Deployment is the process of applying a full or partial system configuration on a specific target device. In OME-M, templates are the basis for all deployments. Templates contain the system configuration attributes that get provisioned to the target server, then the iDRAC on the target server applies the attributes contained in the template and reboots the server if necessary. Often, templates contain virtual identity attributes. As mentioned above, identity attributes must have unique values on the network. Identity Pools facilitate the assignment and management of unique virtual identities.
