Exporting your profile data

When a CBU is activated, more processors are activated in the system. When making any change to your activation profiles, it is recommended to export your profiles for safe keeping. You can save profile data to a USB flash memory drive or hard drive.

To export your profile data, follow these steps:

  1. Log onto the HMC in system programmer mode.
  2. Expand the nodes in the navigation pane and select the appropriate server.
  3. Expand the task list and select Single Object Operations (located in the Recovery task list) to open a Support Element session for the selected server.
  4. Make sure the correct server name is listed and selected, and click Yes.
  5. From the Support Element, expand the nodes in the navigation pane and select the server name.
  6. Expand the task list and select Export/Import Profile Data (located in the Operational Customization list). The Export/Import Profiles window opens:
    Export/Import Profiles
  7. Select where you want your profiles exported:
    • To hard drive
    • To USB flash memory drive.
  8. Click OK.
