Configuring Server Autoconfiguration Policies
Server Autoconfiguration Policy
Cisco UCS Manager uses this policy to determine how to configure a new server. If you create a server
autoconfiguration policy, the following occurs when a new server starts:
1
The qualification in the server autoconfiguration policy is executed against the server.
2
If the server meets the required qualifications, the server is associated with a service profile created from
the service profile template configured in the server autoconfiguration policy. The name of that service
profile is based on the name given to the server by Cisco UCS Manager.
3
The service profile is assigned to the organization configured in the server autoconfiguration policy.
