System or Feature Behavior During Import
• Lifecycle Controller is not available during restore, and is enabled after the import operation is complete.
• Restores everything that was backed up, including Lifecycle controller content.
• Import may take up to 45 minutes depending on the server conguration.
• Diagnostics or driver pack information is not restored.
• If extra restarts occur during tasks executed in Lifecycle Controller, it is because there was an issue while trying to set the device
conguration, which attempts to perform the task again. Check the Lifecycle Logs for information on the failed device.
• Import operation for a card fails if the slot in which it was installed earlier has changed.
• The import operation restores only Perpetual license. The Evaluation license is not restored only if it has not expired.
Post-import Scenario
The managed-system performs the following operations:
1. The system if turned on, will automatically turn o. 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 turns on and boots into System Services to execute tasks to perform rmware restore for supported devices (BIOS,
Storage Controllers, and Add-in NIC cards).
3. System reboots and goes into System Services to execute tasks for rmware validation, conguration restore for supported
devices (BIOS, Storage Controllers, and Add-in NIC cards) and the nal verication of all tasks executed.
4. System turns o and performs iDRAC conguration and rmware restore. After completion, iDRAC resets and takes up to 10
minutes before the system turns on.
5. System turns on and the restore process is complete. Check the Lifecycle logs for the restore process entries.
