Backing up your current configuration You can download a copy of your current IMM configuration to the client computer that is running the IMM Web interface. Use this backup copy to restore your IMM configuration if it is accidentally changed or damaged. Use it as a base that you can modify to configure multiple IMMs with similar configurations. The configuration information that is saved under this procedure does not include the server firmware configuration settings or any IPMI settings that are not common with the non-IMPI user interfaces. To back up your current configuration, complete the following steps: 1. Log in to the IMM where you want to back up your current configuration. For more information, see Chapter 2, "Opening and using the IMM Web interface," on page 9. 2. In the navigation pane, click Configuration File. 3. In the Backup IMM Configuration area, click view the current configuration summary. 4. Verify the settings and then click Close. 5. To back up this configuration, click Backup. 6. Type a name for the backup, select the location where the file will be saved, and then click Save. In Mozilla Firefox, click Save File, then click OK. In Microsoft Internet Explorer, click Save this file to disk, then click OK. Restoring and modifying your IMM configuration You can restore a saved configuration in full, or you can modify key fields in the saved configuration before you restore the configuration to your IMM. By modifying the configuration file before you restore it, you can set up multiple IMMs with similar configurations. You can quickly specify parameters that require unique values such as names and IP addresses, without having to enter common, shared information. To restore or modify your current configuration, complete the following steps: 1. Log in to the IMM where you want to restore the configuration. For more information, see Chapter 2, "Opening and using the IMM Web interface," on page 9. 2. In the navigation pane, click Configuration File. 3. In the Restore IMM Configuration area, click Browse. 4. Click the configuration file that you want; then, click Open. The file (including the full path) appears in the box next to Browse. 5. If you do not want to make changes to the configuration file, click Restore. A new window opens with the IMM configuration information. Make sure that this is the configuration that you want to restore. If it is not the correct configuration, click Cancel. If you want to make changes to the configuration file before you restore the configuration, click Modify and Restore to open an editable configuration summary window. Initially, only the fields that allow changes are displayed. To change between this view and the complete configuration summary view, click the Toggle View button at the top or bottom of the window. To modify the contents of a field, click the corresponding text box and enter the data. 46 Integrated Management Module: User Guide
