Configuring the System
Configuring the System
Use this procedure to configure the system through Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager
(ILOM) when the appliance is first powered on.
Oracle ILOM, which is pre-installed in all storage controllers, is a service processor (SP) with
an embedded operating system. It provides a full-featured, browser-based web interface and
has an equivalent command line interface (CLI). Therefore, you can connect to Oracle ILOM
through a serial connection or through a network connection if your network has a Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server.
A serial SP connection is recommended for initial configuration because Oracle ILOM has
no initial network connectivity. This connection lets you monitor progress, especially during
system reboots. Afterwards, you can remove the serial connection if you do not need it for CLI
access. Instead, make a network SP connection, which allows for better collection of platform
data, as described in
By keeping an Oracle ILOM connection in place after configuration, you can troubleshoot
hardware problems that do not otherwise appear in the appliance software, as well as update
the BIOS. Failure to configure Oracle ILOM connectivity may lead to longer than necessary
hardware fault diagnosis and resolution times.
If using a serial connection to the appliance, configure an administrative client with the

For clustered controllers, perform this procedure on only one controller, the primary

controller. The software propagates the configuration to the peer controller during cluster
initialization. It does not matter which controller you choose as the primary controller.
After the cluster is initialized, you can administer the system from either storage controller.
However, do not attempt initial configuration on both controllers independently.

the following ways:
For a serial connection (recommended), use

serial port concentrator, such as telnet, followed by serial-concentrator portnumber. Use
the appropriate value for portnumber. For example: telnet serial-concentrator 100
