Modifying the Service Processor Network Settings Using
Oracle ILOM
This section provides information about the default network settings on the service processor
(SP), as well as procedures for viewing and modifying those settings in Oracle ILOM:
■
“Modify Oracle ILOM SP Network Settings ” on page 89
■
“Test the IPv4 or IPv6 Network Configuration” on page 91
The SP network settings may also be viewed and modified from Oracle System Assistant or
the BIOS Setup Utility. For more information about alternative methods of configuring the SP
network interface, or to configure the Ethernet controller network settings, see the Oracle X5
Series Servers Administration Guide at https://www.oracle.com/goto/x86admindiag/docs.
The Oracle Server X5-2 supports dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 settings, which enable Oracle ILOM
to fully operate in an IPv4 or IPv6 network environment.
■
For IPv4 configurations, DHCP is enabled by default, allowing a DHCP server on the
network to automatically assign network settings to the service processor.
■
For IPv6 configurations, IPv6 stateless auto-configuration is enabled by default, allowing an
IPv6 router on the network to assign the network settings.
In a typical configuration, you will accept the default settings. However, if you want to modify
the service processor network settings, follow these procedures:
Modify Oracle ILOM SP Network Settings
When you use Oracle ILOM to deploy or manage the server, you can optionally modify the
default network settings provided for the service processor (SP).
This procedure provides web and command-line interface (CLI) instructions for viewing and
modifying the network settings that are assigned to the SP.
