Management module setting
This subsection describes backing up and restoring settings for management
modules.
Backing up
The backing up the management module settings is available from the
management module console. It takes about several minutes.
Note:
•
In the non-redundant management module configuration, back up the
management module and reposit it. When replacing the management
module, restoring the setting is not available if the backup file does not
exist.
• If settings are changed from the console or if power status of the server
blade changes while settings are being backed up, the backup may fail.
Perform backup operation in the state that those potential failures are
prevented.

supported at the backup are set as default.
