Post-import Scenario

The managed system performs the following operations:

1. System powers off if turned on. If the system boots into an operating system, it attempts to perform a graceful

shutdown. If it is not able to perform a graceful shutdown, it performs a forced shutdown after 15 minutes.

2. 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).

3. System reboots and goes into 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.

4. System powers off and performs iDRAC configuration and firmware restore. After completion, iDRAC resets and

takes up to 10 minutes before the system powers on.

5. System powers on and the restore process is complete. Check the Lifecycle logs for the restore process entries.
