Back Up the Current Configuration Before Upgrading
Save the current configuration to a remote site before upgrading the software. Refer to the Oracle Switch ES1-24 Configuration Guide for additional information.
You can also use the backup and restore feature from Oracle ILOM to save the current Oracle ILOM and SEFOS configurations to a remote server. You can then restore the switch configuration after upgrading the firmware. See Include the SEFOS Configuration in Backups.
Note - During the upgrade, if you answer yes to the question Preserve existing configuration (y/n)?, the Oracle ILOM and SEFOS configurations are automatically preserved. There is no need to explicitly restore the configuration.
