Configuring Out of Band Management on System Manager

Last Updated : Oct 25, 2021 |

About this task

If you do not configure Out of Band Management during the deployment of System Manager OVA from Solution Deployment Manager on an Avaya-provided server, you can use the configureOOBM command to configure Out of Band Management anytime after the deployment.

Before you begin

  • Configure Out of Band Management on Avaya Solutions Platform 130, see Installing the Avaya Solutions Platform 130 Series.

  • Install System Manager on the Avaya Solutions Platform 130 host on which Out of Band Management is configured.

  • Ensure that IP address or hostname of Public network and Management network are different.

    If both are in the same network, Out of Band Management configuration might not function as expected.

  • Log in to System Manager by using an SSH client utility.

    When you enable Out of Band Management configuration, you might lose the connection as the system does a network restart. You can login to System Manager from the Console of VMware vSphere to connect to the Avaya Solutions Platform host server.

Procedure

  1. To enable Out of Band Management, type configureOOBM -EnableOOBM.

    The system enables Out of Band Management on the System Manager virtual machine. With EnableOOBM, the system configures the additional Ethernet interface, updates network configuration, and sets the firewall rules.

  2. To disable Out of Band Management, type configureOOBM -DisableOOBM.

    The system disables Out of Band Management on the System Manager virtual machine. With DisableOOBM, the system disables the additional Ethernet interface that you configured earlier and sets the firewall rules to default.
