7.0 Profiles
Profiles is a features of ScCMP to read (capture) a ScaleCore device configuration into the ScCMP for temporary
or permanent storage, and write a ScaleCore device configuration back into a device. With this feature a complete
system configuration can be backed up to a computer. If a device is ever replaced or the configuration is lost, the
Profiles feature allows the exact configuration to be restored quickly. Additionally, device configurations can be
compared for equality in cases where configurations need to be checked for changes.
Figure 7-1. Profiles Interface
The Profiles view is part of the ScaleCore device configuration backup and restore function. This view shows a list
of captured device configurations on the left. On the right is a view of the captured device configuration provided
in a view similar to the Advanced device view.
7.1 Capture
The Capture Device Profile function copies the recorded device configuration of the active device into backup
database within ScCMP. The Active Device is the ScaleCore product that ScCMP is currently in communications
with.
7.2 Restore
The Restore Device Profile function is used to write a captured device profile from ScCMP backup database to the
Active Device or target ScaleCore product.
Important
Firmware upgrades may require ScCMP application upgrades as well. Contact MSI for details before
performing upgrades on mission critical devices.
This function permanently over writes the configuration in the target ScaleCore product.
7.3 Export Device
The Export Device to File function directly writes the active device configuration to a file on the computer. This is
a convenience function that skips the step of capturing the active device to a profile, and then exporting it to a file.
