      For instructions, see Accessing Oracle ILOM.

   2. In the navigation pane, click ILOM Administration > Configuration Management.
   3. Select Restore in the Operation drop-down list.

      Note -  With Oracle ILOM 3.2.6 or newer, if you included fault data in the 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.

      ---

   7. Click Run.

      ---

      Note -  While the Restore operation is taking place, Oracle ILOM sessions are suspended. The sessions resume after the Restore operation is complete.

2. To restore a saved 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=passphrase include_faultdata=[true|false] load_uri=transfer_method://username:password@host/filepath

      Where:

      • passphrase is the passphrase you specified when you exported the XML file. If you did not specify a passphrase, do not set the passphrase property.

      • include_faultdata=true includes fault data in the restore, if fault data was included in the backup. This selection requires a passphrase and is available with Oracle ILOM 3.2.6 or newer.

        ---

        Note -  The fault data backup and restore is reserved for Oracle service personnel when they replace the SP.

        ---

      • 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 is saved.

      • host is the IP address or hostname of the system where the backup file is 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.
