Just some quick notes on setting up Oracle Sun T-series server ILOM and network aggregation with LACP. I don’t get to do this very often, so every time it’s a struggle to remember, with much googling required.

ILOM Network Configuration

show /SP/network
set /SP/network pendingipdiscovery=static
set /SP/network pendingipaddress=192.168.10.22
set /SP/network pendingipgateway=192.168.10.1
set /SP/network pendingipnetmask=255.255.255.0
show /SP/network
set /SP/network commitpending=true
set /SP/network state=enabled
show /SP/network
set /SP hostname=host02b-ilo system_identifier="host02b-ilo" system_location="rack c12"
show /SP
start /SYS
start /SP/console
