Question 37 - D-OME-OE-A-24 discussion

When deploying a Deployment Template in OpenManage Enterprise and the target server is not listed, it could be due to the server not being part of the bare metal pool. The bare metal pool is a collection of servers that have been discovered but not yet configured or assigned to any specific group or task within OpenManage Enterprise. If a server is not part of this pool, it may not be recognized as a potential target for template deployment.

Here are the steps and considerations that might be involved in resolving this issue:

Verify Server Discovery: Ensure that the new server has been discovered by OpenManage Enterprise and is listed in the inventory.

Check Bare Metal Pool Membership: Confirm that the server is part of the bare metal pool, which is a prerequisite for deploying templates to unconfigured servers.

Review License Requirements: Make sure that the server has the necessary OpenManage Enterprise Advanced or Advanced Plus license installed, as this is required for deploying certain templates1.

Template Compatibility: Ensure that the Deployment Template is compatible with the new server's model and configuration.

For detailed guidance on creating and deploying server templates, including troubleshooting steps for when servers are not listed as targets, you can refer to the official Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise User's Guide1 and support videos2.
