UCS service profile restore requirements and considerations

Consider the following before restoring UCS service profile backups:

     Service profiles, templates, pools, and policies must be restored using the original name to prevent namespace collisions.

     Restoring a profile, template, pool, or policy overwrites the original if it exists on the UCS.

     Restoring an active profile takes down that service profile. You must restart the service profile after the restore completes.

     Restores are performed to the original client or to an alternate UCS manager client. If you are replicating, you can restore from replicated backups. See To restore a UCS service profile backup from the replication target for details.

     Only one restore or backup operation per UCS manager can run at any given time. Any subsequent jobs are queued and started once the last run completes.
