Chassis profiles

Chassis profiles are generated automatically when a chassis pattern is deployed. One profile is created for each target chassis. Each chassis profile represents the specific configuration of a single chassis and contains system-unique information (for example, assigned IP addresses).

Chassis profile management

When a pattern is deployed, an individual chassis profile is generated for each target chassis. You can edit a pattern and save changes, and any dependent chassis profiles are automatically updated and redeployed to their associated chassis. You can move an existing profile from one chassis to another by unassigning the profile, and then redeploying the profile to another chassis.

Important: Chassis retain their identification information (for example, hostname, IP address) when a profile is unassigned. To avoid name and address conflicts, any identification information on the original chassis should be cleared before the unassigned profile is deployed to a different chassis.

To ensure that your configuration patterns are not lost if the management node fails, back up the management software after you create or modify configuration patterns.
