rx2660 iLO 2 configuration backup

I need to replace a rx2660 system board and so need to backup the iLO 2 MP configuration. Any suggestions?

Note down the values (IP and users) and put them into the new MP.

No other possibility.

e.g.

MP:CM> ls

MP:CM> uc

Maybe use this utility?

"The HP Integrity Non-Volatile RAM Configuration Backup Utility provides the capability to archive and restore critical system settings and EFI Boot Manager options on hp Integrity servers."

That's not bad, it saves at least all the boot entries - sorry, forgot about this.

Yeah, it would have saved me about 2 hours of figuring out what the old paths and settings were supposed to be at.

Live and learn...

Thanks for the reply's. I'm going to do the job on Monday. I have the NVRAM backup utility, was just wondering if there was an easy way of saving the iLO config. Clearly there is not.
Thanks
