This command applies (deploys) a server pattern to one
or more managed servers. You can also deploy a server pattern to one
or more empty bays in a chassis that is managed by Lenovo XClarity Administrator or in a placeholder chassis. Deploying a server pattern
before the server is installed reserves management IP addresses, reserves
virtual Ethernet or Fibre Channel addresses, and pushes the network
setting to the relative switch internal ports.

Examples
The following example deploys a server pattern to two
rack servers and immediately activates the pattern on the servers.
connect --url https://192.0.2.0 --user ADMIN --noverify
configpatterns apply -i 48 -r immediate -t rack
-e AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA,BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
The following example deploys a server pattern to a Flex System
server but does not not activate settings on the server until the
server is manually restarted.
connect --url https://192.0.2.0 --user ADMIN --noverify
configpatterns apply –n pattern_C -r pending -t node -e CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
