Sync the Host BIOS Firmware Configuration (Oracle ILOM)

If the BIOS configuration settings in the host data store become out-of-sync with the settings stored by Oracle ILOM, it might be necessary to manually sync the host settings with Oracle ILOM.

To use Oracle ILOM to identify the BIOS sync status or to manually sync the host BIOS settings, follow these instructions:

Before You Begin

• Log in to Oracle ILOM. For instructions see Launch and Log In to Oracle ILOM.

• Ensure that you have Admin (a) role privileges in Oracle ILOM.

This procedure provides web and command-line interface (CLI) instructions for the server service processor (SP).

• To identify the sync status or to manually sync the host BIOS configuration with Oracle ILOM:
  • From the Web interface:
    1. Click System Management > BIOS.
    2. Perform one or both of the steps below:

       • To view the current sync status, locate the Configuration Sync Status field at the top of the page.

       • To sync the host BIOS settings with Oracle ILOM, power cycle the host system by clicking Host Management > Power Control > Power Cycle.

  • From the CLI:

    • To view the current sync status, type:

      show /System/BIOS/Config

    • To manually sync the host BIOS settings with Oracle ILOM, type:

      reset /System
