Hi,
I am trying to export, and then import Bios profile from UCS 240 to UCS 240.
I created Hardware Bios policy, but can't directly apply it to the other server due to me not having advanced license.
No worries - There is export button, which gives you option to copy either XML or Encoded XML settings via copy\paste.
Fine, I copied, and tried to upload to UCS - file must be smaller than 10KB (What a bright idea!). Ok, so there is an option to upload it via FTP - that finally worked, but I get "validation failed - unable to parse the BIOS token profile".
This is like a THE WORST BIOS import mechanism in the history of all import mechanisms.
Solved! Go to Solution.

This link lead to UPGRADE BIOS, not UPLOAD Bios profile.
No matter - it was INSTALL command. And it is not working - I get Validation failed error anyway.

And this is what I did :)
So far they don't seems to be able to grasp what the problem is (I will spare you the details), but I suppose that it is either a bug, or some mistake in my "methodology" :)

Hi,
Just for reference Cisco resolving teams were able to help me to find solution.
1. You CAN'T Export profile from IMC Supervisor and import it to CIMC. It will not work like that.
2. Quick, and efficient guide how to do it is here https://communities.cisco.com/docs/DOC-75985.
