Importing server profile
You can import a server profile which was previously exported for that same server, or group of servers.
Importing server profile is useful in restoring the configuration and firmware of the server to the state
stored in the profile. In such cases, you can replace the server profile on that server, or group of servers
by importing a previously exported server profile of that server or group of servers.
You can import server profiles in two ways:
• Quick import server profile — allows you to automatically import the latest exported server profile for
that server. You need not select individual server profiles for each of the servers for this operation.
• Custom import server profile — allows you to import server profiles for each of the individually
selected servers. For example, if exporting server profile is scheduled, and the server profile is
exported every day, this feature allows you to select a specific server profile that is imported from the
list of server profiles available in the protection vault of that server.
Import server profile notes:
• You can import a server profile from the list of exported server profiles for that server only. You
cannot import the same server profiles for different servers or server groups. If you try to import
server profile of another server or server group, the import server profile job fails.
• If a server profile image is not available for a particular server or group of servers, and an import server
profile job is attempted for that particular server or group of servers, the import server profile job fails
