5.3.2 Verifying system information backup or restore
To avoid the loss of non-default settings when replacing the system board, a
backup copy of important system configuration data is automatically stored
from the system board NVRAM to the Chassis ID EPROM. After replacing the
system board the backup data is restored from the Chassis ID board to the
new system board.
In order to verify whether the backup or restore process has been successful,
check the System Event Log (SEL) using the ServerView Operations Manager,
see
"Viewing and clearing the System Event Log (SEL)" on page 83 .
After replacing the system board
▶
Check the SEL log files to verify whether the backup data on the Chassis ID
EPROM has been restored to the system board, see
"Viewing and clearing
the System Event Log (SEL)" on page 83 .
Chassis IDPROM: Motherboard Exchange detected
Chassis IDPROM: BMC FW restore successful
Chassis IDPROM: BIOS restore successful
For replacing the system board, the BIOS has an automatic restore
function for the BIOS settings. If the BIOS settings could not be restored
after replacing the system board, you must manually change the
settings.
When the system board is replaced, the settings in the Security tab on
the BIOS setup menu are not automatically transferred, so you must
manually restore the BIOS settings.
The settings related to Security block all data writing in order to prevent
data tampering from external sources such as applications. Restoring
BIOS settings is also blocked according to this specification.
After replacing the front panel or Chassis ID EPROM
▶
Check the SEL log files to verify whether a backup copy of the system board
settings has been transferred to the Chassis ID EPROM, see
"Viewing and
clearing the System Event Log (SEL)" on page 83 .
