Exporting server profiles
You can export a server profile, including the installed firmware images on various components such as BIOS, RAID, NIC, iDRAC,
Lifecycle Controller, and the configuration of those components. The OMIMSSC Appliance creates a file containing all the
configurations, which you can save on a vFlash SD card or network share. Select a protection vault of your choice to save
this file. You can export the configuration profiles of a server or a group of servers immediately or schedule it for a later date.
Also, you can select a relevant recurrence option as to how frequently the server profiles are exported. At an instance, you can
schedule only one export configuration job for a group of servers. You cannot perform any other activity on that server or group
of servers whose configuration profiles are being exported.
Disable the F1/F2 Prompt on Error option in BIOS Settings.
NOTE: Ensure that the Automatic Backup job in iDRAC is not scheduled at the same time.
NOTE: You cannot export server profiles after applying the filters. To export server profiles, clear all the applied filters.
NOTE: To export server profiles, you must have the iDRAC Enterprise license.
NOTE: Before exporting the server profile, make sure the IP address of the server is not changed. If the server IP has
changed due to any other operation, then rediscover this server in OMIMSSC, and then schedule the export server profile
job.
1. In OMIMSSC, click Maintenance Center. Select the servers’ whose profiles you want to export and then click Export
Server Profile.
2. In the Export Server Profile, window, provide the job details, and then select a protection vault.
