A dialog appears prompting you to confirm the change.

c. Click OK to confirm the change.


procedure icon  Configure Clock Settings

Before You Begin

Follow these steps to configure clock settings:

1. Log in to the ILOM SP web interface or the CMM ILOM web interface.

2. Select Configuration --> Clock.

The Clock Settings page appears.

3. In the Clock Settings page, do one of the following:

4. To manually set the date and time of the host server SP, follow these steps:

a. In the Date text box, type the date in the format mm/dd/yy.

b. In the Time drop-down list boxes, set the hour and minutes.

c. Go to Step 6.

5. To configure an IP address of an NTP server and enable synchronization, follow these steps:

a. Select the Enabled check box next to Synchronize Time Using NTP.

b. In the Server 1 text box, type the IP address of the primary NTP server you want to use.

c. (Optional) In the Server 2 text box, type the IP address of the secondary NTP server you want to use.

6. Click Save for your changes to take effect.

Consult your Sun server platform user documentation for platform-specific clock information about whether:


procedure icon  Configure Timezone Settings

Before You Begin

Follow these steps to configure timezone settings:

1. Log in to the ILOM SP web interface or the CMM ILOM web interface.

2. Select Configuration --> Timezone.

The Timezone Settings page appears.

3. Select the timezone using the Timezone drop-down list.

Consult your Sun server platform user documentation for platform-specific clock information about whether:


procedure icon  Filter Event Log Output

Follow these steps to filter event log output:

1. Log in to the ILOM SP web interface or the CMM ILOM web interface.

2. Select System Monitoring --> Event Logs.

The Event Log page appears.

procedure icon  View and Clear the ILOM Event Log

Before You Begin

Follow these steps to view and clear the ILOM event log:

1. Log in to the ILOM SP web interface or the CMM ILOM web interface.

2. Select System Monitoring --> Event Logs.

The Event Log page appears.

3. In the Event Log page, perform any of the following:

Note that selecting a greater number of entries might cause the web interface to respond slower than selecting a fewer number of entries.



Note - The ILOM event log accumulates many types of events, including copies of IPMI entries. Clearing the ILOM event log will clear all entries in the log, including the IPMI entries. However, clearing the ILOM event log entries will not clear the actual entries posted directly to an IPMI log.



procedure icon  Configure Remote Syslog Receiver IP Addresses

Before You Begin

Follow these steps to configure remote syslog receiver IP addresses:

1. Log in to the ILOM SP web interface or the CMM ILOM web interface.

2. Select Configuration --> Syslog.

The Syslog page appears.


Syslog page

3. In the IP Address 1 and 2 fields, type the IP addresses for the two locations to which you want to send syslog data.

4. Click Save for your settings to take effect.


procedure icon  View and Clear Faults

Before You Begin

Follow these steps to view or clear faults using the ILOM web interface.

1. Log in to the ILOM SP web interface or the CMM ILOM web interface.

2. To view the status of faulted components detected by ILOM, do the following:

a. Click System Information --> Fault Management.

The Fault Management page appears, listing faulted components by ID, FRU, and TimeStamp.

b. To view additional information about the faulted component, click the faulted component ID.

Additional information about the faulted component appears in a dialog.



Note - Alternatively, you can view the fault status for a component on the Component Management page. In the Component Management page, select the component name to view the fault status information.


3. Fix or replace the faulted component in the system.

After fixing or replacing the faulted component, you should clear the fault status in ILOM.

4. To clear the status of faulted components shown in ILOM, do the following:

a. Click the System Information --> Components tab.

b. In the Component Management page, enable the radio button next to the faulted component, then select Clear Faults.
