Server Management Connection Options
Before you begin cabling the system, you need to decide on a method for connecting to the
Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) service processor for system A, and for system
B on dual 4-socket systems.
■
Serial connection to SER MGT port (CLI only) This connection method requires a
terminal device for connecting to the server's serial management port (SER MGT). To
communicate with the SP, you need a terminal, a terminal server, or a laptop running
terminal emulation software. Set up the terminal device to communicate using 9600 baud,
8 bit, no parity, and 1 stop bit. For information, see “Log In to Oracle ILOM Using a Local
Serial Connection” on page 75 .
On the rear panel, use an RJ-45 to DB9 crossover cable, or a standard RJ-45 cable with an
adapter to set up a null modem configuration.
■
Dedicated remote network management connection –
If you have a networking
environment running Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP), use the Oracle
ILOM defaults to easily configure your Ethernet management port (NET MGT)
connection. For information, see “Log In to Oracle ILOM Using a Remote Ethernet
Connection” on page 76 .
Note -
To access Oracle ILOM over the network you need to know its host name or IP
address. The factory default uses a DHCP connection. If your network supports DHCP,
you can obtain the host name or IP address of the Oracle ILOM service processor from the
DHCP server.
