Sun Server X4-2 Product Notes

Access Enhanced IP Connectivity Settings in Oracle ILOM

To access these enhanced network settings in Oracle ILOM, follow these steps.

1. Log in to Oracle ILOM as an Administrator.

   For instructions on how launch Oracle ILOM from the web interface or command-line interface (CLI), see the Sun Server X4-2 Installation Guide.

2. To modify the SP network settings, perform one of the following:
   • From the web interface:
     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 upon saving the IP network property changes. To log back in to Oracle ILOM, use the newly assigned service processor IP address.

   • From the CLI interface:
     1. To view the assigned IPv4 and IPv6 network settings on the SP, enter the following:

        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, enter the following:

        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, 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_staticipaddress= value|subnet_mask_value pending_static_ipgatewayaddress= value

        ---

        Note -  A dual-stack network connection is enabled when both the IPv4 and IPv6 State properties are set to enabled. By default, the Oracle ILOM configuration that comes with the server has network settings enabled for a dual stack (IPv4 and IPv6) network connection. If the IPv4 State property is enabled (/SP/network state=enabled) and the IPv6 State property is disabled (/sp/network/ipv6 state=disabled), Oracle ILOM will support an IPv4-only network connection.

        ---

     4. To commit the IPv4 and IPv6 pending network changes in Oracle ILOM, enter the following:

        For IPv4: set /SP/network commitpending=true

        For IPv6: set /SP/network/ipv6 commitpending=true

     ---

     Note -  All user sessions on the SP are terminated upon committing the IP network property changes. To log back in to Oracle ILOM, use the newly assigned service processor IP address.
