How To Export or Import Service Profiles

You can clone a service profile to different UCS domains for use in additional provisioning operations.

On import, specify the service profiles to import and whether to update the profiles during the import process.

On export, specify the service profiles to export, whether to update any during the transfer process, and the target UCS domains.

Example: Export a Service Profile to a New Domain

You have a multiple UCS domain configuration in which individual UCS systems are configured with shared storage. Select a UCS system and service profile. Then, associate the profile to a blade to which an application image is provisioned and begins to run.

Later, you want to transfer the application workload to another UCS domain within the shared storage environment.

Suspend the application, disassociate the service profile from its blade, and export the service profile from the source UCS system to the target UCS system. In the new system, the service profile is associated with another blade, and the application is resumed on the target system.
