Restore the Backed Up Oracle ILOM Configuration or Reset the Configuration to Factory Defaults (Oracle ILOM)

Language:

When changes to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) firmware configuration no longer work, use Oracle ILOM to restore the service processor (SP) or chassis monitoring module (CMM) configuration with either: 1) settings saved in a backup configuration file, or 2) default settings shipped from the factory.

Before You Begin

Log in to Oracle ILOM. For instructions see Launch and Log In to Oracle ILOM.
Ensure that you have the privileges associated with the following roles in Oracle ILOM: Admin (a), User Management (u), Console (c), and Reset and Host Control (r).

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

To restore the Oracle ILOM configuration with settings from a backup configuration file or with settings shipped from the factory:
- From the Web interface:
  1. Click ILOM Administration > Configuration Management.
  2. Perform one of the steps below:
    - To reset the SP or CMM configuration to factory default settings, click the Reset Defaults tab. In the Reset Defaults page, select Factory, and then click Reset Defaults.
    - To restore a backed up SP or CMM configuration file, do the following:
      
      i) Click the Backup/Restore tab.
      
      ii) Select the Restore operation.
      
      iii) Specify a Transfer Method, and then specify any required file paths or host information.
      
      iv) If the backup configuration file was encrypted, specify the passphrase used to encrypt the file.
      
      Note - With Oracle ILOM 3.2.6 or newer, if you included fault data in a backup, you can select Include Fault Data to restore it. This selection is reserved for Oracle service personnel when they replace the SP. It requires a passphrase.
      
      v) Click Run to start the restore process.
      
      Note - While the Restore operation is taking place, client sessions to the Oracle ILOM SP or CMM are suspended. The sessions resume after the Restore operation is complete.
- From the CLI, perform one of the following:
  - To reset the SP or CMM configuration to factory defaults, type:
    
    set /[SP|CMM] reset_to_defaults=factory
  - To restore the SP or CMM configuration to the last backed up configuration, do the following:
    
    i) Navigate to the SP or CMM config target. For example: cd /[SP|CMM]/config
    
    ii) If required, set a value for the passphrase. For example: set passphrase=value
    
    iii) On systems with Oracle ILOM 3.2.6 or newer, to include backed up fault data in the restore, type:
    
    set include_faultdata=true
    
    Note - The fault data backup and restore is reserved for Oracle service personnel when they replace the SP.
    
    iv) To initiate the restore operation, type:
```
set load_uri=transfer_method://username:password
@ipaddress_or_hostname/directorypath/filename
```
