Before You Begin
Before you begin exporting the system profile for a single system or a
collection:
• Make sure that operations such as firmware update, operating system
deployment, and firmware configurations are not running.
• After you deploy the operating system using Lifecycle Controller, the
Original Equipment Manufacturer Drive (OEMDRV) is open for 18 hours
as the Lifecycle Controller does not have the status of the operating
system installation. If you need to perform the operations such as update,
configuration, or restore after operating system deployment, remove the
OEMDRV partition. To remove the partition, reset iDRAC or cancel
System Services .
For more information on resetting iDRAC or cancelling
System Services ,
see the
Dell Lifecycle Controller Remote Services User’s Guide available at
support.dell.com/manuals .
• If you have scheduled the backup, then do not schedule any other remote
services jobs such as BIOS updates or RAID configuration on the target
systems.
• Make sure that the backup image file is not tampered with, either during
export or after export.
Workflow
1 To export the system profile of a single target system, launch the System
