View Sensor Readings
|
Follow these steps to view sensor readings:
1. Log in to the ILOM SP CLI or the CMM CLI.
2. Type the following commands to navigate to the sensor target and then to view the sensor properties:
->cd target
->show
For example, on some server platforms, you can specify the following path to view a temperature reading of a server’s ambient air intake:
->cd /SYS/T_AMB
->show
The properties describing the sensor target appear. For example:
type = Temperature
class = Threshold Sensor
value = 27.000 degree C
upper_nonrecov_threshold = 45.00 degree C
upper_critical_threshold = 40.00 degree C
upper_noncritical_threshold = 35.00 degree C
lower_noncritical_threshold = 10.00 degree C
lower_critical_threshold = 4.00 degree C
lower_nonrecov_threshold = 0.00 degree C
alarm_status = cleared
|
For specific details about the type of threshold sensor targets you can access, as well as the paths to access them, consult the user documentation provided with the Sun server platform.
3. To view a discrete sensor reading, type the following commands:
->cd target
->show
For example, on some Sun server platforms, you can determine whether a hard disk drive is present in slot 0 by specifying the following path:
->cd /SYS/HDD0_PRSNT
->show
The properties describing the discrete sensor target appear. For example:
- Type = Entity Presence
- Class = Discrete Indicator
- Value = Present
For specific details about the type of discrete sensor targets you can access, as well as the paths to access them, consult the user documentation provided with the Sun server platform.
Configure System Indicators
|
- To configure system indicators, you need the User Management (u) role enabled.
Follow these steps to configure system indicators:
1. Log in to the ILOM SP CLI or the CMM CLI.
2. To determine whether you can change the state of a system indicator, type the following commands:
->cd /SYS or cd /CH
->show
Targets, properties, and commands associated with the system indicator appear.
For example:
/SYS
Targets:
BIOS
OK2RM
SERVICE
Properties:
type = Host System
chassis_name = SUN BLADE 8000 CHASSIS
chassis_part_number = 602-3235-00
chassis_serial_number = 00:03:BA:CD:59:6F
chassis_manufacturer = SUN MICROSYSTEMS
fault_state = OK
clear_fault_action = (none)
power_state = Off
Commands:
cd
reset
set
show
start
stop
|
If the set command appears in the Commands list, you can modify the state of the system indicator.
3. To modify the state of the system indictor, type the following command:
->set property=state_name
For more information about which system indicators are supported on your system, and the paths for accessing them, consult the user documentation provided with the Sun server platform.
Configure Clock Settings
|
- To view and set clock settings, you need the Admin (a) role enabled.
Follow these steps to configure clock settings:
1. Log in to the ILOM SP CLI or the CMM CLI.
2. To view ILOM clock settings, type:
->show /SP/clock
3. To manually set the ILOM clock settings, type:
-> set target property_name=value
For example:
-> set /SP/clock datetime=MMDDhhmmYYYY
4. To configure the ILOM clock settings to synchronize with other systems on your network by setting an IP address of an NTP server:
a. To set the IP address of an NTP server, type the following command.
->set /SP/clients/ntp/server/1 address=ip_address
b. To enable NTP synchronization, type:
->set /SP/clock usentpserver=enabled
Consult your Sun server platform user documentation for platform-specific clock information about whether:
- The current time in ILOM persists across reboots of the SP.
- The current time in ILOM can be synchronized with the host at host boot time.
- There is a real-time clock element that stores the time.
Filter Event Log Output
|
Follow these steps to filter event log output:
1. Log in to the ILOM SP CLI or the CMM CLI.
2. At the command prompt, type the following:
-> show /SP/logs/event/list Class==(value) Type==(value) Severity==(value)
View and Clear the ILOM Event Log
|
- To view or clear the event log, you need the Admin (a) role enabled.
Follow these steps to view and clear the ILOM event log:
1. Establish a local serial console connection or SSH connection to the server SP or CMM.
2. Type one of the following commands to set the working directory:
- For a rackmounted server SP: cd /SP/logs/event
- For a blade server SP in chassis: cd /CH/BLn/SP/logs/event
- For a CMM: cd /CMM/logs/event
3. Type the following command to display the event log list:
->show list
The contents of the event log appear.
For example:

