Assign Serial Port Output Using the CLI

Before You Begin

Set up the network on the SP before attempting to change the serial port owner to the host server. If the network is not set up, and you switch the serial port owner to the host server, you will be unable to connect using the CLI or web interface to change the serial port owner back to the SP.

To return the serial port owner setting to the SP, you need to restore access to the serial port on the server. For more details about restoring access to the server port on your server, see the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.2 Documentation Library at: http://www.oracle.com/goto/ILOM/docs.

1. Open an SSH session and at the command line log in to the SP Oracle ILOM CLI.

   Log in as a user with root or administrator privileges. For example:

   ssh root@ipadress

   where ipadress is the IP address of the server SP.

   For more information, see Oracle X4 Series Servers Administration Guide .

   The Oracle ILOM CLI prompt appears:

2. To set the serial port owner, type:

   -> set /SP/serial/portsharing owner=host

   ---

   Note -  The serial port sharing value by default is owner=SP.

3. Connect a serial host to the server.
