Before You Begin

Review the following information before you view or configure ILOM network settings.


Network Environment

Before You Begin

IPv4-only

  • To configure network settings, you need the Admin (a) role enabled.
  • Prior to configuring ILOM communication settings, ensure that the same IP address is always assigned to ILOM by either assigning a static IP address to ILOM after initial setup, or by configuring your DHCP server to always assign the same IP address to ILOM. This enables ILOM to be easily located on the network. By default, ILOM will attempt to obtain network settings using DHCP.

Dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6

  • To configure or test network settings, you need the Admin (a) role enabled.
  • Verify that your server or CMM has ILOM firmware 3.0.12 or later installed.
  • Verify that support for the IPv6 configuration options in either your platform ILOM Supplement guide or platform Administration guide.
  • Review the IPv6 enhancements identified in Chapter 2 of the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Concepts Guide (820-6410).

 

  • ILOM supports a dual-mode TCP/IP stack and is shipped from the factory with both the IPv4 and IPv6 states enabled by default. If necessary, you can optionally disable the IPv6 network state. However, the IPv4 network state must always be enabled in order for ILOM to operate in an IPv4 network environment or in a dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 network environment.
  • ILOM supports static and DHCP network settings for both IPv4 and IPv6 network environments.
  • For IPv6 Stateless auto-configurations, ILOM (3.0.12 or later) requires a network router to be configured for IPv6.
  • For DHCPv6 auto-configuration options, ILOM (3.0.14 or later) requires a network DHCPv6 server to provide the IPv6 address(es) and DNS information for the device.

Note - DHCP and DHCPv6 are separate protocols. In a dual-stack network environment, DHCP and DHCPv6 operate as follows: (1) the DHCPv6 server can provide IPv6 addresses to a network node and the network node always uses the IPv6 protocol to communicate with a DHCPv6 server; and (2) the DHCP server can provide IPv4 addresses to a network node and the network node will always use the IPv4 protocol to communicate with a DHCP server

  • For DHCP and DHCPv6 auto-configurations, you should choose to receive the DNS information from either an IPv6 DHCP server or from an IPv4 DHCP server, but not from both.
    You can manually configure the settings for the DNS Name Server in ILOM under the Network DNS target. For instructions on specifying DNS information, see View and Configure DNS Settings.

Other network settings described in this section

  • You need to have the Admin (a) role enabled to modify any server SP or CMM network properties or options.


procedure icon  View and Configure IPv4 Network Settings



Note - This procedure provides instructions for configuring ILOM to operate in an IPv4-only network environment, as is supported in ILOM 3.0.10 and earlier versions of ILOM. If you are configuring ILOM to operate in an dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 network environment, see View and Configure Dual-Stack IPv4 and IPv6 Network Settings.


1. Log in to the ILOM SP CLI or the CMM CLI.

2. At the command prompt, type:

--> show /SP/network

3. Use the set command and type all of the settings that you wish to change.

You can execute these commands within a combined command. See Execute Combined Commands.



Note - Change a complete set of properties and commit to true only when the pending values are all typed into the command.




Note - Settings take effect as soon you set commitpending=true. Configuring network settings might disconnect your active session if you are connected to ILOM over a network. Configure all your systems before you commit the changes. After you commit the changes you will have to reconnect to ILOM.


Example

To change multiple network settings from DHCP to static assigned settings, type:

-> set /SP/network pendingipdiscovery=static pendingipaddress=nnn.nn.nn.nn pendingipgateway=nnn.nn.nn.nn pendingipnetmask=nnn.nn.nn.nn commitpending=true

set pendingipdiscovery=static

set commitpending=true




Note - If you connected to ILOM through a remote SSH connection, the connection made to ILOM using the former IP address will timeout. Use the newly assigned settings to connect to ILOM.



procedure icon  View and Configure Dual-Stack IPv4 and IPv6 Network Settings



Note - This procedure provides instructions for configuring ILOM to operate in a dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 network environment. If you are configuring ILOM to operate in an IPv4-only network environment, as is supported in ILOM 3.0.10 and earlier versions of ILOM, see View and Configure IPv4 Network Settings.


1. Log in to the ILOM SP CLI or the CMM CLI.

Establish a local serial console connection or SSH connection to the server SP or CMM.

