Managing devices in OMIMSSC
Maintain servers and Modular Systems up-to-date by scheduling jobs for upgrading firmware for server and Modular Systems
components. Manage servers by recovering servers to an earlier state by exporting its earlier configuration, applying the
configurations of the old component on replaced component, and exporting LC logs for troubleshooting.
Topics:
• Server recovery
• Applying firmware and configuration settings on replaced component
• Collecting LC logs for servers
• Exporting inventory
• Cancelling scheduled jobs
Server recovery
Save a server’s configurations in protection vault by exporting a server’s configurations to a profile and importing the profile on
same server to reinstate it to an earlier state.
Protection vault
Protection vault is a secure location where you can save server profiles. Export server profile from a server or a group of
servers and import them to same server or group of servers. You can save this server profile on a shared location in the network
by creating an external vault or on a vFlash Secure Digital (SD) card by creating an internal vault. You can associate a server or
a group of servers with only one protection vault. However, you can associate one protection vault with many servers or group
of servers. You can save a server profile on only one protection vault. However, you can save any number of server profiles on a
single protection vault.
Creating protection vault
Ensure that vault location is accessible.
1. In OMIMSSC, click Maintenance Center, and then click Maintenance Settings.
2. In Maintenance Center, click Protection Vault, and then click Create.
3. Select a type of protection vault you want to use and provide the details.
● If you are creating a protection vault of type Network Share, provide a location to save the profiles, credentials to
access this location and a passphrase to secure the profile.
NOTE: This type of protection vault provides support file sharing of type Common Internet File System (CIFS).
● If you are creating a protection vault of type vFlash, provide the passphrase to secure the profile.
Modifying protection vault
You cannot modify the name, description, type of protection vault, and passphrase.
1. In OMIMSSC, click Maintenance Center > Maintenance Settings > Protection Vault.
2. To modify the vault, select the vault and click Edit.
NOTE:
If the protection vault is modified while the server profile export or import jobs are in progress, the edited
information will be considered for the pending sub tasks in the job.
