Setting Up ILOM |
This chapter describes how to access the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) software and how to initially configure an IP address for the server module service processor.
This chapter contains the following topics:
TABLE 3-1 summarizes an ordered list of tasks that you must perform to initially configure an IP address for the server module SP.
The server module must be properly installed in the chassis system. For more information, see Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 of this guide. |
||
You can establish a connection with the ILOM server module SP through a local or remote console.
Alternatively, you can connect a serial console to the serial port on the rear panel of the CMM. For more information about attaching cables or devices to a CMM, see the system chassis documentation.
|
||
To configure an IP address in ILOM, you must log in to ILOM with an Administrator account. A preconfigured Administrator account is shipped on each server module SP. The preconfigured Administrator account name is root and its password is changeme. Because this preconfigured account cannot be deleted, you should change the password after initial setup. This account offers built-in administrative privileges (read and write access) to all service processor features and commands. For more information about ILOM user accounts, see the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Documentation Collection. |
||
Follow instructions in this chapter to log in to ILOM. See Logging In to ILOM. |
||
Follow the instructions in this chapter to initially configure an IP address. See Configuring an IP Address. |

For more information about configuring or modifying an IP address in ILOM, refer to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Documentation Collection. |
This section presents the following procedures:
Log In to ILOM Using a Serial Connection |
Use this procedure to log in to ILOM before you have assigned an IP address to the CMM or server module SP.
1. Verify that your serial console connection to the server module or CMM is secure and operational.
2. Ensure that the following serial communication settings are configured.
3. Press Enter to establish a connection between your serial console and ILOM.
The ILOM Login prompt appears.
4. Log in to the ILOM command-line interface (CLI) using an Administrator account.
The ILOM CLI prompt (->) appears.
If you are logged in to ILOM on the CMM, you must navigate to the server module SP CLI by typing this command:
Where BLn represents the slot in which the server module is installed in the chassis.
5. Proceed to Configuring an IP Address.
Log In to ILOM Using an Ethernet Connection and the CLI |
To log in to ILOM using an Ethernet connection, you must know the IP address of the CMM or server module SP.
1. Using a secure shell (SSH) session, log in to ILOM by specifying your Administrator account user name and the IP address of the CMM or server module SP.
Where host is either an IP address or a hostname (when using DNS).
The ILOM password prompt appears.
2. Type a password for the Administrator account.
$ssh root@host Password: changeme |
The ILOM CLI prompt (->) appears.
If you are logged in to ILOM on the CMM, you must navigate to the server module SP CLI by typing this command:
Where BLn represents the slot in which the server module is installed in the chassis.
3. To view or change the IP address, proceed to Configuring an IP Address.
For more information about how to change settings in ILOM, refer to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Documentation Collection.
You can choose to configure a static or a dynamic IP address. Refer to the following sections for instructions:
By default, the SP uses a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server for network configuration. If you choose to configure a dynamic IP address, refer to these sections:
Use DHCP for SP Network Configuration |
Note - The following instructions assume that the system is in its factory-default configuration. |
1. Verify that your DHCP server is properly configured.
2. Verify that an Ethernet cable is connected to the Ethernet port (NET MGT) on the CMM.
3. If applicable, obtain the MAC address of the server module SP.
The MAC address is on a label on the cover of the server module.
4. Log in to ILOM as described in any one these procedures:
By default, ILOM will attempt to obtain network settings using DHCP.
5. Perform one of the following methods to view the DHCP IP address assigned to the server module SP:
From the CMM, to view the dynamic IP address assigned for a particular server module, type:
-> show /CH/BL0/SP/network
To view the dynamic IP address assigned to the server module, type:
-> show /SP/network
If you are planning to assign a static IP address to a server module SP, or the CMM, consult the following topics:
Assign a Static IP Address to Server Module SP Using the CLI |
1. Connect and log in to ILOM as described in one of these procedures:
2. At the ILOM CLI prompt (->), type the following command to set the working directory:
3. To configure a static Ethernet configuration, type the following commands, using your own addresses in place of the examples below:
-> set pendingipaddress=IP address
-> set pendingipnetmask=Netmask address
-> set pendingipgateway=Gateway address
-> set pendingipdiscovery=static
