iRMC

Backup
Selects available server blades to load the iRMC settings, and backs up the
•
iRMC settings using the selected parameters.
This function enables a configuration of a server blade's service processor
(iRMC) to be used to simplify configuration of all server blades in the system
unit (up to 18 in a BX900). For this purpose defined configuration values
(iRMC config variables) from the sectors a) user management and b) IP network
are backed up on a medium (USB, MMB memory).
To permit successful backup, it is necessary that the status display of the MMB
glows green.
Restore
Loads the iRMC settings from source media and modifies the settings to restore
•
selected parameters to selected blades.
The restoration procedure requires a backup to have been made beforehand and
a corresponding backup file which is either made available via USB or is
already contained in the MMB's memory. The configuration data contained in
the backup file can be edited and then be copied to a server blade or to multiple
server blades of the same type. This also ensures that all service processors of
the server blades have identical settings.
To permit successful restoration, it is necessary that the status display of the
MMB glows green.
