Launch and Log In to Oracle ILOM
Preferred Connection Instructions
must always be connected to
an internal trusted network or
dedicated secure management/
private network.
3. Establish a network connection to Oracle ILOM using the IP address assigned
to the SP or CMM.
For further instructions, see “Launch and Log In to Oracle
ILOM” on page 39.
Dedicated Local Serial
Management Connection
1. Attach a serial cable to a console (workstation or terminal) and the SER MGT
port on the server or blade chassis.
The physical connection provides your initial communication with the server
service processor (SP) or chassis monitoring module (CMM). You must set
the terminal device communication properties to these values: 9600 baud, 8
bit, no parity, 1 stop bit (9600/8-N-1).
2. To create a local connection to Oracle ILOM, press Return.
The Oracle ILOM prompt (>) appears. For further instructions, see “Launch
and Log In to Oracle ILOM” on page 39.
Dedicated Interconnect SP
Management Connection
(also known as embedded USB
over LAN)
Choose to auto-configure or manually configure a dedicated local interconnect
connection between the server service processor (SP) and the host operating
system client.
For instructions, refer to “Dedicated Interconnect SP Management Connection” in
the Oracle ILOM Configuration and Maintenance Guide for firmware version 3.1
or 3.2.
Shared Sideband Network
Connection
Note - Using sideband
management simplifies cable
management and network
configuration by preventing the
need for two separate network
connections. However, it also
means that Oracle ILOM traffic
could potentially be sent over
an untrusted network if the
sideband management port
is not connected to a trusted
network.
Choose to connect to Oracle ILOM through the standard data port provided on the
server chassis.
Note - Implementing a sideband management connection to Oracle ILOM
eliminates the need to support two separate network connections for host and
management traffic. However, this approach could: (1) potentially decrease the
connection performance to Oracle ILOM, and (2) potentially provide risks by
transmitting Oracle ILOM traffic over an untrusted network.
For instructions, see Sideband Network Management Connection in the Oracle
ILOM Configuration and Maintenance Guide for firmware version 3.1 or 3.2.
