Exporting Lifecycle Log
Use this feature to export the Lifecycle Log information to an XML file. Store
the XML file on an USB Device or network share, or both the locations.
To export the lifecycle log, invoke the ExportLifecycleLog() method on the
DCIM_LCService class. For more information on the schema, see "Schema" on
page 83.
Deleting Configuration and Resetting to Defaults
Use this feature to delete any sensitive data and configuration related
information when you need to retire a managed node, reuse a managed node
for a different application, or move a managed node to a non-secure location.
CAUTION: This feature resets the iDRAC to factory defaults, and deletes all
iDRAC user credentials and IP address configuration settings. It also deletes
lifecycle logs that contain the history of all the change events, firmware upgrades,
and user comments, certificates, ExportFactoryConfiguration information, and
firmware rollback files. It is recommended that you export the Lifecycle Log in a
safe location before using this feature. After the operation, manually shut down
and power on the system.
NOTE: Backup the lifecycle log and the ExportedFactoryConfiguration before
deleting the configuration.
To delete configuration and reset to factory default, invoke the LCWipe()
method on the
DCIM_LCService class.
