18.1 Exporting Server Profile
To backup host system server profile, invoke the BackupImage() method in the class DCIM_LCService.
Backup feature gathers system information, firmware images, hardware configuration, Lifecycle
Controller, iDRAC firmware, and configuration and stores the information in a file. You can save the
file on either iDRAC vFlash SD card or network share.
[IP ADDRESS]: This is the IP address of the file server.
[DRIVESHARE]: This is the directory path for the image.
[USERNAME]: This is the username to the file share.
[PASSWORD]: This is the password to the file share.
[IMAGENAME]: This is the desired name of the image.
[PASSPHRASE]: This can be used to password protect NFS and CIFS images.
For NFS and CIFS shares, the entire “Passphrase="[PASSPHRASE]";” argument is optional. Note:
To restore this backup file, the same passphrase must passed as an argument for the operation to
be successful.
The following examples back up the server profile and execute it immediately, using the TIME_NOW
parameter.