2. Perform the network configuration instructions that apply to your network environment:

3. For IPv4 network configurations, use the cd command to navigate to the /x/network working directory for the device.

For example:

4. Type the show command to view the configured IPv4 network settings configured on the device.

5. To set IPv4 network settings for DHCP or static, perform one of the following:

6. For IPv6 network configurations, use the cd command to navigate to the /x/network/ipv6 working directory for the device.

For example:

7. Type the show command to view the configured IPv6 network settings configured on the device.

For example, see the following sample output values for the IPv6 properties on a server SP device.


-> show
 
 /SP/network/ipv6
    Targets:
 
    Properties:
        state = enabled
        autoconfig = stateless
        dhcpv6_server_duid = (none)
        link_local_ipaddress = fe80::214:4fff:feca:5f7e/64
        static_ipaddress = ::/128
        ipgateway = fe80::211:5dff:febe:5000/128
        pending_static_ipaddress = ::/128
        dynamic_ipaddress_1 = fec0:a:8:b7:214:4fff:feca:5f7e/64
 
    Commands:
        cd
        show
 



Note - When the autoconfig= property is set to dhcpv6_stateful or dhcpv6_stateless, the read-only property for dhcpv6_server_duid will identify the DHCP Unique ID of the DHCPv6 server that was last used by ILOM to retrieve the DHCP information.




Note - The default IPv6 autoconfig property value provided in ILOM 3.0.14 (and later) is autoconfig=stateless. However, if you have ILOM 3.0.12 installed on your CMM or server, the default property value for autoconfig appears as autoconfig=stateless_only.


8. To configure an IPv6 auto-configuration option, use the set command to specify the following auto-configuration property values.


Property

Set Property Value

Description

state

set state=enabled

The IPv6 network state is enabled by default. To enable an IPv6 auto-configuration option this state must be set to enabled.

autoconfig

set autoconfig=<value>

Specify this command followed by the autoconf value you want to set.

Options include:

  • stateless (default setting provided in ILOM 3.0.14 or later)
    or
    stateless_only (default setting provided in ILOM 3.0.12)
    Automatically assigns IP address learned from the IPv6 network router.
  • dhcpv6_stateless
    Automatically assigns DNS information learned from the DHCP server.

The dhcpv6_stateless property value is available in ILOM as of 3.0.14.

  • dhcpv6_stateful
    Automatically assigns the IPv6 address learned from the DHCPv6 server.

The dhcpv6_stateful property value is available in ILOM as of 3.0.14.

  • disable
    Disables all auto-configuration property values and sets the read-only property value for link local address.



Note - The IPv6 configuration options take affect after they are set. You do not need to commit these changes under the /network target.




Note - IPv6 auto-configuration addresses learned for the device will not affect any of the active ILOM sessions to the device. You can verify the newly learned auto-configured addresses under the /network/ipv6 target.




Note - As of ILOM 3.0.14 or later, you can enable the stateless auto-configuration option to run at the same time as when the option for dhcpv6_stateless is enabled or as when the option for dhcpv6_stateful is enabled. However, the auto-configuration options for dhcpv6_stateless and dhcpv6_stateful should not be enabled to run at the same time.


9. Perform the following steps to set a static IPv6 address:

a. To set a pending static IPv6 address, specify the following property values:


Property

Set Property Value

Description

state

set state=enabled

The IPv6 network state is enabled by default. To enable a static IP address this state must be set to enabled.

pendingipaddress

set pending_static_ipaddress=<ip6_address>/<subnet mask length in bits>

Type this command followed by the property value for the static IPv6 address and net mask that you want to assign to the device.

IPv6 address example:

fec0:a:8:b7:214:4fff:feca:5f7e/64


b. To commit (save) the pending IPv6 static network parameters, perform the steps in the following table:


Step

Description

1

Use the cd command to change the directory to the device network target.

For example:

  • For rackmount server type: cd /SP/network
  • For chassis CMM type: cd /CMM/network
  • For chassis blade server SP type: cd /CH/BLn/network
  • For chassis blade server SP with multiple nodes type:
    cd /CH/BLn/Noden/network

2

Type the following command to commit the changed property values for IPv6:

set commitpending=true




Note - Assigning a new static IP address to the device (SP or CMM) will end all active ILOM sessions to the device. To log back in to ILOM, you will need to create a new browser session using the newly assigned IP address.


