Oracle SuperCluster Configuration Backup Utility - Recovery Guide

Restore an Oracle ILOM Configuration

Before starting the restore process, Oracle ILOM (on the SP) must be reachable over the management network. The Oracle ILOM configuration is restored using the XML file that was created during the backup and stored in the osc-config-backup/service-processors/SP-hostname/SP-hostname.date.xml file.

For additional information about the Oracle ILOM restore process, refer to the Oracle ILOM Administrator's Guide for Configuration and Maintenance at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37444_01. The restore process is covered in Backing Up, Restoring, or Resetting the Oracle ILOM Configuration.

1. Connect to Oracle ILOM and navigate to the config target.

   $ ssh root@SP_hostname
   Oracle(R) Integrated Lights Out Manager  
   Version 3.2.4.1 r93935  
   Copyright (c) 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.    
   Hostname: SP-hostname 
   
   -> cd /SP/config

2. Copy the XML file to a directory that is accessible by root.

   Connect to any domain as root and execute these commands.

    root# mkdir /sharedPath ; chmod 777 /sharedPath
     root# su - oscbackR
     oscbackR$ cd osc-config-backup/service-processors/SP_hostname
     oscbackR$ cp SP-hostname.date.xml /sharedPath

3. Initiate the restore from the /SP/config target location.

   Using these examples, replace source_IPAddress with the IP address of the domain where the XML file has been copied to /sharedPath.

   Replace directory_path with sharedPath. Replace password with the root password.

   -> set load_uri=sftp://root:password@source_IPAddress/directory_path/SP-hostname.date.xml
   Passphrase has not been entered. Sensitive data will not be restored.
   Continue ? y
   Load successful. 

   If using the ZFS storage appliance for the source, directory_path is /export/osc-config-backup/oscbackup/service-processors/SP_hostname.

   Ensure that SFTP is enabled on the ZFS storage appliance and that root SFTP is permitted. Set this through the BUI by selecting SFTP in the Configuration tab.

   On the ZFS storage appliance, the SFTP server listens on port 218. This port is not the default SFTP port, and it must be specified in load_ur.

   -> set load_uri=sftp://root:password@ZFSSA_IPAddress:218/export/osc-config-backup/backup/service_processors/SP-hostname/SP-hostname.date.xml
   Passphrase has not been entered. Sensitive data will not be restored.
   Continue ? y
   Load successful.
