Backup and Restore CHAPTER 7
This chapter describes the backup and the restore operations required for restoring server data.
7.1 Backing Up and Restoring Configuration Information
The PRIMEQUEST 2000 series has partitioning functions. These functions provide the user with partitions
acting as independent servers. The user must configure the UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) for
each partition. The user can make these settings with operations on the MMB. The MMB has BIOS
configuration information for each partition. It also has backup and restore functions for the configuration
information on the MMB.
Notes
- Configuration information on the server must be backed up ahead of time. The backup enables
restoration of the original information if the system becomes damaged or an operational error erases data
on the server. Be sure to periodically backup server configuration information in case of such events.
- The PRIMEQUEST 2000 series server cannot be connected to an FDD (floppy disk) for backup, restore,
or other such operations. To use an FDD, connect it to a remote PC or another server connected to the
PRIMEQUEST 2000 series server.
This section describes the backup and the restore operations for UEFI configuration information and MMB
configuration information.
For details on the backup and restore windows, see Chapter 1 MMB Web-UI (Web User Interface)
Operations in the PRIMEQUEST 2000 Series Tool Reference (C122-E110EN).
7.1.1 Backing up and restoring UEFI configuration information
Users can perform the following processes with the backup and restore functions for UEFI configuration
information:
- Backing up all items that are set in the UEFI window
- Backing up the specified UEFI configuration information in a UEFI window for one partition from the MMB.
This backup information can be applied to other partitions.
- Restoring backed-up UEFI configuration information during replacement of a faulty SB
- Restoring and copying the configuration information saved on a certain partition to another partition
A remote terminal can store the saved information. The data saved to the remote terminal can be restored.
In the [Backup BIOS Configuration] window of the MMB Web-UI, back up UEFI configuration information to
the PC running your browser. The procedure is as follows.
