Symptoms

When a Special Character like # is used in URI/URL while performing ILOM backup from the CLI, backup fails with below messages “set: Unable to transfer file, please check URI/password”

Below is the example,

-> set /SP/config dump_uri=transfer_method:// username:password@ipaddress_or_hostname/ directorypath/filename
set: Unable to transfer file, please check URI/password

 

When backup is tried with the same password, but not giving in the URI/URL “Dump successful.”

Enter remote user password: ****************
Dump successful.
