Importing server prole after system board replacement
Before importing the server prole after replacing the system board, make sure that the following prerequisites are met:
• A backup image of the server with the old system board is present.
• If you are restoring from a vFlash SD card, it must be installed, and contain the backup image in a folder labeled SRVCNF. This image
must be from the same server that you are trying to restore.
• If you are restoring from a network share, make sure that the network share where the backup image le is stored is accessible.
After replacing the system board, import the server prole from a vFlash SD card, network share, or a USB device.
• See Post-Import Scenario.
• The Service Tag is restored on the new system board from the backup le.
NOTE: Lifecycle Controller prompts you with a dialog box to retrieve the Service Tag and restore the server prole, if you have
replaced a system board and have not entered the Service Tag on the replaced system board.
