Hi Experts,
I tried Backup-Ucs command with Powertool 9.6.0 and got backup file successfully.
but there seems to be no cmdlet to execute restoreing (importing) the file back into UCS Manager.
Do anyone know how to import it by Powertool?
Regards,
Hiroshi
Hi Hiroshi,
There are several cmdlets to manage import of an XML backup that was taken from the UCS Manager and the import process, the several I have listed below are from the 0.9.7.0 release.
PS C:\> get-command -Module CiscoUCSPS | select-string import
Add-UcsMgmtImporter
Get-UcsMgmtImporter
Import-UcsBackup
Import-UcsXml
Remove-UcsMgmtImporter
Set-UcsMgmtImporter
The backup that results fro Backup-Ucs with the option "full-state" is not an XML file, it is a binary dump of the UCS Manager database and cannot be imported, only restored. The restore backup capability is only available from the commandline. You would be presented with the setup/restore option when there is no existing configuration on the UCS.
There maybe a way to force the initial setup process on a UCS with an existing configuration, but I an not familiar with it.
Regards,
John
