Command Options for Accessing Oracle ILOM Over a Remote Network Connection

The credential and certificate options listed in the following table are supported for ubiosconfig when accessing a service processor over a network connection. An example of usage follows the table.

Short Option	Long Options	Description
-H	--remote_hostname=sp_ip	The host name, Common Name, or IP address of the remote service processor as specified by sp_ip. This option must be used in combination with the -U option. Note: When accessing an SP over a remote Ethernet network connection, client-side SSL certificate validation is performed by default. For proper validation, you must use the Common Name stored in the client-side SSL certificate and the DNS server for the SP remote host name (e.g. -H ORACLESP-1000NML000). Otherwise, you will receive a "hostname validation failed" error.
-U	--remote_username=username	The user name with root access used to log in to the remote service processor as specified by username. This option must be used in combination with the -H option.
n/a	--cert-dir=pathname	Location of trusted certificates as specified by pathname. Use this option if your client-side SSL certificate is in a different directory than the expected default system certificate directory.
n/a	--no-cert-check	Do not perform SSL certificate checking.

For example, where encryption is required for data transmitted over the network, use these command options to execute a command on a service processor over the network:

# ubiosconfig export all --remote-hostname=sp_ip --remote-username=username --cert-dir=pathname -xml_file=filename.xml

where sp_ip in this case is the Common Name for the target system's SP, username is the user name with login access rights to perform the operation, pathname is the path to the directory that contains your trusted certificate if it is not installed in the expected system certificate directory (see Obtaining SSL Certificates for TLS Access), and filename is the name of the XML file to which you are exporting configurations.

Once your certificate is validated and you are then prompted for the Oracle ILOM user password.

Note:

The Oracle ILOM user password required by the network connection can be piped in on stdin for scripting use.
