Oracle ILOM Enhancement Allows IPv4 Only, IPv6 Only, or Dual
Stack
On systems with system software release 1.6 on newer, Oracle
ILOM supports the ability to independently enable or disable
IPv4 and IPv6. Also you can now configure a static IPv6
gateway.
-
Log in to Oracle ILOM as an Administrator.
For instructions on how launch Oracle ILOM from the CLI or
web interface, see: Connecting to the
ILOM in Sun Fire X4800 Server
Installation Guide.
-
To modify the SP network settings, perform one of the
following:
-
From the web interface, perform these
steps:
-
Click ILOM Administration >
Connectivity > Network.
-
Modify the settings on the Network
Settings page as required.
For further details about how to configure
the properties on the Network Setting page,
click the More Details
link.
-
Click Save to save your network property
changes in Oracle ILOM.
Note -
When you save your network settings,
it might end your Oracle ILOM session.
If this happens, use the new settings to
log in again.
-
From the CLI interface, perform these
steps:
-
To view the assigned IPv4 and IPv6 network
settings on the SP, perform the
following:
For IPv4, type: show
/SP/network
For IPv6, type: show
/SP/network/ipv6
-
To view the descriptions about each IPv4
and IPv6 network property, perform the
following:
For IPv4, type: help
/SP/network
For IPv6, type: help
/SP/network/ipv6
-
To modify the IPv4 and IPv6 network
properties on the SP, issue the
set command.
IPv4 Example:
set /SP/network
state=enabled|disabled
pendingipdiscovery=static|dhcp
pendingipaddress=value
pendingipgateway=value
pendingipnetmask=value
IPv6 Example:
set /SP/network/ipv6
state=enabled|disabled
pending_static_ipaddress=value/
subnet_mask_value
pending_static_ipgatewayaddress=value
Note -
The set /SP/network/state =
enabled command does not
enable IPv6. To enable IPv6, use either
set /SP/network/ipv6/state =
enabled or (with SW 1.6 or
newer), use set
/SP/network/state =
ipv6-only.
-
To commit the IPv4 and IPv6 pending network
changes, type: set /SP/network
commitpending=true
Note -
If you are logged in to Oracle ILOM using an Ethernet
connection, your connection is terminated when you set
commitpending to
true. When this happens, log back
in using the new settings.
