Assign Serial Port Ownership Using the Web Interface

Before You Begin

Set up a network connection to 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 back to the SP, use the network connection to Oracle ILOM.

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. Refer to the Oracle X5 Series Servers Administration Guide at http://www.oracle.com/goto/x86AdminDiag/docs.

   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.
