How to assign ILOM IP to the new Solaris server + Solaris 11

How to assign ILOM IP to the new Solaris server + Solaris 11

Suppose there is requirement of new server. After rack mounting the server, assigning power cable, network etc.… we can assign ILOM IP address to access the server from outside DC.

Prerequisites: Note down the server make and model. Console cable is required to take ILOM serial connection from laptop. Take the ILOM IP address, gateway and netmask details from the network team.

1.     Log in to ILOM using a serial connection

2.     Connect your laptop and NET MGMT port using console cable.

3.       From laptop, in search bar, type “Computer Management” and search.

4.       Computer Management >> Device Management >> Ports (COM and LPT)

5.       Take putty session and select Serial and mention the COM port details which we got in step4. Mention appropriate buad rate or speed. In maximum cases we mention speed as 9600.

The speed depends on the hardware details, so node down the make, model of hardware and search speed accordingly.

6.     Press Enter to establish a connection between your serial console and ILOM. A login prompt to ILOM appears.

7.       Now we can assign ILOM IP address.

           7.1 #cd /SP/network

           7.2 Type the following commands to configure a static Ethernet configuration

                  --> set pendingipdiscovery=static

                 --> set pendingipaddress= <IP address>

                  --> set pendingipnetmask= <Netmask address>

                  --> set pendingipgateway= <Gateway address>

                  --> set commitpending=true

                  --> set state=enable

            7.3 show /SP/network      >> To show network properties; we can see assigned ILOM IP

8. Now we will be able to take ILOM connection from web interface.
