Exporting the system profiles before and after hardware configuration

You can use this option to create a backup of the system profiles and export it to an iDRAC vFlash Card or a Network share.

1. Select Configure when to Export Hardware Configuration.
   NOTE All the controls and options are enabled in this page if this option is selected.
2. Select the options Before and/or After to export the system profiles before and/or after hardware configuration.
   NOTE You can either select both the Before and After option or any one of the options. If you do not select any option, the Do not Export option is considered and a warning is displayed before proceeding.
3. Enter an Export File Passphrase. See step 4 in Exporting the system profile to include an Export file passphrase that should be in a specific format.
4. Enter an Export File Name Prefix.
   NOTE You can specify a file name prefix that is the same as an earlier Export file and in such situations, the Export file is overwritten.
   The Export files are appended with the hostname of the system and saved before hardware configuration in the following format: <Before>_<prefix>-<node_id>

   The Export files after hardware configuration are saved in the following format: <After>_<prefix>-<node_id>

5. Select Continue on error to continue the deployment, even if there is an error.
6. Select vFlash media or Network share. See step 3 in Exporting the system profile for more information about share selection.
