Restoring Chassis Conguration Prole
You can restore the conguration of a chassis by importing the backup le (.xml or .bak) on the local management station or the network
share to which the chassis congurations were saved. The congurations include all the properties available through the CMC web
interface, RACADM commands, and settings.
To restore the chassis conguration, perform the following tasks:
1 Go to the Chassis Conguration Proles page. In the Restore Conguration > Restore Chassis Conguration section, click Browse
and select the backup le to import the saved chassis conguration.
2 Click Restore Conguration to upload an encrypted backup le (.bak) or a .xml stored prole le to the CMC.
The CMC web interface returns to the login page after a successful restore operation.
NOTE
: If the backup les (.bak) of the earlier versions of CMC, are loaded on the latest version of CMC where FIPS is enabled,
recongure all the 16 CMC local user passwords. However, the password of the rst user is reset to "calvin".
NOTE: When a chassis conguration prole is imported from a CMC, which does not support the FIPS feature, to a CMC where
FIPS is enabled, the FIPS remains enabled in the CMC.
NOTE: If you change the FIPS mode in the chassis conguration prole, the DefaultCredentialMitigation is enabled.
