Before You Begin

Before you begin importing the backup file to a system or collection, ensure

the following:

• User data is not present in the backup image file. If you overwrite the

existing configuration with the backup image file, the user data is not

restored.

• During import, 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

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 import after operating system

deployment, remove the OEMDRV partition. To remove the partition,

reset iDRAC or cancel
