Restore the Oracle ILOM Backup XML File
System administrators can perform a Restore operation to retrieve the XML file from a remote system, parse the contents, and update the SP with the backed-up configuration data. Upon initiating a Restore operation, all Oracle ILOM client sessions to the restoring server SP are momentarily suspended. The suspended sessions resume to normal after the Restore operation completes. A Restore operation typically takes two to three minutes to complete.
