Index

Choose one of the options in this section to cable the management connection, after the server module is installed in the chassis. After connectivity is established, you can set up the server module through web interface or CLI commands. Use Oracle ILOM and Oracle System Assistant to perform server module administrative tasks.

The following illustration and table shows options to connect the server module.

Choose a method of connecting the server module to a console, as described in the following sections:

No	Set Up Option	Description	Link
1	Remote Ethernet network port console — access Oracle ILOM CLI, web interface, and Oracle System Assistant.	The Ethernet network CMM NET MGT port connects to your remote management network through an RJ-45 cable. From your network console, log in to Oracle ILOM on the CMM using the IP address of the CMM. After log in, navigate to any individual server module SP in a chassis and use Oracle ILOM web interface to administer any server module in the chassis.	Set Up Server Module Remote Using Ethernet Network Connection
2	Local serial terminal — access Oracle ILOM CLI only.	The server module SP UCP port connects through a required multi-port cable RJ-45 serial connector to a terminal device. From your terminal device, log in to the server module SP, using Oracle ILOM CLI, to administer the server module.	Set Up Server Module Using Local Serial Connection
3	Local KVM terminal — access Oracle ILOM CLI, web interface, and Oracle System Assistant.	A USB keyboard and mouse connects to a USB connector on the required multi-port cable. A VGA monitor connects to the 15-pin multi-port cable connector. The multi-port cable connects to the server module SP UCP port for a local KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) connection. From a KVM terminal, log in to Oracle ILOM on the server module SP using the SP CLI or the web interface, to administer the server module.	Set Up Server Module Using Local KVM Connection
