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

Enable Out of Band Management on Appliance Virtualization Platform.
Install System Manager on the Appliance Virtualization Platform host on which Out of Band Management is installed.
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 Client. that is configured to connect to the Appliance Virtualization Platform host server.

Procedure

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.
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.
