Modify Oracle ILOM SP Network Settings (Oracle ILOM)

Language:

When you use Oracle ILOM to deploy or manage the server, you can optionally modify the default network settings provided for the service processor (SP).

This procedure provides web and command-line interface (CLI) instructions for viewing and modifying the network settings that are assinged to the SP. For further details about this task, see the instructions below.

Note - Earlier releases of Oracle ILOM support the ability to configure an IPv4 network connection or a dual-stack (IPv4 and IPv6) network connection. Newer enhanced releases of Oracle ILOM support the ability to configure a static IPv6 gateway address and any of the following: IPv4 network connection only, IPv6 network connection only, or a dual-stack network connection (where IPv4 and IPv6 are both enabled). Refer to your product notes to determine which Oracle ILOM release supports these enhancements.

Log in to Oracle ILOM as an Administrator.
For instructions on how launch Oracle ILOM from the CLI or web interface, see: Accessing Oracle ILOM
To modify the SP network settings, perform one of the following:
- From the web interface, perform these steps:
  1. Click ILOM Administration > Connectivity > Network.
  2. Modify the settings on the Network Settings page as required.
    For further details about how to configure the properties on the Network Settings page, click the More Details link.
  3. Click Save to save your network property changes in Oracle ILOM.
    Note - All user sessions on the SP are terminated when you save IP network property changes. To log back in to Oracle ILOM, use the newly assigned service processor IP address.
- From the CLI interface, perform these steps:
  1. To view the assigned IPv4 and IPv6 network settings on the SP, type:
    For IPv4, type: show /SP/network
    
    For IPv6, type: show /SP/network/ipv6
  2. To view the descriptions about each IPv4 and IPv6 network property, type:
    For IPv4, type: help /SP/network
    
    For IPv6, type: help /SP/network/ipv6
  3. To modify the IPv4 and IPv6 network properties on the SP, use 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_valuepending_static_ipgatewayaddress=value
    
    Note - For servers that include the enhanced version of Oracle ILOM, the /SP/network/ state=enabled command does not enable IPv6. Instead, use the command /SP/network/ipv6 state=enabled.
  4. To commit pending network changes in Oracle ILOM, type:
    set /SP/network commitpending=true
  Note - All user sessions on the SP are terminated when you save IP network property changes. To log back in to Oracle ILOM, use the newly assigned service processor IP address.
