restore command

Use the restore command to restore the settings that are already saved in the file for the current server.

Note

  • To restore the saved settings, use the save command to save the configuration in the file containing <setting>=<value>.

  • For SE350 V2/SE360 V2, to restore the SED AK whose SED key is not installed, use the passphrase or backup file.

  • To restore the configuration settings by using the backup file, the file should be an encrypted file saved with the backup command, the --redfish and --passphrase parameters.

  • Users can use the saved file got in the save command. If users create the file and specify with the --file option, follow the file format. For more information, refer to save command.

  • There may be a long list of settings in the outputs of restore command. Therefore, OneCLI puts the results including all saved settings in a file and shows the summary in the command shell.
