View Component Information and Manage Inventory

The following procedures explain how to view component information. Both Administrators and Operators can view component information.

1. Log in to the ILOM CLI as an Administrator or Operator.

2. At the command prompt, type:

-> show component_name type

For example:

-> show /SYS/MB type
    Properties:
        type = Motherboard
    Commands:
        show 

The properties that display inventory information are outlined in the following list. The properties that you are able to view depend on the target type you use.

• fru_part_number
• fru_manufacturer
• fru_serial_number
• fru_name
• fru_description
• fru_version
• chassis_serial_number
• chassis_part_number
• product_name
• product_serial_number
• product_part_number
• customer_frudata

1. Log in to the ILOM web interface as an Administrator or Operator.

2. Select System Information --> Components.

The Component Management page appears.

3. Click on the name of a component in the Component Management Status table.

A dialog box appears with information about the selected component.

Perform an Action on a Component

In addition to viewing inventory, you can also perform the following actions on components:

• Prepare to Remove/Return to Service - See Remove and Replace Components.
• Enable/Disable - See Enable and Disable Components.
• Clear Fault - See Fault Management.

Remove and Replace Components

You can replace many components while a system is running by using a remove and replace procedure. The procedure involves removing and inserting modules into a system. Before removing a module from a system, you must prepare the module by using the ILOM CLI or web interface.

1. Log in to the ILOM CLI as an Administrator or Operator.

2. At the ILOM command prompt, type:

--> set <target> prepare_to_remove_action=true

For example:

-> set /CH/RFM0 prepare_to_remove_action=true
Set ’prepare_to_remove_action’ to ’true’

After you prepare the component for removal, you can verify that it is ready to be physically removed.

1. Log in to the ILOM CLI as an Administrator or Operator.

2. At the ILOM command prompt, type:

--> show <target> prepare_to_remove_status

For example:

-> show /CH/RFM0 prepare_to_remove_status
    Properties:
        prepare_to_remove_status = Ready|NotReady
    Commands:
        cd
        set
        show
        start
        stop

The Ready|NotReady statement in the example shows whether the device is ready to be removed.

If you have already prepared a component for removal, and you wish to undo the action, you can do so remotely.

1. Log in to the ILOM CLI as an Administrator or Operator.

2. At the ILOM command prompt, type:

--> set <target> return_to_service_action=true

For example:

-> set /CH/RFM0 return_to_service_action=true
Set ’return_to_service_action’ to ’true’

1. Log in to the ILOM web interface as an Administrator or Operator.

2. Select System Information --> Components.

The Component Management page appears.

Components without radio buttons cannot be removed.

4. From the Actions drop-down list, select Prepare to Remove.

1. Log in to the ILOM web interface as an Administrator or Operator.

2. Select System Information --> Components.

The Component Management page appears.

3. Select the radio button next to the component you want to return to service.

4. From the Actions drop-down list, select Return to Service.

Enable and Disable Components

Depending on your Sun Server platform, you may be able to enable or disable certain components. See your Sun server platform-specific documentation for more details.

1. Log in to the ILOM CLI as an Administrator.

2. At the ILOM command prompt, type:

-> set /SYS/MB/CMP0/P0/C0 component_state=enabled | disabled 

1. Log in to the ILOM web interface as an Administrator.

2. Select System Information --> Components.

The Component Management page appears.

3. Select the radio button next to the component you want to enable or disable.

4. From the Actions drop-down list, select either Enable or Disable.

Configure Policy Settings

Policies are settings that control the behavior of the system. Policies are shipped with system default settings, which you can easily modify using the ILOM CLI or web interface.

1. Log in to the ILOM CLI as an Administrator.

2. At the ILOM command prompt, type:

--> show /CMM/policy

For example

-> show /CMM/policy
 /CMM/policy
    Targets:
    Properties:
Policy1Name = enabled
Policy2Name = enabled
Policy2Name = enabled
    Commands:
        cd
        set
        show

3. At the ILOM command prompt, type:

--> set /CMM/policy

For example

-> set /CMM/Policy1Name=enabled

/CMM/Policy1Name=enabled

Depending on the Sun server platform you are using, you may have the ability to configure policy settings.

1. Log in to the ILOM web interface as an Administrator.

2. Select Configuration --> Policy.

The Policy Configuration window appears.

3. Select the radio button next to the policy that you want to modify.
