Back Up the Oracle ILOM Configuration
Settings
System administrators can save a backup copy
of the Oracle ILOM configuration file that is actively running on
the server SP or CMM. Upon initiating a Backup operation, all Oracle
ILOM client sessions to the SP or the CMM are momentarily suspended.
The suspended sessions resume to normal after the Backup operation
is complete. A Backup operation typically takes two to three minutes
to complete.
The following Oracle ILOM configuration backup procedure provides
both web and CLI instructions for the SP and the CMM.
- To
back up the Oracle ILOM configuration to an XML file, perform the following
steps for one of the Oracle ILOM user interfaces listed.
|
|
Web |
Click ILOM Administration > Configuration Management
> Backup/Restore. Click Backup in the Operations box. -
(Optional) Select the Include Fault Data check box. When selected, the
backup operation will include all fault data incidents in the backup copy
of the xml configuration file.
The Include Fault Data check box is available for configuration as of
Oracle ILOM firmware 3.2.6.
Note – A passphrase must be
provided to back up fault data for all incidents. For further details
about entering a passphrase, see Step 5 below.
Click the Transfer Method box to specify a method
for transferring the Oracle ILOM configuration file.
For property descriptions of each file transfer method, see Figure 14, Table 14, File Transfer Methods . To encrypt the backup configuration file, type a
passphrase in the Passphrase text box, and then retype the passphrase
in the Confirm Passphrase text box. The backup file is encrypted
using the passphrase specified.
Note – To back
up sensitive data such as passwords, SSH keys, certificates, LDoms and
so forth, you must specify a passphrase. The passphrase length must
be a minimum of 16 characters. Click Run to initiate the Backup operation.
When the Backup operation is executing, client sessions to
the Oracle ILOM SP or the CMM are momentarily suspended. The sessions
will resume to normal after the Backup operation is complete. |
CLI |
Navigate
to the config CLI target, for example:
cd /SP/config
cd /CMM/config -
(Optional) To include fault data for all incidents in the backup
operation, set the property value for include_faultdata
to true. For instance:
set include_faultdata=true
The include_faultdata property is available for
configuration as of Oracle ILOM firmware version 3.2.6.
Note – A passphrase must be
provided to back up fault data in the xml configuration file. For further
details about entering a passphrase, see Step 3 below.
To encrypt the backup configuration file, set the
a value for the passphrase property, for example:
set passphrase=value
The backup file is encrypted using the passphrase specified.
Note – To back
up sensitive data such as passwords, SSH keys, certificates, LDoms and
so forth, you must specify a passphrase.The passphrase length must
be a minimum of 16 characters. To initiate the Backup operation, type the following
command from within the /SP/config or /CMM/config directory.
For example:
set dump_uri=transfer_method://username:password@ipaddress_or_hostname/directorypath/filename
Where the transfer method can be:tftp,
ftp, sftp, scp, http, or https
For property descriptions of each file transfer method, see Figure 14, Table 14, File Transfer Methods .
For example:
set dump_uri=scp://adminuser:userpswd@1.2.3.4/Backup/Lab9/SP123.config
When the Backup operation is executing, client sessions to
the Oracle ILOM SP or the CMM are momentarily suspended. The sessions
will resume to normal after the Backup operation is complete.
