Locking Cluster Management Interfaces (BUI)
Note - It is strongly recommended to set a route because it enables communication with the
appliance via the BUI and CLI. Without a route, the only means of communication with the
appliance is through an Oracle ILOM connection to the SP.

Locking Cluster Management Interfaces (BUI)
After initial configuration, clustered controllers are in an active-active state. When a failover
occurs, an active controller takes over all non-private interfaces, and the peer controller
becomes passive and inaccessible by its BUI and CLI. To maintain access to a controller
regardless of its state, lock its management interface to make it private. The following
procedure locks the management interface on each clustered controller.
Caution - Failure to configure locked management interfaces on clustered controllers may lead
to longer than necessary fault diagnosis and resolution times.
1.
In the BUI of the first controller, navigate to Configuration > Cluster.
2.
In the BUI of the second controller, navigate to Configuration > Cluster.
3.
From the BUI of the first controller, choose the management interface for the
first controller from the Resource list.
