Set Identification Labels for a Managed Device

Before You Begin

  • You need Admin (a) role privileges in Oracle ILOM to set the system identification labels for a managed device.

You can assign identification labels for the host name, system identifier, system contact, and the system location by using the Oracle ILOM server SP CLI or web interface.

  • Set identification label – Web Procedure 1

  • Set identification label – CLI Procedure 2

  1. Set Identification Labels – Web Procedure
    1. In the SP \web interface, click ILOM Administration > Identification.

      The Identification Information page appears providing fields to specify the:

      • Hostname – Type a host name for the managed device. The host name can contain up to 60 characters. It must begin with a letter and it must contain only alphanumeric, hyphen, and underscore characters.

      • System Identifier –Type system identifier for the managed device. The system identifier can contain up to 60 characters using any standard keyboard keys except quotation marks.

      • System Contact – Type a system contact for the managed device. The system contact can consist of a text string using any standard keyboard keys except quotation marks.

      • System Location – Type a system location for the managed device. The system location can consist of a text string using any standard keyboard keys except quotation marks.

      • Physical Presence Check – When this option is enabled, you must prove physical presence at the system to recover the ILOM password or to perform other security-related actions. Refer to your platform documentation for instructions on how to prove physical presence. If your platform documentation does not mention physical presence, contact your Oracle service representative.

    2. Click Save for your settings to take affect.
