Reset Factory Defaults for SP and Oracle ILOM BIOS

Before You Begin

• Review the Requirements for BIOS Configuration Tasks

Follow these steps to reset the Oracle ILOM configuration and the host BIOS configuration to factory defaults from the Oracle ILOM CLI or web interface.

1. Power off the host operating system on the managed Oracle x86 server by performing one of the following:
   • From the web interface, click Host Management > Power Control > Power Cycle.
   • From the CLI, type: stop -force /System
2. Reset the parameters in BIOS non-volatile data store to factory defaults by performing one of the following:
   • From the web interface, click System Management > BIOS, then select Factory from the Reset Defaults To Factory list box, and click Save.
   • From the CLI, type: set /System/BIOS reset_to_defaults=factory

   ---

   Note – Wait until /System/BIOS reset_to_defaults changes from factory to none before proceeding with Step 3. The reset_to_default value reverts back to none after the factory defaults have been applied to the host BIOS non-volatile data store.

   ---

3. Reset the Oracle ILOM configuration to factory defaults by performing one of the following:
   • From the web interface, click ILOM Administration> Configuration Management > Reset Defaults, then select Factory from the Reset Defaults list box, and click Reset Defaults.
   • From the CLI, type: set /SP reset_to_default=factory
4. Power cycle the Oracle ILOM SP by performing one of the following:
   • From the web interface, click Host Management > Power Control > Reset.
   • From the CLI, type: reset /SP

   Oracle ILOM resets BIOS configuration parameters to factory defaults and returns None as the Sync Status state.

Oracle ZFS Storage Recover Root Account Password

If necessary, system administrators can recover the preconfigured Oracle ILOM local root account or the password for the local root account by using the preconfigured Oracle ILOM default password.

To recover the root account password you need a local serial management port (SER MGT) connection to Oracle ILOM. In addition, if the Physical Presence State is enabled (the default) in Oracle ILOM, you must prove that you are physically present at the server.

To recover the root account password, perform these steps:

1. Establish a local serial management connection to Oracle ILOM and log in to Oracle ILOM using the default user account.For example: SUNSP-000000000 login: defaultPress and release the physical presence button

   Press return when this is completed...

2. Prove physical presence at the server.To prove physical presence at the server, press the Locator button on the front of the server.For the exact location of the Locator button, see Front Panel With Four 3.5-inch Drives Configuration or Front Panel With Eight 2.5-inch Drives Configuration.
3. Return to your serial console and press Enter.You will be prompted for a password.
4. Type the password for the default user account: defaultpassword.
5. Reset the account password or re-create the root account.For more information, refer to the section on “Configuring Local User Accounts” in the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.1 Configuration and Maintenance Guide at http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?ctx=ilom31.
