Assigning System Identification Information

Oracle ILOM provides a set of configurable properties to help identify a specific managed device in your environment. System administrators can use these parameters to uniquely identify the physical location of a managed device, the point-of-contact of a managed device, and the host name assigned to a managed device. For further system identification configuration details, see the following tables.

Table 4-18 Device Identification Configuration Properties  

User Interface Configurable Target and User Role:
  • CLI: /SP/
  • Web: ILOM Administration > Identification
  • User Role: Admin (a) (required for property modification)
Property Default Value Description

Host Name

(hostname=)

Oracle branding string

The default Host Name is formed by concatenating an Oracle branding string, such as "ORACLESP-" with the system-level serial number. The Host Name can contain up to 60 characters in length. It must begin with a letter and contain only alphanumeric, hyphen, and underscore characters.

Note. As of Oracle ILOM 4.0.4, the system-level serial number max size was increased to 64 bytes. As a result, the HOST Name will be truncated when the length of the serial number field is over 50 bytes. In this case, the system administrator should overwrite the default Host Name with a customer defined Host Name.

CLI Syntax for Host Name:

set /SP hostname=value

System Identifier

(/system_identifier=)

None

The System Identifier, when defined, helps identify the managed device in the payload element of an SNMP trap.

The System Identifier property value can contain up to 60 characters using any standard keyboard keys except quotation marks.

CLI Syntax for System Identifier:

set /SP system_identifier=value

System Contact

(/system_contact=)

None

The System Contact, when defined, helps identify the point-of-contact for the managed device such as the name or email address of the person responsible for the device.

The System Contact property value can consist of a text string using any standard keyboard keys except quotation marks.

CLI Syntax for System Contact:

set /SP system_contact=value

System Location

(/system_location=)

None

The System Location, when defined, helps identify the physical location of a managed device such as a rack identifier or a data center location.

The system location property value can consist of a text string using any standard keyboard keys except quotation marks.

CLI Syntax for System Location:

set /SP system_location=value

Physical Presence Check

(/check_physical_ presence=)

Enabled

The Physical Presence Check affects the behavior for recovering the preconfigured Oracle ILOM root account password.

  • Enabled (true) – When enabled, the Locator button on the physical system must be pressed in order to recover the default Oracle ILOM password.

    Note - On some Oracle servers, the physical presence is indicated by a different method than the Locator button.

  • Disabled (false) – When disabled, the default Oracle ILOM administrator password can be reset without pressing the Locator button on the physical system.

CLI Syntax for Physical Presence Check:

set /SP check_physical_presence=true|false
