SPARC T7 Series Servers Administration Guide

Configure SP In-Band (Sideband) Access

This procedure describes how to change the SP management port to an in-band (or sideband) host network port.

1. Connect to Oracle ILOM through the SER MGT port.

   Refer to the installation guide for your server to connect to the SER MGT port.

2. Log in to Oracle ILOM.

   See Log In to Oracle ILOM.

3. If you logged in using the serial port, assign a static IP address to the SP.

   For instructions, refer to the information about assigning a static IP address in the installation guide for the server.

4. View the current network settings.

   -> show /SP/network
   

   For example, in the output, you might find these properties:

   managementport = MGMT
   ...
   pendingmanagementport = MGMT
   ...
   

   MGMT indicates the NET MGT port is the current port for the SP.

5. Set the SP management port to a sideband port.

   Specify a sideband port that has an active LAN connection.

   -> set /SP/network pendingmanagementport=port

   where port can be NET0, NET1, NET2, or NET3 for a sideband port.

6. Commit the network configuration change.

   ->set /SP/network commitpending=true

7. Verify the change.

   -> show /SP/network
   

   For example, in the output, you might find these new properties:

   managementport = NET0
   ...
   pendingmanagementport = NET0
