Managing
Profile Data
Logical partition
profiles on your managed system should be backed up after changes
are made to partition profiles and before updating HMC software.
To back up profile
data for a managed system:
- In the navigation
pane, select Systems Management to list the system
resources.
- Select Servers.
- Select the
desired managed system.
- In the tasks
pad, select Configuration to list the available
tasks.
- From the
tasks list, select Manage Partition Data and
Backup. The Profile Data Backup window displays.
(See below left.)
- In the Profile
Data Backup window, enter the name for the new backup file.
From the Manage
Partition Data task list, you can also:
- Restore partition
data from a previous backup.
- Initialize
partition data on your managed system (Initializing partition
data will delete all currently defined system profiles, partitions,
and partition profiles).
- Delete partition
data.
Backup profile
data is stored on the HMC itself and may be used to restore the
managed system after firmware updates and in the event of system
failure. |
