Server Configuration Profile

A server’s configuration can be exported or imported by using the Server Configuration Profile (SCP) feature. The export operation

captures a snapshot of the system configuration to a supported file format (XML or JSON) and exports it to a network file share that

you specify. The SCP file can then be edited to change one or more configuration settings spanning different device classes, and

can then be imported to one or more target systems.

This section provides information on using SCP for:

 SupportAssist Registration

 SupportAssist Configuration

For SupportAssist Registration by using SCP, ensure that the prerequisites are met before the import operation. Lifecycle Controller

Logs indicates if the registration did not proceed because the prerequisites were not met.

For information on all supported RACADM and WSMAN commands and available options to export and import SCP configurations,

see the following SCP whitepaper: Creating and Managing Server Configuration Profiles.

Exporting Server Configuration Profile

To export a server configuration profile to a CIFS location, use the following RACADM command:

racadm get -t xml -f file -u myuser -p mypass -l //10.11.12.13/share

Example: Exporting a server configuration profile file in XML format to a CIFS share

racadm get -t xml -f scp_default.xml -u cifsuname -p cifspasswd -l //10.11.12.13/cifs

Output:

RAC976: Export configuration XML file operation initiated.

Use the "racadm jobqueue view -i JID_940170424096" command to view the status of the operation.

The following are the attributes in the SupportAssist Registration section of the exported SCP file.
