H) The Lifecycle Controller remote service must be in a “ready” state before executing any
other WSMAN commands. The GetRSStatus() method or the GetRemoteServicesAPIStatus()
method may be used depending on the version of the LC Management registered profile.
The GetRSStatus() method must first poll for ‘reloading’ then poll for ‘ready’, while
the GetRemoteServicesAPIStatus() can just poll for ‘ready.’
I) ENUMERATE the DCIM_BootSourceSetting class. See section 2.2 for a definition of
ENUMERATE .
a. The CurrentAssignedSequence of the “Hard drive C” should be 0
b. The CurrentEnabledStatus of the “Hard drive C” should be 1
4.6 Export (backup) Image to vFlash
This workflow performs a backup, or export operation, which saves the image to the vFlash.
The TIME_NOW parameter is passed, which invokes the operation immediately. Approximate
time for completion on an 12G system is 20-50 minutes depending on the system configuration.
Applies to: LC1.5.0+
Prerequisites for script:
 Valid and enabled vFlash card for licensing
 [optional] Change passphrase by editing script
Script: Backup_vFlash.win
A) The Lifecycle Controller remote service must be in a “ready” state before executing any
other WSMAN commands. The GetRSStatus() method or the GetRemoteServicesAPIStatus()
method may be used depending on the version of the LC Management registered profile.
B) BackupImage(): Performs backup operation [ReturnValue=4096].
C) Poll jobstatus for Completed: GET the InstanceID of from B). See section 2.3 for a
definition of
GET.
NOTE: The available space on the SD card will be reduced by 384MB upon completion of
successful backup.
4.7 Export (backup) iImage to CIFS or NFS Share
This workflow performs a backup, or export operation, which saves the image to a CIFS or NFS
share. The TIME_NOW parameter is passed, which invokes the operation immediately.
Approximate time for completion on a 12G system is 20-50 minutes depending on the system
configuration.
NOTE: The export operation will overwrite an existing backup image on a network share if
an identical name is used.
Applies to: LC1.5.0+
