Log In to Oracle ILOM Using a Remote Ethernet Connection

You can log in to the Oracle ILOM web interface or CLI remotely using one of the network ports on the server.

You need to know the IP address or host name of the service processor (SP) to log in to Oracle ILOM remotely. If you do not know the IP address of the SP, see Troubleshooting Oracle ILOM.


Note -  To enable first time login and access to Oracle ILOM, a default Administrator account and its password are provided with the system. To build a secure environment, change the default password (changeme) for the default Administrator account (root) after your initial login.

If this default Administrator account has since been changed, contact your system administrator for an Oracle ILOM user account with Administrator privileges.

For information about how to change the root password, refer to the Oracle Integrated Light Out Manager (ILOM) Documentation library at: https://www.oracle.com/goto/ilom/docs


To improve response times, disable the web browser proxy server (if one is enabled).
