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:
Restores from an ILOM backup XML file.
Modifies the XML file using convenience sub-commands.
Sets the network, including DHCP and sideband.
Lists and configures identification information, including hostname, contact, location, and description.
Lists and configures DNS.
Lists and configures clock including time zone.
Lists and configures user management.
Lists and configures SNMP community.
You can use an XML file to perform either one of the following functions:
Create a new XML file for functions that have an ilomconfig command.
Modify an existing XML file that was generated by ILOM; however, some parts of the XML file cannot be restored.
The ilomconfig subcommands can modify already existing settings in the XML file or create new settings.
The list commands, with the XML-file argument, can be used to view the contents of the XML file.
Note - If the XML-file option is specified, the commands operate on that XML file. If the XML file option is omitted, the changes are made directly to the ILOM.
The following ILOM settings cannot be restored from an XML file or specified using commands:
SSH private keys
User SSH keys
SSL cert
COD license
LDAP and AD certs
Platform binary data (currently limited to SPARC LDOMS config)
In addition, the following settings cannot be restored from an XML file if they are encrypted. However, unencrypted values in the XML file can be generated for some of these settings by the ilomconfig tool, or the XML file can be edited by hand and then restored:
User passwords
SNMP users
LDAP/LDAPSSL/RADIUS passwords
Servicetag passphrase
