Modifying Operational Template
About this task
Consider the following before modifying an Operational Template:
- The values of few attributes depend on the values of other attributes. When you change attribute values manually, ensure that you also change the interdependent attributes. If these interdependent values are not changed appropriately, and then applying the hardware configurations may fail. Hence, Dell EMC recommends that you do not edit these configurations that are captured in an Operational Template.
- The step to modify predefined Operational Templates and custom created Operational Templates are the same.
- (For SCCM users and servers only) When editing a task sequence on SCCM 2016, the missing objects references messages do not list the Setup windows and ConfigMgr package. Hence, you must add the package and then save the task sequence.
- (For SCVMM users and servers only) All the Storage Spaces Direct specific attributes are read-only attributes in the predefined Storage Spaces Direct template. However, you can edit the name of the template, operating system components, and hardware configurations.
Steps
Select the template that you want to modify and click Edit.
The Operational Template page is displayed.(Optional) Edit the name and description of the template, and then click Next.
To view the available attributes and their values in Device Components, click a component.
Modify the values of the available attributes.
NOTE: Select the check box against each component since only the selected component’s configurations are applied on the managed system, when the Operational Template is applied.NOTE: When editing Operational Template, few Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) component attributes that are read-only are listed as editable. However, when these read-only attributes are set and the Operational Template is deployed, there are no changes that are made to the device.- For MX7000 Modular Systems:
- Configurations are applied only if all the attributes for a group are selected. Hence, ensure that you select all the attributes in a group, even if you want to change one of the attributes in the group.
- To add a new user through an Operational Template, select all the attributes of existing users that were exported when capturing the Operational Template, select the recently added user groups, and save the Operational Template.
- To provide the time zone values, see Appendix.
- For MX7000 Modular Systems:
For the operating system component, perform either of the following tasks depending on your requirement:
For Windows operating system deployment on SCCM, see Windows component for the OMIMSSC console extension for SCCM.
For Windows operating system deployment on SCVMM, see Windows component for the OMIMSSC console extension for SCVMM.
- OMIMSSC
For non-Windows operating system deployment, see Non-Windows component for the OMIMSSC console extensions.
