4 SCP Import
SCP Import is a streamlined configuration, firmware, and OS deployment workflow that consumes the
template generated by the SCP Export process. Import will validate the template and compare the current
configuration to the requests made by the template. If changes are detected between the template and the
current configuration, then the SCP Import operation will apply the new settings.
NOTE: After executing an Import operation, a job ID will be returned which can be queried to check the
status and validate whether the process is completed or failed. If failed, check the iDRAC Lifecycle Logs
for more details. For more information on how to check the job status, refer to the workflow section of
this document.
Job ID example from the iDRAC shell:
racadm>>set -t xml -f default.xml -u user -p password -l //ip/share/ -c iDRAC
RAC977: Import configuration XML file operation initiated.
Use the "racadm jobqueue view -i JID_898317921404" command to view the status
of the operation.
The final job status for an SCP Import operation will always be Completed, Completed with Errors, No
Change or Failed.
• Completed means the operation successfully applied requested changes and performed all
requested actions successfully.
• Completed with Errors means the operation was partially successful.
• No Change means that the operation was unable to detect any differences between the template and
the current configuration.
• Failed means that all detected changes were unable to be applied.
Regardless of the end status of the operation, it’s recommended to review the LCL and confirm that the
desired actions were performed.
Viewing the job status example:
racadm>>jobqueue view -i JID_898317921404

All changes applied are logged to the LCL with configuration results entries. If any change is attempted and
fails to apply, then a configuration results event is logged to the LCL with an error message stating the reason
for the failure.
