Oracle ILOM: BIOS Configuration Features

Oracle ILOM provides a set of configurable properties that help you to manage the BIOS configuration parameters on an Oracle ILOM managed x86 server. These configurable Oracle ILOM properties enable you to:

  • Back up a copy of the configuration parameters in the BIOS non-volatile data store.
  • Restore a copy of the backed-up configuration parameters to the BIOS non-volatile data store.
  • Reset the parameters in the BIOS non-volatile data store to factory defaults.

In addition, Oracle ILOM dynamically monitors the parameters in the BIOS non-volatile data store to ensure that they are in sync with the parameters in the Oracle ILOM BIOS Configuration file. A configuration sync status, appearing in the CLI and web interface, indicates the current state of the BIOS parameters stored in the Oracle ILOM BIOS Configuration file.

Note:

For advanced users who need to provision the BIOS configuration to another Oracle x86 server, see Optionally Edit the Oracle ILOM Backup XML Configuration File .
