Use Case Scenarios 85
Post-restore Scenario
• The following operations are performed:
a System powers off if turned on. If the operating system is running, it
attempts to perform a graceful shutdown, else it performs a forced
shutdown after 15 minutes.
b System restores all the Lifecycle controller content.
c System powers on and boots into System Services to execute tasks to
perform firmware restore for supported devices (BIOS, Storage
Controllers and Add-in NIC cards).
d System reboots and enters System Services to execute tasks for
firmware validation, configuration restore for supported devices
(BIOS, Storage Controllers and Add-in NIC cards) and the final
verification of all tasks executed.
e System powers off and perform iDRAC configuration and firmware
restore. After completion, iDRAC resets and takes up to 10 minutes
before the system powers on.
f System powers on and restore process is complete. Check the iDRAC
RAC logs or Lifecycle logs for complete restore process entries.
• After import, check the Lifecycle Logs either from the USC-LCE GUI or
export the LC logs using WS-Management to a network share. The logs
have entries for configuration and firmware updates of BIOS, Storage
Controllers, LOMs, and add-in NIC cards if supported. If there are
multiple entries for each of these devices, the number of entries is equal to
the number of times Remote Services has tried to perform restoration.
