90 Using the System Viewer Utility
To export the system profile:
1 On the System Viewer Utility, select Platform Restore .
The utility checks for a valid license of the Dell vFlash SD card on the
Lifecycle Controller of the system, and also the firmware version. If a valid
license is present, the
Platform Restore screen is displayed.
NOTE: This feature is available only for Lifecycle Controller version 1.5 and
later.
2 On the Platform Restore screen, select the Export Server Profile option
and click
Next . The options to select the vFlash media or location are
displayed.
3 Select one of the following options:
– vFlash media: to take the back up on the Integrated Dell Remote
Access Controller vFlash Card.
– Network share: to take the back up on a shared location on the
network. If you choose this option you must specify the following
information:
• Existing share: Specify share location if you are creating a backup
for the first time. This information is cached for subsequent
backups and you can select the existing location from the drop-
down box.
• User name: Specify the user name to access the share location.
You must specify the user name in the following format:
Domain\<username>. This information is also cached after the
first backup. You can use the same name for subsequent backups.
• Password: Specify the password to access the share location and
re-type the password to confirm it.
NOTE: Ensure the share location that you specify is writable and there is
enough disk space to allow Lifecycle Controller to save the backup file.
4 Enter a backup file passphrase. This is used to lock the encrypted portions
of the backup file. For a successful backup operation, the backup file
passphrase has to be in a specific format, which is as follows:
– the passphrase must contain a minimum of 8 characters
