Back Up the Current Oracle ILOM Firmware Configuration (Oracle ILOM)

Language:

To back up the current Oracle ILOM configuration in the Oracle ILOM web interface, perform the following steps:
1. Log in to the Oracle ILOM web interface.
  For instructions, see Accessing Oracle ILOM.
2. In the navigation pane, click ILOM Administration > Configuration Management.
3. Select Backup in the Operation drop-down list.
4. In the Transfer Method drop-down list, select a transfer method.
5. Specify the destination of the exported configuration.
6. If you want to include sensitive information in the backup file, specify and confirm a Passphrase to encrypt the sensitive data.
  If you specify a Passphrase, the Passphrase is required to restore the backed up configuration.
  
  If you do not specify a Passphrase, sensitive data will not be included in the backup file.
  
  Note - Oracle ILOM 3.2.6 or newer provides a selection to include fault data in the backup. It is reserved for Oracle service personnel when they replace the SP. It requires a passphrase.
7. Click Run.
To back up the current Oracle ILOM configuration in the Oracle ILOM command-line interface (CLI), perform the following steps:
1. Log in to the Oracle ILOM CLI.
  For instructions, see Accessing Oracle ILOM.
2. Use the set command:
  set /SP/config passphrase=passphraseinclude_faultdata=[true|false] dump_uri= transfer_method://username:password@host/filepath
  
  Where:
  - passphrase is a passphrase used to encrypt sensitive data in the backup file. If you specify a passphrase, the passphrase is required to restore the backed up configuration. If you do not specify a passphrase, sensitive data is not included in the backup file.
  - include_faultdata=true includes fault data in the backup. The default is false.
    
    Note - The fault data backup and restore is reserved for Oracle service personnel when they replace the SP. It is available with Oracle ILOM 3.2.6 or newer.
  - transfer_method is one of the following protocols: tftp, ftp, sftp, scp, http, or https.
  - username and password are your credentials on the remote system where the backup file will be saved.
  - host is the IP address or hostname of the system where the backup file will be saved.
  - filepath is the relative path to the backup file.
  Note - If you transfer the backup file using TFTP, you do not need to provide a username or password.
