Minimum cable connections for the storage server
At least one server on-board Ethernet network connection (NET port)
Serial management port (SER MGT): Service Processor (SP) local connection for Oracle ILOM boot messages
Power cables for the server power supplies
SP management ports
The SER MGT port uses an RJ-45 cable and is always available. This port is the default connection to the Oracle ILOM SP.
The network management port (NET MGT) is the optional connection to the Oracle ILOM SP. The NET MGT port is configured to use DHCP by default. The SP network management port uses an RJ-45 cable for a 10/100/1000 BASE-T connection.
