Restoring the iLO configuration after system board replacement

When you replace a system board, you can restore the configuration from the replaced system board.
Prerequisites
• Configure iLO Settings privilege
• Administer iLO User Accounts privilege
• An iLO backup file exists.
• The default iLO account credentials are available if you previously reset iLO to the factory default
settings.
• The iLO security state you want to use is configured.
When you configure the FIPS and SuiteB security states, iLO is reset to the factory default settings. If
you do not configure these security states before performing a restore, the restored information is
deleted when you update the security state.
Procedure
1. Replace the system board and transfer the hardware components from the old system board to the
new system board.
2. Power on the system and ensure that all components are working correctly.
3. Log in to iLO with the default user credentials for the new system board.
4. Restore the configuration from the backup file.
