Display Server Module Oracle ILOM SP IP Address (CLI)

Use the chassis Oracle ILOM CMM to:

To display the server module Oracle ILOM SP IP Address (CLI) by using the chassis Oracle ILOM CMM:

  1. Verify that the chassis Oracle ILOM CMM is operational:
    • Connected to the network through the Ethernet management port.

    • Configured

    • Operational

  2. Open a terminal window.
  3. Log in to the chassis Oracle ILOM CMM using a Secure Shell (SSH) session.

    For example, type:

    $ ssh username@CMMIPaddress

    where username is a user account with Administrator privileges and the CMMIPaddress is the IP address of the Oracle ILOM CMM. The default Oracle ILOM Administrator account user name is root.

    • If this default Administrator account has been changed, contact your system administrator for an Oracle ILOM user account with Administrator privileges.

      Note - To enable first-time login and access to Oracle ILOM, a default Administrator account and its password are provided with the system. To build a secure environment, you must change the default password (changeme) for the default Administrator account (root) after your initial login to Oracle ILOM. If this default Administrator account has since been changed, contact your system administrator for an Oracle ILOM user account with Administrator privileges.

    After successful log in to Oracle ILOM CMM, the Oracle ILOM prompt (->) appears.

  4. Type:

    -> show /CH/BL0/SP/network

    where BL0 represents a Sun Blade X4-2B slot 0 in the chassis.

    Oracle ILOM CMM displays properties of the server module, including its IP address and MAC address. The following example shows blade 0 server module information:

    -> show /CH/BL0/SP/network
       /CH/BL0/SP/network
        Targets:
            interconnect
            ipv6
            test
    
        Properties:
            commitpending = (Cannot show property)
            dhcp_server_ip = 10.134.210.11
            ipaddress = 10.134.210.152
            ipdiscovery = dhcp
            ipgateway = 10.134.210.254
            ipnetmask = 255.255.255.0
            macaddress = 00:21:28:BB:D7:22
            managementport = /SYS/SP/NET0
            outofbandmacaddress = 00:21:28:BB:D7:22
            pendingipaddress = 10.134.210.152
            pendingipdiscovery = dhcp
            pendingipgateway = 10.134.210.254
            pendingipnetmask = 255.255.255.0
            pendingmanagementport = /SYS/SP/NET0
            sidebandmacaddress = 00:21:28:BB:D7:23
            state = enabled
    
        Commands:
            cd
            set
            show
    ->
  5. View the Oracle ILOM SP address in the Properties list.

    For example: ipaddress = 10.134.210.152.

  6. Note the network configurations, including the server module's SP IP address.

    You need to know the SP IP address to log in directly to a server module Oracle ILOM.

  7. (Optional) Set a static IP address.

    By default, the IP address of the server module SP is configured using DHCP.

  8. To log out of Oracle ILOM CMM, type:

    -> exit
