AlliedView NMS Administration Guide
To deploy a profile, right click on a profile in the Profiles table and select Deploy Profile. The Deploy Port Profile Form
appears.
Note: The user can also select Profile -> Deploy Profile from the main menu. Note that the Profile menu item includes *, which
indicates out of sync.
To fill out this form, follow these steps:
1. Enter the device or port selection method (one of the selection methods described in bullet lists at the top of this
section).
2. Depending on the selection method chosen, select the devices and/or ports on which to apply the profile.
Note: If the Profile Scoping field was used in filling out the Profile, only those devices that match the Profile Scoping are available.
3. Press the Deploy button.
4. An AlliedView NMS Task Details window is displayed indicating the progress of the Profile Deployment task as the
devices in the network are updated.
5. The “Node” or “Configured Ports” tables will be updated to indicate that the selected devices or ports are now using the
selected Profile. (This is part of Profile Monitoring, described in 6.10.)
6.7 Redeploying a Profile
There are times when a user needs to re-synchronize the parameters stored in the Profile on the NMS with the
configuration of the actual devices or ports in the network. This could be needed after a change is made to the Profile, or
when the user wants to reset any temporary changes made to individual ports in the network back to the Profile
configuration. To re-apply or re-deploy a profile to the network, follow these steps:
1. Bring up the Profile Deployment window for a device or port.
2. To re-deploy Port Profiles select Apply to ports with Profile port selection method.
3. To re-deploy Device Profiles select Apply to devices with Profile device selection method.
4. Select the current profile.
5. Press the Deploy button.
6. The NMS will start a Task to reset all the parameters on the appropriate device(s) or port(s) to match those defined in
the Profile.
Note: The NMS will only set parameters where the value on the device differs for the value in the Profile.
6.8 Scheduling Deployment of a Profile
There are situations where a Profile should be deployed at a particular time in the future (such as pending service activation)
or at regular intervals (such as switching back and forth between two Profiles based on time of day or day of week). To
schedule the deployment of a profile follow these steps:
1. Sets up a profile deployment.
2. Instead of pressing the Deploy button, press the Next button to bring up the scheduling window.
3. Select One Time schedule or Recurring schedule and the appropriate parameters for each.
4. Press the Finish button to submit the request to the NMS scheduler.
5. At the specified time(s), the NMS deploys the Profile.
Note: The scheduling mechanism will be the same one as used by the Device Backup/Restore and Software Download applications.
