Manually Configure the Local Interconnect
Note:
Alternatively, you can use the Oracle Hardware Management Pack 2.1.0 software or later to auto-configure the Local Interconnect connection points on a managed server. For local interconnect auto-configuration instructions, see the Oracle Hardware Management Pack User's Guide.Before You Begin:
- This manual procedure for configuring a local interconnect between the SP and host OS should be performed only by advanced users.
- This manual procedure provides guidelines for configuring the host OS internal connection point and detailed steps for optionally configuring the Oracle ILOM SP internal connection point.
- An established network or local serial management connection is required to the Oracle ILOM SP prior to modifying the default SP Local Host Interconnect properties in Oracle ILOM.
- The preconfigured Oracle ILOM
root
account or a customer-configured user account with Admin (a
) role privileges is required to modify the SP Local Host Interconnect properties in Oracle ILOM. - Prior to performing this procedure, verify that an interconnect management
connection between the SP and host OS was not automatically configured by Oracle
ILOM. In the case an interconnect management connection was auto-configured by Oracle
ILOM, disabling the host managed property (
hostmanaged=false
) using the procedure below will cause the local host applications running on the auto-configured interconnect management connection to fail.
Follow these steps to manually configure the internal Ethernet USB connection points between the host OS and the Oracle ILOM SP:
- To
manually configure the internal Ethernet USB connection parameters
for the host operating system, do the following:
- To manually modify the Local
Host Interconnect properties for the Oracle ILOM SP, follow these
steps:
- To test the local interconnect
management connection between the host OS and the Oracle ILOM SP,
perform any of the following:
- On the managed server host operating system, using a web browser or a
CLI shell, log in to the Oracle ILOM SP by entering the non-routable IP address
that is assigned to the SP USB Ethernet connection point.
Expected results for:
Web browser connection – The Oracle ILOM Login page appears.
CLI shell connection – An authorization prompt for Oracle ILOM appears.
- Ping the local interconnect SP address from the host OS.
For instructions, see Test IPv4 and IPv6 Connectivity.
- On the managed server host operating system, using a web browser or a
CLI shell, log in to the Oracle ILOM SP by entering the non-routable IP address
that is assigned to the SP USB Ethernet connection point.
