For targets where a change in properties can interrupt current user sessions, configuration includes committing the pending change to take affect.

For example, changing the IP network settings for the SP in Oracle ILOM will cause an interruption to the current user sessions. Therefore, you will be required to commit any changes you have made to the IP properties before your changes can take affect in Oracle ILOM.

An example of the process used to commit changes for IP properties appears below:

1. View the current network settings.

   -> show /SP/network
    
   /SP/network
      Targets:
         interconnect
         ipv6
         test
    
      Properties:
         commitpending = (Cannot show property)
         dhcp_clientid = none
         dhcp_server_ip = none
         ipaddress = 192.0.2.22
         ipdiscovery = static
         ipgateway = 192.0.2.1
         ipnetmask = 10.255.255.0
         macaddress = 00:28:25:E7:18:0C
         managementport = MGMT
         outofbandmacaddress = 00:28:25:E7:18:0C
         pendingipaddress = 192.0.2.22
         pendingipdiscovery = static
         pendingipgateway = 192.0.2.1
         pendingipnetmask = 10.255.255.0
         pendingmanagementport = MGMT
         sidebandmacaddress = 00:28:25:E7:18:0D
         state = enabled
    
      Commands:
         cd
         set
         show
   

2. To change the settings, first enter the new (pending) information.

   ->set /SP/network pendingipdiscovery=static pendingipaddress=
                  nnn.nn.nn.nn
                  pendingipgateway=
                  nnn.nn.nn.nn
                  pendingipnetmask=
                  nnn.nn.nn.nn
               

3. Then, after you have confirmed that the new settings are correct, commit the new settings to have them take effect immediately:

   -> set /SP/network commitpending=true
