BIOS
|
The BIOS on an Oracle x86
server is the boot firmware program that controls the system from
the time the host server powers on to when the operating system
takes over. The BIOS stores the system's date, time, and configuration
information in a battery-powered, non-volatile data store.
|
|
BIOS version
|
A read-only property indicating
the current BIOS firmware version installed on an Oracle x86 server.
|
|
BIOS non-volatile data store
|
The Oracle x86 server BIOS
configuration parameters that are currently stored on the non-volatile
memory chip.
|
|
Oracle ILOM BIOS configuration file
|
A dynamically maintained
XML file on the server SP that contains a list of the BIOS configuration
parameters that were last retrieved from the BIOS non-volatile data
store.
|
|
Backup BIOS configuration
|
The configurable properties
in Oracle ILOM that enable you to retrieve a copy of the parameters
currently set in the BIOS non-volatile data store and save them
to the Oracle ILOM BIOS Configuration file on the server SP.
|
|
Restore BIOS configuration
|
Configurable properties
in Oracle ILOM that enable you to export the parameters in the Oracle
ILOM BIOS Configuration file to the BIOS non-volatile data store.
|
|
BIOS configuration parameters

Typically the BIOS configuration parameters
that are copied or exported by Oracle ILOM include the values for:
