Backing up the management software image after setup
Back up the IBM® Flex System Manager management software image at the end of the setup process, so that you can restore the configuration data from initial setup if the management node fails. The backup image includes all applied fixes, data on managed chassis, and any custom settings.
Important: After you complete the management software setup,
back up the management software image
to prevent the loss of configuration data.
You can use the management software web
interface to back up the management software image
to the management node hard disk drive, a USB drive, or a secure FTP
server.If you restore the management software to its default settings, the backups remain intact. After you log in to the management software, you can click the restore button again and bring the image back to a known state.
