OpenManage Enterprise 4.1.x User's Guide
Migrate a profile
A deployed or autodeployed profile can be migrated from an existing target device or service tag to an identical target device or service tag.
Prerequisites
- To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise, you must have the necessary user privileges. See Role and scope-based access.
- To migrate a profile with custom telemetry configuration, ensure that it has a valid iDRAC DataCenter license and the iDRAC firmware is 4.40 and above.
About this task
- Migrating a profile moves settings that the profile defined (including deployed virtual identities) from the source to the target.
- You can force the migration of a profile even if the source device cannot be contacted. In this case, the user must ensure that there are no virtual identity conflicts.
- True target-specific attributes are not reclaimed from the 'source' server as part of migration. Therefore, the same inventory details can be present on two servers post migration.
Steps
- On the screen, select a profile and click Migrate to activate the Migrate Profile wizard.
-
On the
Selection dialog:
- From the Select source profile drop-down, select the profile that you want to migrate.
- Click Select Target and from the Job target dialog box, select a target device and click Ok.
-
If needed, select the
Force the migration even if the source device cannot be contacted check box.
NOTE:You must ensure that there are no virtual identity conflicts.
- Click Next.
-
On the Schedule screen, select from one of the following:
- Select Update Now to migrate the profile settings immediately to the target.
- Select a Date and Time to schedule the migration.
- Click Finish.
Results
- A job is created to migrate the settings of a profile to the new target device. You can view the status of the job on the screen.
- For profiles with custom telemetry configuration, ensure that the device has a valid iDRAC DataCenter license. Otherwise, the job fails, and the task execution history shows the following:
#Attributes Failed to apply CustomComponents - required license is missin or expired.
