Dell Lifecycle Controller GUI v2.30.30.30 User's Guide

Use the Import Server Profile feature to apply a backup to the system from which it was taken previously, and restore the system hardware and firmware configuration according to the information stored in the backup image file. For more information about the supported components, see Supported Components. The operation restores the backup information to all the system components that are located in the same physical location (for example, in the same slot) when the backup was performed. If you install components such as a RAID controller, NIC, CNA, FC HBA, and hard-disk drive in a slot that is different from the slot they were installed before backup, the restore operation fails on such components. The failures are logged in the Lifecycle Log.

You can cancel a restore job using the iDRAC Settings utility by pressing <F2> during POST, and then clicking Yes under Cancel Lifecycle Controller Actions or resetting iDRAC. This operation initiates the recovery process and restores the system to a previously known state. The recovery process may take more than five minutes based on system configuration. To check if the recovery process is complete, view the Lifecycle logs in the iDRAC web interface.
