39 RESTful Server Configuration with iDRAC RESTful API

2.12 Applying a source configuration image to a target server

The configuration files resulting from exporting settings using the Clone options can be imported just as easily

and in the same fashion as any other configuration file using the import scripts previously shown.

Utilizing the script which was modified to include the ExportUse option the source image configuration is first

exported.

$ python ./redfish_SCP_export_clone.py 192.168.0.120 root calvin

jwr_rf_clone.xml

2.12.1 Modifying the iDRAC IP address to match the clone target

Since a full clone is desired, all settings are kept as-is in the export file with the exception of the iDRAC

address. Unless the iDRAC IP address is updated, the target iDRAC IP address will become identical to the

source and will not function on the network. We will now modify the iDRAC IP address from 192.168.0.120 to

192.168.0.121 to avoid this address conflict:
