Back Up Current Oracle ILOM Configuration (Oracle ILOM)

1. Ensure that you have the privileges associated with the following roles in Oracle ILOM: Admin (a), User Management (u), Console (c), and Reset and Host Control (r).
2. To back up the current Oracle ILOM configuration in the Oracle ILOM web interface:
   1. Log in to the Oracle ILOM web interface.
   2. In the navigation pane, click ILOM Administration → Configuration Management.
   3. In the Operation list, select Backup.
   4. In the Transfer Method list, select a transfer method.
   5. Specify the destination of the exported configuration.
   6. If you want to include sensitive information in the backup file, specify and confirm a Passphrase to encrypt the sensitive data.

      If you specify a Passphrase, the Passphrase is required to restore the backed up configuration.

      If you do not specify a Passphrase, sensitive data is not included in the backup file.

      Note:

      Oracle ILOM 3.2.6 or newer provides a selection to include fault data in the backup. It is reserved for Oracle Service personnel when they replace the SP. It requires a passphrase.
   7. Click Run.
3. To back up the current Oracle ILOM configuration in the Oracle ILOM command-line interface (CLI):
   1. Log in to the Oracle ILOM CLI.
   2. Type the set command:

      -> set /SP/config passphrase=passphrase include_faultdata=[true|false] dump_uri= transfer_method://username:password@host/filepath

      Where:

      • passphrase is a passphrase used to encrypt sensitive data in the backup file. If you specify a passphrase, the passphrase is required to restore the backed up configuration. If you do not specify a passphrase, sensitive data is not included in the backup file.

      • include_faultdata=true includes fault data in the backup. The default is false.

        Note:

        The fault data backup and restore is reserved for Oracle Service personnel when they replace the SP. It is available with Oracle ILOM 3.2.6 or newer.

      • transfer_method is one of the following protocols: tftp, ftp, sftp, scp, http, or https.

      • username and password are your credentials on the remote system where the backup file will be saved.

      • host is the IP address or hostname of the system where the backup file will be saved.

      • filepath is the relative path to the backup file.

      Note:

      If you transfer the backup file using TFTP, you do not need to provide a username or password.
