ILOM Configurations Are Preserved During Upgrade Even After Specifying “No” (6971164)

This issue is fixed in system software release 1.3.

When performing a firmware upgrade of ILOM, you are given the choice of preserving the configuration information for the current ILOM version before it is upgraded. This includes information configured by the user (account information, network configurations, management settings, etc.). This information is stored in the SP and will be used if you ever decide to go back to the previous version of ILOM.

For example:

-> load -source tftp://serverfolder/ILOM-version-Sun_Blade_X6275M2.pkg

Are you sure you want to load the specified file (y/n)? y
Preserve existing configuration (y/n)? y

Typically, you would opt to preserve existing configurations in case you need to roll back to the previous version of ILOM after an upgrade. However, if you choose to not preserve ILOM configurations during the upgrade and answer no to the prompt to Preserve existing configuration (y/n)?, the configurations might be saved anyway.

This action is harmless and can occur intermittently.

Workaround

Try performing the upgrade again, answering no to the prompt to Preserve existing configuration (y/n)? during an upgrade.
