[Set] from the popup menu.
The [Set Maintenance Mode] dialog is displayed.
b. Click <OK>.
The target server is placed into maintenance mode.

- Deploying a cloning image to a single destination server
a. In the ROR console server resource tree, right-click the destination server (or its physical OS) and select [Cloning]-
[Deploy] from the popup menu.
The [Deploy a Cloning Image] dialog is displayed.
The available cloning images are displayed.
Only cloning images that have been collected from a server of the same model as the destination server are available for
deployment.

Server name after deployment
Enter the name of the server to which the cloning image is to be deployed.
By default, the physical OS name is entered if the physical OS is registered. If the physical OS is not registered, the
physical server name is entered.

Note
When using SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, it is not possible to configure server names that include periods (".") for the
post-deployment server names of cloning images.
Information
Since the entered server name is also used as the hostname of its corresponding destination server, it is recommended to
use only characters defined in RFC (Request For Comments) 952:
- Alphanumeric characters
- Hyphens, ("-")
- Periods, (".") [Linux]
[Release from Maintenance Mode after deployment] checkbox
Enable this option to automatically release the destination server from maintenance mode after cloning image deployment.
If this option disabled, maintenance mode should be released manually after collecting the cloning image.
