```

## Aliases

```

## Steps

Follow the steps below to run and view the result of this command:

1. Ensure that you already have a valid Project ID. Refer to the Project List section to obtain your project ID.
2. Identify the available compute profile for your server. Currently, only the bmaas-test-profile is available.
3. Run the following command in your terminal:

```
cldkctl baremetal create --project [project ID] --name [instance name] --compute-profile [compute profile]
```

4. Replace `[project ID]` with your actual project ID, `[instance name]` with your desired bare metal server name, and `[compute profile]` with the compute profile name.
5. Once completed successfully, the terminal displays the success message **"Bare metal instance successfully created".**
