not applied successfully on the device or the hardware component in Operational Template is
not selected, and then an information symbol box is displayed.
If the device is noncompliant to the template, and then a warning symbol box is displayed. Only if the device is noncompliant
to assigned Operational Template, you can view a summary report by clicking the template name link. The Operational
Template Compliance-Summary Report page displays a summary report of the differences between the template and
device.
To view a detailed report, perform the following steps:
a. Click View Detailed Compliance. Here, the components with attribute values different from those of the assigned
template are displayed. The colors indicate the different states of Operational Template compliance.
● Yellow color warning symbol—non-compliance. represents that the configuration of the device does not match with
the template values.
● Red color box—represents that the component is not present on the device.
Assign Operational Template for Modular Systems
Assign an Operational Template to a Modular System and run the Operational Template compliance. This operation compares
the configuration of a Modular System and an Operational Template by assigning the selected template to a Modular System.
After you assign an Operational Template, the compliance job runs and the compliance status is displayed on completion.
To assign an Operational Template for Modular Systems, perform the following steps:
1. In OMIMSSC click Configuration and Deployment, and click Modular Systems View. Select the required Modular System
and click Assign Operational Template .
