Back Up the Current BIOS Firmware Configuration (Oracle ILOM)

Use Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) to prevent the loss of working BIOS settings by backing up the current BIOS configuration.

Before You Begin

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

• Ensure that you have Reset and Host Control (r) and Admin (a) role privileges in Oracle ILOM.

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

• To create a backup copy of the current BIOS configuration:
  • From the Web interface:
    1. Click System Management > BIOS.
    2. Select a Transfer Method for the Backup process.
    3. Click Start Backup.
  • From the CLI, type:

    set /SYSTEM/BIOS/Config/dump_uri=
    transfer_method://username:password@
    ipaddress_or_hostname/ directorypath/filename
