Users Guide

● You can import a server profile from a 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 for those particular servers that do
that have server profile. A log message is added in the Activity logs with the details of the failure.
● After exporting a server profile, if any component is removed from the server, and then an import profile job is started,
all the components information are restored except the missing component information is skipped. This information is not
available in the activity log of OMIMSSC. To know more about the missing components, see iDRAC’s LifeCycle Log.
● You cannot import a server profile after applying the filters. To import server profiles, clear all the applied filters.
● To import server profiles, you must have the iDRAC Enterprise license.
