Importing a CIMC Configuration

Important If any firmware or BIOS updates are in progress, do not import the CIMC configuration until those tasks are complete.

Before You Begin

If you want to restore the SNMP configuration information when you import the configuration file, make sure that SNMP is disabled on this server before you do the import. If SNMP is enabled when you perform the import, CIMC does not overwrite the current values with those saved in the configuration file.
