By default, the NET MGT serial port connects to the SP console. Using Oracle ILOM, you can configure it to connect to the host console instead. This feature is useful for Windows kernel debugging, as it enables you to view non-ASCII character traffic from the host console.
Do not configure the NET MGT port to connect to the host console until after you have configured the Oracle ILOM network connection. Otherwise you cannot connect to Oracle ILOM to switch it back.
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: https://www.oracle.com/goto/ilom/docs.
You can assign serial port output using either the Oracle ILOM web interface or the command-line interface (CLI). For instructions, see the following sections:
