The Oracle Solaris ilomconfig command that enables the communication channel between the OS and the SP might occasionally fail with an Internal Error message.
This communication channel is enabled by default and is not usually disabled in the normal course of operation. However, the channel can be disabled by superuser with this Oracle Solaris command.
# ilomconfig disable interconnect Host-to-ILOM interconnect disabled.
Occasionally, the command to enable the interconnect might fail again with this error message:
# ilomconfig enable interconnect ERROR: Internal error
If this situation happens, follow the workaround to reenable the link, because the link is used for transferring diagnostic data between the Oracle Solaris instance and the SP and must be reenabled promptly.
Workaround: Retype the command to enable the interconnect.
# ilomconfig enable interconnect Host-to-ILOM interconnect successfully configured.
If the failure persists, contact your authorized Oracle Service Provider for assistance.