10. To test the IPv4 or IPv6 network configuration from ILOM use the Network Test Tools (Ping and Ping6). For details, see Test IPv4 or IPv6 Network Configuration.


procedure icon  Test IPv4 or IPv6 Network Configuration

1. Log in to the ILOM SP CLI or the CMM CLI.

procedure icon  Switch Serial Port Output



Note - To determine whether serial port sharing is supported for your server, refer to the platform ILOM Supplement guide or platform Administration guide provided for your server.




caution icon Caution - You should set up the network on the SP before attempting to switch the serial port owner to the host server. If a network is not set up, and you switch the serial port owner to the host server, you will be unable to connect using the CLI or web interface to change the serial port owner back to the SP. To return the serial port owner setting to the SP, you will need to restore access to the serial port on the server.For more details about restoring access to the server port on your server, see the platform documentation supplied with your server.


1. Log in to the ILOM SP CLI.

2. To set the serial port owner, type:

-> set /SP/serial/portsharing /owner=host



Note - The serial port sharing value by default is owner=SP.


3. Use a dongle or multi-port cable to connect a serial host to the server.

For details on how to use aattach devices to the server, see the platform installation documentation supplied with your server.

Before You Begin

The following requirements must be met before performing the procedures described in this section for configuring the Local Interconnect Interface in ILOM.



Note - The settings in ILOM for the Local Interconnect Interface are not supported on the CMM.


For guidelines for configuring the host OS connection point on the Local Interconnect Interface, see Manual Host OS Configuration Guidelines for Local Interconnect Interface.


procedure icon  Configure the Local Interconnect Interface

1. Log in to the ILOM SP CLI.

Establish a local serial console connection or SSH connection to the server SP or CMM

2. Use the cd command to navigate to the /x/network/interconnect working directory for the server.

For example:

3. Type the show command to view the network interconnect targets and properties.

Example outputs:

4. To configure the assignment of the non-routable IPv4 addresses to the connection points on the Local Interconnect Interface, you can choose to:

-> set hostmanaged=true

When you set the hostmanaged property to true, you must also install the Oracle Hardware Management Pack 2.1.0 (or later) software on your server and accept the installation default for enabling Local ILOM Interconnect. For more information, see the section about configuring the Local ILOM Interconnect in the Oracle Server Hardware Management Pack User’s Guide (821-1609).

- or-

-> set hostmanaged=false

When you set the hostmanaged property to false, you must also manually set the values for the following /network/interconnect properties.


Property

Set Property Value

Description

state

set state=enabled

Type set state=enabled to manually enable the Local Interconnect Interface between the ILOM SP and host OS.

The state property under the interconnect target is disabled by default.

pendingipaddress

set pendingipaddress=169.254.182.76

ILOM, by default, provides a non-routable IPv4 address for the ILOM SP connection point on the Local Interconnect Interface.

This default IPv4 address (169.254.182.76) should not be changed unless a conflict exists on the host OS with this IPv4 address.

To change the default IPv4 address, type the set pendingipaddress= command followed by the internal IPv4 address that you want to assign to the ILOM SP connection point on the Local Interconnect Interface.

pendingipnetmask

set pendingipnetmask=255.255.255.0

ILOM, by default, provides an IPv4 Netmask address for the ILOM SP connection point on the Local Interconnect Interface.

This default IPv4 Netmask (255.255.255.0) address should not be changed unless a conflict exists in your network environment with this address.

To change the default Netmask address, type the set pendingipnetmask= command follow by the internal IPv4 Netmask that you want to assign to the ILOM SP connection point on the Local Interconnect Interface.

If you chose to manually configure the Local Interconnect Interface in ILOM without the use of the Oracle Hardware Management Pack 2.1.0 software, you will need to perform some additional configuration on the host operating system. For general details about these additional host OS configuration settings, see Manual Host OS Configuration Guidelines for Local Interconnect Interface.



Note - To prevent the Oracle Hardware Management Pack software from auto-configuring the connection points on the Local Interconnect Interface, the hostmanaged property value must be set to False. To prevent the use of Local Interconnect Interface between the ILOM SP and the host OS, the state property value must be set to disabled and the hostmanaged property value must be set to False.
