First, you must create a Template (specifying what OS to install) then create a System Role for a system with its unique MAC address, then assign the Template to that System Role. If you create multiple Templates, you can easily change what OS to install on the system by simply assigning a different Template to the System Role.

 

MAC-Spec_template_create_button_with_arrows

 

Select what you want to provision with this Template:

MAC-Spec_template_RHEL55_dropdown_arrows

 

After you have made your selection, the form’s fields will be automatically populated:

MAC-Spec_template_RHEL55_autofilled_EditNameArrows

 

You will then be brought back to the Templates page:

MAC-Spec_Templates_menu_60_RHEL55

 

Now, create (or edit an existing) Provisioning Role:

MAC-Spec_role_create_60_arrows

 

 

Select the Template for your Role:

MAC-Spec_role_create_rhel55_dropdown_arrow_template

 

 

Complete the form and select the "Next Boot" option:

MAC-Spec_role_create_rhel55_autofilled_arrows

 

 

And you will be brought to the Roles Dashboard:

MAC-Spec_dashboard_RHEL55

 

Finally, boot the Client System to the network, and it will be provisioned with the operating system you selected. It will then reboot and be fully operational.
