ilomconfig Commands Might Fail When Using Oracle ILOM 3.0.9 (15650623)
Oracle ILOM versions 3.0.9 and earlier have limitations that might cause the
ilomconfig
command to fail with the error Cannot connect to
BMC
. These errors can occur when multiple programs attempt to access the IPMI interface
of Oracle ILOM.
If such errors do occur, Oracle ILOM must recover from this error. This recovery could mean a one or two minute disruption in the services provided by Oracle ILOM.
Workaround
To help avoid this error, disable the Hardware Management Agent and Storage Monitoring Agent
before using ilomconfig
. Also, avoid any other IPMI access to Oracle ILOM, such
as using ipmitool, when running ilomconfig
.
