Setting Collect System Inventory on Restart (CSIOR) on a Clone Server
There are two methods for setting CSIOR: Locally on an individual host
using the Dell Lifecycle Controller United Server Configurator (USC) user
interface or remotely using a WS-Man script. For more information on
scripting this functionality, see the Dell Tech Center and the DCIM Lifecycle
Controller Management Profile.
To enable CSIOR locally on a reference server:
1
Power on the system, and during POST press <F10> to launch USC.
2
Select
Hardware Configuration - Part Replacement Configuration.
3
Enable the
Collect System Inventory on Restart
setting, and exit USC.
Create New Hardware Profile
To create a new hardware profile, an administrator enters reference server
hardware configuration information. There are two ways to build a hardware
profile:
• Select a reference server and select
Clone Reference Server Settings
to
extract all BIOS, BOOT, RAID, and iDRAC configuration settings on that
server at that instant and apply them to the target system. These settings
cannot be customized by the user.
• Select a reference server and select
Customize Settings from Reference
Server
to extract all BIOS, BOOT, RAID, and iDRAC configuration
settings on that server at that instant, and then customize them as needed
before they are applied to a target system.
NOTE: Setting the RAID configuration to Customize mode creates a RAID1
array and a dedicated hot-spare when possible.

1
From the management center, select
Deployment - Deployment
