Importing response files

Prerequisites​

  • Before importing a UEFI response file, ensure that the UEFI version for the target server and the source server is the same.

  • Before importing a BMC response file, ensure that the BMC version for the target server and the source server is the same.

  • Before importing a RAID response file, ensure that the target server and the source server have same RAID configuration.

  • Before importing an operating-system-installation response file, ensure that the target server and the source server have the same RAID adapter installed, and the capacity of the disk drive under the RAID adapter for the target server is greater than the partition size in the response file.

To import UEFI, RAID, BMC, or operating system installation settings saved in response files to your server, do the following:

  1. If the response file is stored on a USB storage drive, insert the USB storage drive into the server. If the response file is stored in a shared network folder, ensure that you have configured the network settings. For instructions on how to configure the network settings, refer to Configuring network settings.

  2. In the Import section, click the Browse. The Select File window is displayed.

  3. Select the corresponding response file. The selected file name is displayed in the File Name field.

  4. Click OK to return to the Cloning interface. The item you want to import will be selected automatically.

  5. If you are importing a UEFI, RAID, or BMC response file, click Import to start the importing process. Wait for several minutes until the importing process is completed.

    If you are importing an operating-system-installation response file, click Import, the Installation Summary page appears. The settings in the operating-system-installation response file are listed in this page. You can edit some settings according to your need. Then, click Next to start the operating system installation process. Wait until the installation is completed.
