You must have Server Control privilege to perform this operation.
NOTE: While importing the server configuration profile, changing the USB management settings in
the XML file results in a failed job or job completed with errors. You can comment out the attributes
in the XML to avoid the errors.
To import the server configuration profile from the USB device to iDRAC:
1. Configure the USB management port:
• Set USB Management Port Mode to Automatic or iDRAC.
• Set iDRAC Managed: USB XML Configuration to Enabled with default credentials or Enabled.
2. Insert the USB key (that has the configuration.xml and the control.xml file) to the iDRAC USB port.
3. The server configuration profile is discovered on the USB device in the System_Configuration_XML
sub-directory under the USB device root directory. It is discovered in the following sequence:
• <servicetag>-config.xml
• <modelnum>-config.xml
• config.xml
4. A server configuration profile import job starts.
If the profile is not discovered, then the operation stops.
If iDRAC Managed: USB XML Configuration was set to Enabled with default credentials and the
BIOS setup password is not null or if one of the iDRAC user accounts have been modified, an error
message is displayed and the operation stops.
5. LCD panel and LED (if present) display the status that an import job has started.
6. If there is a configuration that needs to be staged and the Shut Down Type is specified as No Reboot
is specified in the control file, then you must reboot the server for the settings to be configured. Else,
server is rebooted and the configuration is applied. Only when the server was already powered down,
then the staged configuration is applied even if the No Reboot option is specified.
7. After the import job is complete, the LCD/LED indicates that the job is complete. If a reboot is
required, LCD displays the job status as “Paused waiting on reboot”.
8. If the USB device is left inserted on the server, the result of the import operation is recorded in the
results.xml file in the USB device.
LCD messages
If the LCD panel is available, it displays the following messages in a sequence:
1. Importing – When the server configuration profile is being copied from the USB device.
2. Applying — When the job is in-progress.
3. Completed — When the job has completed successfully.
4. Completed with errors — When the job has completed with errors.
5. Failed — When the job has failed.
For more details, see the results file on the USB device.
