Host-to-ILOM Interconnect Configuration Options

You can choose to either have the Host-to-ILOM Interconnect automatically configured for you or manually configured. Details about both of these configuration options are provided below.

• Automatic Configuration (Recommended)

  For Oracle Hardware Management Pack to automatically configure the Host-to-ILOM Interconnect connection points, the Local Interconnect settings in Oracle ILOM must be in the Host Managed state. In order to automatically configure the Host-to-ILOM Interconnect connection points, you must:

  1. Accept the default settings provided in Oracle ILOM for Local Host Interconnect before installing Oracle Hardware Management Pack.

  2. Install Oracle Hardware Management Pack on the host server and accept the installation defaults provided for Host-to-ILOM Interconnect.

• Manual Configuration (Advanced users only)

  If you prefer not to automatically configure the Host-to-ILOM Interconnect, you can manually configure the connection points on the Oracle ILOM SP and host OS. In order to manually configure the Host-to-ILOM Interconnect connection points, you must:

  • Ensure your OS recognizes the internal LAN-over-USB device, which requires an Ethernet driver. For instructions on installing the driver, see Installing the Host-to-ILOM Interconnect Driver.

  • You must manually configure an IPv4 address for the connection points. There are two ways to do this:

    • Use the itpconfig tool or the ilomconfig tool to configure the Host-to-ILOM Interconnect connection points on the Oracle ILOM SP and the host OS.

    • Use the Oracle ILOM interface to configure the connection point in the Oracle ILOM SP and separately configure the host side connection point.
