RAID Configuration→ Import/Export→ Import Function

Description

The RAID Configuration→ Import/Export→ Import function imports a RAID configuration package from a file to the image server. After you import an image to the system, you can use it to configure the RAID setting of the target systems. 

Prerequisites

A RAID configuration package file must reside in a local directory on the image server. The image server must have at least one storage location.

Operations and Inputs

NOTE: (*) indicates a required field or task.

1. Enter the following parameters for importing the RAID configuration package:
   
   
   • RAID package file location — The file name and path of the package file to be imported to the system. Format the name and path as shown in the following example:
     
     C:\dell\openmanage\netstart\mobilepkg\raid\raid0.zip
     
     
   • Package name — The imported package name. If you do not enter a name, Remote Install uses the default name stored in the package file.
     
     
   • Location — The location at which to store the package.
     
     
2. Click Import to import the package.

Expected Results

The browser indicates that it is busy as it waits for a response from the image server. If the import is successful, the imported package appears under RAID Configuration→ Properties→ List.

Possible Errors

• The package file is not accessible to the image server.
  
  
• The package file name already exists.
  
  
• There is not enough space in the storage to import the package.

Subsequent Operations

After you import a RAID package, you can apply it to target systems to update their RAID settings.
