Configure the Dedicated SP Interconnect Mode

Supporting an internal Ethernet-over-USB interface, you can establish a LAN management connection to Oracle ILOM from a host OS client.

This task uses PDomain_0 as an example. You must have the admin role (a) to complete this task.

  1. View the dedicated interconnect settings for a PDomain.
    -> show /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_0/SP/network/interconnect
    
       /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_0/SP/network/interconnect
          Targets:
    
          Properties:
             hostmanaged = true
             type = USB Ethernet
             ipaddress = IP-address
             ipnetmask = netmask-IP-address
             spmacaddress = MAC-address
             hostmacaddress = MAC-address
    ...
    ->
  2. Configure the dedicated interconnect mode for a PDomain.
    -> set /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_0/SP/network/interconnect hostmanaged=true
    Set 'hostmanaged' to 'true'
    
    ->

    Note -  The hostmanaged property is set to true by default.

    The configuration mode allows the host application to control and configure the interface between the SP and the host. When it is set to false, the host application is not allowed to manipulate this interface, so you must manually configure the interconnect.
