Restoring an advanced management-module configuration

You can restore a saved configuration for an advanced management module.

1. Log in to the management module for which you want to restore the configuration. For more information, see Starting the management-module web interface.
2. In the navigation pane, click MM Control → Configuration Mgmt.
3. Select the type of restoration that you want to perform: Restore Defaults, Restore Configuration from File, or Restore Configuration from Chassis.
   1. To restore the default configuration, click one of the following options:
      • Restore Defaults: Restore the management module to factory settings
      • Restore Defaults Preserve Logs: Restore the management module to factory settings while retaining the content of the management-module event log.
      A progress indicator is displayed as the firmware on the management module is updated. A confirmation window opens to indicate whether the update was successful.
   2. If you are restoring the configuration from a file, click Browse in the Restore Configuration from File section and complete the following steps.
      Note: If the configuration file was saved from a BladeCenter unit where data encryption was enabled, you must enter the same password that was used to save the file.
      1. Click the configuration file that you want; then, click Open. The file (including the full path) is displayed in the field next to Browse.
      2. To make changes to the configuration file before you restore it, click Modify and Restore to open an editable configuration summary window. Initially, only the fields that can be changed are displayed. To change between this view and the complete configuration summary view, click Toggle View at the top or bottom of the window.
      3. To restore this file to the management module, click Restore Configuration. A progress indicator displays as the management module updates. A confirmation window opens to indicate whether the update was successful.
         Note: The security settings on the Security page are not restored with the restore operation. To modify security settings, see Secure web server and secure LDAP.

         A progress indicator displays as the firmware on the management module is updated. A confirmation window opens to indicate whether the update was successful.

   3. To restore the configuration from the BladeCenter unit, click Restore; then, click OK. A progress indicator displays as the management module updates. A confirmation window opens to indicate whether the update was successful.
