Restoring profile data

Explains how to read the profile data from the previously backed-up file on the HMC and load this data to the managed system.

Selecting this menu item restores profile data to the HMC from a backup file stored on the HMC hard drive.

Note: This is not a concurrent procedure. When the data is restored, the managed system powers on to Partition Standby. For more information about power-on modes, see Managed system power-on modes.

To restore stored profile data on the HMC hard drive, you must be a member of one of the following roles:

super administrator
service representative

To restore profile data, do the following:

In the Contents area, select the managed system.
From the menu, select Selected > Profile Data > Restore.
Select the profile information that you want to restore from the list of backup files.
Select a restore option.
Click OK.
