Lifecycle Controller allows you to create a copy (image file) of
the server's profile on the vFlash SD card installed on the server.
The server profile backed up on a vFlash SD card contains the server
component configuration and firmware installed on various components
on the server where the card is installed. The backup image file does
not contain any operating system or hard-disk drive data. For more
information about the supported components, see Supported Components. For better security, Lifecycle Controller allows you to remove
the vFlash SD card and keep it in a safe location, or you can copy
the server profile (backup image) that is stored on the vFlash SD
card to any USB drive or an external network share. Therefore, whenever
the firmware is corrupted, configuration changes are incorrect, or
the system board is replaced, you can use the backup image to restore
the server to its previously stored profile. The following features
are available to maintain a server:
Backup Server Profile — Allows you to create
the server profile on a vFlash SD card that is installed on the server.
Lifecycle Controller can create the server profile only on the vFlash
SD card.
Export Server Profile — Allows you to export
the server profile that is stored on the vFlash SD card to a USB drive
or a network share (CIFS or NFS).
Import Server Profile — Allows you to restore
the backup image from the vFlash SD card, USB drive, or a network
share (CIFS or NFS).
Import Server License — Allows you to
import an iDRAC license from a network share or a USB drive.
