Importing service data for devices

You can import a service-data archive for a specific device. The archive can be retrieved from a Lenovo XClarity Administrator resource manager or directly from the baseboard management controller.

About this task

You can import up to 10 files at a time with combined total of 2GB or less.

If you import service data for the save device multiple times, the inventory data is overwritten by the service data that was imported last.

Procedure

To import a service-data archive, complete the following steps.

  1. From the XClarity Orchestrator menu bar, click the Administration (Administration icon) > Service and Support, and then click Service Data in the left navigation to display the Device Service Data card.
  2. Click the Import icon (Import icon) to import service-data archives.
  3. Drag and drop one or more service-data archives (in .tar.gz, tzz, or tgz format) to the Import dialog, or click Browse to locate the archive.
  4. Optional: Select Add the server in the service data to the inventory for review only if the archive is for a device that is not currently managed by XClarity Orchestrator (see Managing devices offline).
  5. Click Import to import and parse the archive and optionally manage the offline device.

    A job is created to perform this operation. You can monitor the progress of the job from the Monitoring (Monitoring icon) > Jobs card. If the job did not complete successfully, click the job link to display details about the job (see Monitoring jobs.)
