Configure a Sideband Management Connection to Oracle ILOM
Before You Begin:
- Sideband management is supported on most Oracle servers. However, to
verify whether a server supports sideband management, refer to the server
administration guide or the product release notes.
Note:
The sideband network management connection is designed to be implemented independent of a dedicated network management connection. However, either of these network management connections (dedicated or sideband) can coexist with the standard local serial management connection and (or) the internal high-speed interconnect management connection. - Review Management Services and Network Default Properties.
- To maintain the most reliable and secure environment for Oracle ILOM, the sideband management port on the server must always be connected to an internal trusted network or dedicated secure management or private network.
- The SP Management Port property for Oracle ILOM is configurable from
the Oracle ILOM CLI and web interface. It is also configurable for x86 servers from
the BIOS Setup Utility
If you modify the Management Port property through Oracle ILOM, the following requirements apply:
- A management connection to Oracle ILOM should already be established. For instructions, see either:
- You should have logged in to Oracle ILOM. For instructions, see Logging In to Oracle ILOM Server SP..
- The default
root
account or a user account with Admin (a) role privileges is required in Oracle ILOM to modify the Management Port property.
