Dump Full Console History Contents to Remote Location

As of Oracle ILOM firmware version 4.0.2, system administrators can use the dump command to transfer the logged history contents of a host serial console session to a specified remote location, such as a remote host or a URI repository. For further instructions, follow these steps:

Note:

The Dump Console History feature is not supported on multi-domain platforms, such as the SPARC M-Series servers.
  1. Perform one of the following:
    • Dump Full Console History to a Remote Host:

      In the Oracle ILOM CLI, type:

      set /HOST/console dump_uri=sftp://ilom:changeme@169.254.182.7/tmp/consfile_1031

      For example:

      set /HOST/console dump_uri=file_transfer_method://user_name:password@IP_address/file_path/filename

    • Dump Full Console History to a Remote URI Repository:

      In the Oracle ILOM CLI , type:

      dump /HOST/console -destination file_transfer_method://username:password@IP_address/file_path/filename

      For example:

      dump /HOST/console -destination sftp://ilom:changeme@169.254.182.7/tmp/consfile_1031

    For further information about using the /Host/console dump command, type: help /host/console dump

    Note:

    Supported file_transfers_methods include: tftp, ftp, sftp, http, or https
  2. Upon the successful completion of the /Host/console dump operation, the message Dump Successful appears. If the dump operation fails, an error message appears identifying the cause for the error.
