Abstract
The configuration of servers using profile templates is disclosed. A profile template for configuring one or more servers is loaded. The profile template includes abstracted server configuration parameters and server configuration rules, and can be abstracted from parent profile templates. The parameters are for abstractly configuring a server type of which the servers are, whereas the rules specify how values of the parameters translate to direct server values for directly configuring the servers, based on attributes of the servers. A user is requested to modify preset of the parameters, and/or enter missing values of the parameters. Finally, a configuration for each server is generated as the values of the parameters, and the server configuration rules.
