Importing Server Profile From iDRAC vFlash Card

Or Network Share

You can restore the backup of a system profile for a single system or a

collection of systems from an iDRAC vFlash card or a network share using

DLCI for Configuration Manager.

Prerequisites

• Common Prerequisites.

• The service tag of the server is either blank or same as when the backup

was taken.

• iDRAC vFlash card:

– Is installed as a license, enabled and has the SRVCNF partition. In

Lifecycle Controller, during backup, a partition with a label name

SRVCNF is automatically created on the vFlash SD card to store the

backup image file. If a partition with the label name SRVCNF already

exists, it is overwritten. For more information, see Lifecycle Controller

documentation at

support.dell.com/manuals

– Has available minimum free space of 384 MB.

• If you are importing from an iDRAC vFlash card, make sure that the card

is installed and has the backup image in the SRVCNF partition. This

image is from the same platform that you are importing.

• If you are importing from a network share, make sure that the network

share where the backup image file is stored is still accessible.

• If you replace the system board before performing import, make sure that

the system board has the latest iDRAC and BIOS installed.
