Using the Configuration Utility 63

When the backup files for a collection are created, the backup file for each

system is created with the prefix you specify, followed by the service tag of the

system. This is to manage the backup files created to ease out the restoring

process.

Importing the System Profiles in a Collection

You can import the system profiles/backup files that you have created. This

option is applicable only if you have created backup images/profiles of the

systems in the collection.

To launch the Platform Restore screen for a collection:

On the ConfigMgr console, right-click on

Computer

ManagementCollections



All Dell Lifecycle Controller Servers

and

select

Dell Lifecycle Controller



Launch Config Utility.

Select the

Platform Restore

option.

The steps to import the backup files for a collection are similar to that of

importing a backup file for a single system.

Follow step 2 to step 6 as given in Importing the System Profile.

The list of systems for which the backup files exist are displayed in a grid.

Select the systems for which you want to import the backup files and click

Next.

NOTE: If a valid backup file is not available on the network share location for

any system, the grid displays the system with the value No in the Backup File column

and the check box is disabled.

A task is submitted to the Task Viewer. You can launch the Tas k Vi ew er to

view the status of the tasks.

Configuring Part Replacement Properties for a Collection

The steps to configure Part Replacement properties for a collection of systems

are similar to that of configuring the properties for a single system. However,

the check for valid licenses for the collection of systems is performed only

after you complete configuring the other properties and submit the task.
