HP ProLiant DL320e Gen8 Server - Manual (Page 18)

After creating an iLO Federation Group, you can store Intelligent Provisioning server profiles on
the network. When a profile has been stored by a Federation Group member on the network at
one server, you can install the same profile on any other server in the Federation Group by selecting
it from the drop-down menu on the Deployment Settings page. You will not have to bring the profile
with you on a USB key to each new server.
See “Deployment Settings” (page 38) for details on creating and deploying server profiles.
NOTE: iLO Federation Management support is provided as a Technology Preview. The menu
item for iLO Federation Management lets you see how the feature is designed to work in an iLO
Federation Group, but does not let you get profiles from the network.
