It is recommended
that you use a full state backup file to restore a system that is running the
same version as the system from which the backup file was exported. You can
also use a full state backup to restore a system if they have the same release
train. For example, you can use a full state backup taken from a system running
Release 2.1(3a) to restore a system running Release 2.1(3f).
To avoid issues
with VSAN or VLAN configuration, a backup should be restored on the fabric
interconnect that was the primary fabric interconnect at the time of backup.
Beginning with release 4.2(3d), Cisco UCS Manager introduces Password Decryption Key to enhance security for backup configuration files.
Password Decryption Key should be same as mentioned in Password Encryption Key while creating the backup configuration file. Same key is set as Password Encryption Key after successful restore.
Note
|
For release 4.2(3d) and later, you can perform this procedure only with a backup configuration file created from release 4.2(3d) or later.
