2.4 Configuring a Separate Network for ILOM

When configuring or re-imaging an Oracle Exadata Rack, you can use Oracle Exadata Deployment Assistant (OEDA) to configure a separate network for Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM).

Before Oracle Exadata System Software release 19.1.0, the Exadata servers and ILOM interfaces must have network access to each other for certain features, such as alert notification. Starting with Oracle Exadata System Software release 19.1.0, this network dependency is removed while maintaining all of the previously supported features. Now, you can configure ILOM interfaces on a completely separate network.

1. Use the OEDA Web Configurator to configure the settings for your Oracle Exadata Rack.
2. On the Rack Networks page, check the box Separate ILOM Network to configure a separate network for ILOM.

   A new section appears on the page, with the heading of ILOM. In this area you specify the information required to configure the ILOM network.

3. Provide the required values for the ILOM network:
   • Gateway
   • Start IP Address
   • Subnet Mask
   • Domain Name
4. Optional: If you do not want to use the default names and values for the ILOM network, click the Modify Masks button and customize the network settings.
