Assign Serial Port Output Using the Web Interface

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. Log in to the service processor Oracle ILOM web interface.

   To log in, open a web browser and direct it using the IP address of the server SP. Log in as root or a user with administrator privileges. See Oracle X4 Series Servers Administration Guide .

   The Summary screen appears.

2. In the ILOM web interface, select ILOM Administration --> Connectivity from the navigation menu on the left side of the screen.
3. Select the Serial Port tab.

   The Serial Port Settings page appears.
