For a 11G server, the utility checks for a valid license of the Dell vFlash SD
card on the Lifecycle Controller of the system and for a 12G server, the
utility checks for an Enterprise license, 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 .
3 Select one of the following options:
–
vFlash media — To back up on the iDRAC vFlash Card.
–
Network share — To 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.
•
Domain\Username — 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.
•

re-type the password to confirm it.
NOTE: Ensure that the share location you specify has write permissions and
has enough disk space to allow the Lifecycle Controller to save the backup
file.
