SPARC M8 and SPARC M7 Servers Installation Guide

Set Oracle ILOM Network Addresses (IPv6)

Assign static network addresses to the following components prior to powering on the server for the first time.

1. Confirm that you are logged in to the Active SP.

   See Log In to the Active SP.

2. Disable the Oracle ILOM autoconfig property.

   Disable the IPv6 autoconfig property so that Oracle ILOM will not determine its IPv6 dynamic address prefixes from an IPv6 router. Refer to the Oracle ILOM documentation for information about this property.

   -> set /SP/network/ipv6 autoconfig=disabled

3. Set the IP address and gateway IP for the Active SP.

   -> set /SP/network/ACTIVE_SP/ipv6 pending_static_ipaddress=IPv6_address/subnet_mask_value

   Replace IPv6_address/subnet_mask_value with the IPv6 address and decimal subnet mask value required for your network (for example, 2606:b400:418:2773:210:e0ff:fe36:e011/64).

4. Set the IP address for the NET MGT 0 port on SP0.

   Enable the IPv6 state property when setting the SP0 and SP1 IPv6 addresses. Enabling the state property permits Oracle ILOM to operate in an IPv6 network environment or in a dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 network environment. Refer to the Oracle ILOM documentation for more information about this property.

   -> set /SP/network/SP0/ipv6 state=enabled pending_static_ipaddress=IPv6_address/subnet_mask_value

   Replace IPv6_address/subnet_mask_value with the IPv6 address and decimal subnet mask value required for your network (for example, 2606:b400:418:2773:210:e0ff:fe36:e012/64).

5. Set the IP address for the NET MGT 0 port on SP1.

   -> set /SP/network/SP1/ipv6 state=enabled pending_static_ipaddress=IPv6_address/subnet_mask_value

   Replace IPv6_address/subnet_mask_value with the IPv6 address and decimal subnet mask value required for your network (for example, 2606:b400:418:2773:210:e0ff:fe36:e013/64).

6. Assign an IP address for each PDomain SPM.

   ---

   Note -  Assign network addresses to the PDomain SPM hosts (HOSTx) if you require the PDomains to support rKVMS functionality. These addresses are not required to access the SPs over the network.

   ---

   -> set /SP/network/HOSTx/ipv6 state=enabled pending_static_ipaddress=IPv6_address/subnet_mask_value

   Replace x with the PDomain number (for example, use HOST0 for PDomain 0). Replace IPv6_address/subnet_mask_value with the IPv6 address and decimal subnet mask value required for your network (for example, 2606:b400:418:2773:210:e0ff:fe36:e014/64).

7. Verify that you have set the network addresses correctly.

   Use the show command to display the pending IP addresses of each SP component.

   • SPARC M8-8 and SPARC M7-8 servers (One PDomain):

     -> show /SP/network/SP0/ipv6
     -> show /SP/network/SP1/ipv6
     -> show /SP/network/Active_SP/ipv6
     -> show /SP/network/HOST0/ipv6

   • SPARC M8-8 and SPARC M7-8 servers (Two PDomains):

     -> show /SP/network/SP0/ipv6
     -> show /SP/network/SP1/ipv6
     -> show /SP/network/Active_SP/ipv6
     -> show /SP/network/HOST0/ipv6
     -> show /SP/network/HOST1/ipv6

   • SPARC M7-16 servers:

     Display the pending IP addresses of the SP components required for your server configuration. For example, if your server contains two PDomains, show only the pending addresses for PDomain SPM (HOST0) and PDomain SPM (HOST1).

     -> show /SP/network/SP0/ipv6
     -> show /SP/network/SP1/ipv6
     -> show /SP/network/Active_SP/ipv6
     -> show /SP/network/HOST0/ipv6
     -> show /SP/network/HOST1/ipv6
     -> show /SP/network/HOST2/ipv6
     -> show /SP/network/HOST3/ipv6

8. Type the following command to make the new addresses take affect.

   -> set /SP/network commitpending=true

9. Continue the installation by specifying the altitude of the server.

   See Set the Server Altitude.
