Enable FIPS Mode at Deployment
Note:
FIPS compliance mode in Oracle ILOM is represented by State and Status properties. The State property represents the configured mode in Oracle ILOM and the Status property represents the operational mode in Oracle ILOM. When the FIPS State property is changed, the change does not affect the operational mode (FIPS Status property) until the next Oracle ILOM reboot.Before You Begin
- The FIPS State and Status properties are shipped disabled by default.
- When FIPS is enabled (configured and operational) some features in Oracle ILOM are not supported. For a list of unsupported features when FIPS is enabled, see Unsupported Features in Oracle ILOM When FIPS Mode Is Enabled.
- The Admin (a) role is required to modify the FIPS State property.
- The configurable property for FIPS compliance is available in Oracle ILOM as of firmware 3.2.4 and later.
- All user-defined configuration settings are reset to their factory defaults upon modifying the FIPS mode State and Status properties in Oracle ILOM.
