Sun ILOM 3.0 Supplement for Sun Blade X6240 Server Module |
This supplement contains information for using Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 with the Sun Blade X6240 Server Module.
This document provides information about the following topics:
The Sun Blade X6240 Server Module is installed in the Sun Blade 6000 Modular System. The Modular System consists of a chassis with fans, power supplies, networking hardware, and space for up to ten server modules. The server modules are installed in the modular system chassis.
The Server Locator Indicators (also called the Locate LED buttons) are small lights that you turn on to help you identify a specific server among many in a data center. The Server Locator Indicator is positioned on the front of the server in the upper-left corner section.
Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) is system management firmware that you can use to monitor, manage, and configure a Sun Blade server module. The ILOM firmware is preinstalled on the service processor (SP) of each Sun Blade server module and initializes as soon as you apply power to the system. You can access ILOM through several interfaces, such as web browsers, a command-line interface (CLI), a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) interface, and an Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI). ILOM will continue to run regardless of the state of the host operating system, making it a “lights-out” management system.
For information about configuring and using ILOM, refer to the Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager 3.0 Documentation Collection. The ILOM 3.0 Documentation Collection is available at: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/int.lights.mgr30#hic
The service processor (SP) is the ILOM firmware. It has its own Internet Protocol (IP) address and media access control (MAC) address and is capable of operating regardless of the state of the other system hardware. In a Sun Blade server module, the SP can operate whether the server module is fully operational, powered down, or in standby mode.
The Sun Blade Modular System, or chassis, has its own service processor, called a chassis monitoring module (CMM). CMM ILOM is a modified version of ILOM firmware that is preinstalled for the SP.
ILOM supports two ways to manage a system: using the CMM or using the server module’s SP directly.
You can establish communication with the ILOM Server Module SP through a local or remote console.
For instructions on connecting a local serial console or attaching an Ethernet cable, refer to the Sun Blade X6240 Server Module Installation Guide (820-3968).
The type of connection you establish to ILOM determines which type of system management tasks you can perform. For example, to remotely access the full range of system management functionality in ILOM, you will require an Ethernet connection to the CMM and an IP assignment for the CMM and the server module SP.
You can connect to the ILOM on your server module using one of the following methods:
The following sections describe each of these methods.
Connecting to ILOM Through the Chassis Ethernet Port (Option 1) |
Typically, you connect to ILOM through the Ethernet. When the server module is installed in the chassis, its ILOM is automatically accessible on the same subnet as the CMM ILOM.
If you do not know ILOM's IP address, find it as described in Finding ILOM's IP Address.
You can connect to ILOM using a Secure Shell (SSH) to connect to the command-line interface (CLI), or using a browser to connect to the web interface.
See the Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager 3.0 Documentation Collection for details.
Where n is 0 through 9 for server modules 0 through 9, respectively.
3. The CLI displays information about the server module, including its IP address.
Where ipaddress is the address of the server SP.
3. Type your password when prompted.
The default password is changeme.
The CLI command prompt appears.
1. Type the IP address of the server SP into your web browser.
The web interface Login screen appears.
2. Type your user name and password.
When you first try to access the web interface, it prompts you to type the default user name and password. The default user name and password are:
The default user name and password are in lowercase characters.
The ILOM web interface appears.
4. To log out of the web interface, click the Log Out button.
Do not use the Log Out button in your web browser to log out from the web interface.
Connecting to ILOM Through the Chassis Serial Connector (Option 2) |
The chassis serial connector connects to the chassis CMM ILOM. The CMM ILOM provides a command to connect to the server module ILOM(s).
1. Connect a serial cable from the serial port on the chassis to a terminal device.
The terminal device can be an actual terminal, a laptop running a terminal emulator, or a terminal server. It must be set to the following:
The cable requires the following pin assignments.
2. Press Enter on the terminal device.
This establishes the connection between the terminal device and the CMM ILOM.
The CMM ILOM login prompt appears.
The first string in the prompt is the default host name. It consists of the prefix SUNCMM and the CMM ILOM’s MAC address.
The default user is root and the default password is changeme.
Once you have successfully logged in, the CMM ILOM displays the ILOM default command prompt:
4. Navigate to /CH/BLn/SP/cli.
Where n is 0 through 9 for server modules 0 through 9 respectively.
A confirmation prompt appears.
6. Enter y to continue or n to cancel.
If you entered y, the server module ILOM prompts for its password.
Note - The CMM ILOM logs on to the server module ILOM using the user name in /CH/BLn/SP/cli/user (where n is the server module number). The default is root. |
The ILOM CLI for the server module appears. You are now connected to the server module ILOM.
8. When you are done, type exit.
The server module ILOM exits and the CMM ILOM CLI prompt appears.
The following display shows an example of this procedure.
Connecting to ILOM Through a Dongle Cable (Option 3) |
A dongle cable enables you to connect a terminal directly to the ILOM. FIGURE 1-1 shows a dongle cable connected to a server module.
1. Connect a dongle cable directly to the server module.
2. Connect a terminal or terminal emulator to the RJ-45 connector on the dongle cable.
The RJ-45 connector is labelled “2” in FIGURE 1-1.
3. Enter the user name and password when prompted.
The default username is root and the default password is changeme.
FIGURE 1-1 shows the dongle cable.
1. Dual USB connector (keyboard/mouse)
2. 10/100 Mbit Ethernet. Use this connector to connect to the ILOM.
A procedure in the Sun Blade X6240 Server Module Service Manual (820-3971) describes how to reset the service processor and BIOS passwords.
The server module includes a number of sensors that generate entries in the system event log (SEL) when the sensor crosses a threshold. Many of these readings are used to adjust the fan speeds and perform other actions, such as illuminating LEDs and powering off the chassis.
Note - Fan and power supply sensors represent fans and power supplies in the chassis, not in the server module. |
You can also configure sensors to generate IPMI PET traps as, described in the Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager 3.0 Documentation Collection.
This section describes the sensors and provides details about their operation.
Caution - Do not use any interface other than the ILOM CLI or web interface to alter the state or configuration of any sensor or LED. Doing so could void your warranty. |
Sensor List lists the sensors. Sensor Details provides details about each sensor.
