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.
