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.
