To restore items from a UCS service profile backup to the original UCS manager

Use this procedure to restore selected service profiles, templates, pools, and policies to the original UCS manager. Note that service profiles are often associated with dependent templates and policies. Be sure to restore all dependent items as needed.

Important! Any item restored overwrites the original if it is still present on the UCS. Any active service profiles that are restored are taken down by the restore process and must be restarted after the restore completes.

1        In the left Navigation pane, expand the original Cisco UCS client by clicking the arrow to its left.

2        Select the UCS Service Profile icon, then click Restore.

3        Select a Recovery Point Day from which the backup will be restored by clicking on the calendar. Available days display in bold.

4        Select a restore time and click Next (Select Files/Items).

Select from available times in the Recovery Point Times table or by clicking a wedge of time on the 24-hour circle. The backup to restore displays in the Type column.

5        On the Restore from Backup of Client page, do one of the following:

     Browse the File Selection List for desired items. Check the box to the left of each item you wish to restore. To remove all selections, click to uncheck the box to the left of the top-level directory (.).

     Click Show Advanced File Selection to select entire folders.

6        Click Restore.

7        To confirm you understand that active profiles will be taken down and that dependencies will not automatically be restored, click Yes to continue.

The Restore Status page indicates whether the restore has been queued successfully. Click Okay to close.

8        To monitor the restore job, select Settings > System Monitoring > Jobs.

The restore job displays in the grid. In a successful restore, status changes from Queued to Active to Successful.

9        Once the restore completes, use the UCS manager to restart any service profiles that have been restored.
