Back up the server configuration

After setting up the server or making changes to the configuration, it is a good practice to make a complete
backup of the server configuration.
Make sure that you create backups for the following server components:
• Management processor
You can back up the management processor configuration through the Lenovo XClarity Controller
interface. For details about backing up the management processor configuration, see:
http://sysmgt.lenovofiles.com/help/topic/com.lenovo.systems.management.xcc.doc/NN1ia_c_
backupthexcc.html
Alternatively, you can use the s s a a v v e e command from Lenovo XClarity Essentials OneCLI to create a backup
of all configuration settings. For more information about the s s a a v v e e command, see:
http://sysmgt.lenovofiles.com/help/topic/toolsctr_cli_lenovo/onecli_r_save_command.html
• Operating system
Use your own operating-system and user-data backup methods to back up the operating system and
user data for the server.

Universal Unique Identifier (UUID).
