ilomconfig can restore configuration (with some limitations) from an XML file and allows parameters to be specified using the command line. ilomconfig can modify an XML file that has been generated from the ILOM backup feature; however, ilomconfig cannot generate a backup ILOM configuration file. Use the create or modify subcommand to create or modify XML files.

You must be in root permission level to run ilomconfig commands on Unix-based platforms, or Administrator permission level for Windows platforms.

In summary, ilomconfig can perform the following functions:
