The management network connects to your existing management network, and is used for administrative work. Each SPARC T4-4 server provides access to the following management networks:
Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) management network – Connected through the Oracle ILOM Ethernet interface on each SPARC T4-4 server. Connections to this network are the same, regardless of the type of configuration that is set up on the SPARC T4-4 server.
1 GbE host management network – Connected through the four 1 GbE host management interfaces (NET0 - NET3) on each SPARC T4-4 server. Connections to this network will vary, depending on the type of configuration that is set up on the system. In most cases, the four 1 GbE host management ports at the rear of the SPARC T4-4 servers use IP network multipathing (IPMP) to provide redundancy for the management network interfaces to the logical domains. However, the ports that are grouped together, and whether IPMP is used, varies depending on the type of configuration that is set up on the SPARC T4-4 server.