Configure Remote Syslog Receiver IP Addresses
|
- To configure remote syslog receiver IP addresses, you need the Admin (a) role enabled.
Follow these steps to configure remote syslog receiver IP addresses:
1. Establish a local serial console connection or SSH connection to the server SP or CMM.
2. Type one of the following commands to set the working directory:
- For a rackmounted server SP: cd /SP/clients/syslog
- For a blade server SP in chassis: cd /CH/BLn/SP/clients/syslog
- For a CMM: cd /CMM/clients/syslog
3. Type the show command to display the syslog properties.
The properties appear. For example, accessing the syslog properties for the first time on an SP would appear as follows:
/SP/clients/syslog/1
Targets:
Properties:
address = 0.0.0.0
Commands:
cd
set
show
|
4. Use the set command to identify a destination IP address for IP 1 (and, if applicable, IP 2).
For example, to set an IP destination to IP address 111.222.33.4, you would type:
->set destination_ip1=111.222.33.4
5. Press Enter for the setting to take effect.
The results of setting the IP address appear. For example, if you set the destination IP address to 111.222.33.4, the following would appear:
Set ‘destination_ip1’ to ‘111.222.33.4’
View and Clear Faults Using the CLI
|
- To clear faults in ILOM, the Admin (a) role must be enabled and the server SP or CMM must have ILOM firmware 3.0.3 or later installed.
Follow these steps to view and clear faults using the ILOM CLI.
1. Log in to the ILOM SP CLI or the CMM CLI.
2. To view a list of components that have been faulted, type:
- From a server:
->show /SP/faultmgmt
- From the CMM:
->show /CMM/faultmgmt
3. To display fault messages in the ILOM event log, type:
- From the server:
->show /SP/logs/event/list
- From the CMM:
->show /CMM/logs/event/list
4. Fix or replace the faulted component.
5. To clear a fault on a component, type the following command:
->set component_path clear_fault_action=true
Are you sure you want to clear component_path (y/n)? y
Set ’clear_fault_action’ to ’true’
|
Where component_path is one of the following faulted components:
- Processor
- Memory
- Motherboard
- Fan Module
- Power Supply
- CMM
- NEM
- PCI card
For example, to clear a processor fault, you would type the following:
->set /SYS/MB/P0 clear_fault_action=true
Are you sure you want to clear /SYS/MB/P0 (y/n)? y
Set ’clear_fault_action’ to ’true’

Note - The SP Console History Log feature is not available for use from the ILOM web interface.
|
For instructions about how to display log entries in the SP Console History Log file, see the following procedure.
Before You Begin
- You must have Console (c) role user account to display the entries stored in the SP Console History Log file.
- You must be using ILOM 3.0.8 or a later version of ILOM to view the SP Console History Log on Oracle x86 servers. Prior to ILOM 3.0.8, the SP Console History Log file was only viewable in ILOM on Oracle SPARC servers.
View and Manage SP Console History Log Entries Using the ILOM CLI
|
1. Log in to the ILOM SP CLI.
2. Use the show command to display the SP Console target, properties, and commands.
For example:
-> show /SP/console
/SP/console
Targets:
history
Properties:
line_count = 0
pause_count = 0
start_from = end
Commands:
cd
show
start
stop
->
|
3. Use the help command to view details about the SP Console target and properties.
For example:
-> help /SP/console
/SP/console: Redirection of console stream to SP
Targets:
history: console history
Properties:
line_count: total number of lines to display
line_count: Possible values = 0-2048 where 0 means no limit
line_count: User role required for set = c
pause_count: number of lines to display before each pause
pause_count: Possible values = 0-2048 where 0 means no limit
pause_count: User role required for set = c
start_from: from which end of the available history to list
start_from: Possible values = beginning,end
start_from: User role required for set = c
|
4. Use the set command to specify the property values that you want ILOM to use when displaying the entries in the SP Console History Log file.
For example:
set [target] <property>=<value> [<property>=<value>...]
- At the prompt, you would type the SP console target and one or more display property values as follows:
-> set /SP/console property=value
-> set /SP/console property=value property=value
-> set /SP/console property=value property=value property=value
Where property and value can be any of the following parameters specified in the following table.
Property

Values
|
Example
|
line_count
|
Accepts a line value within the range of 0 to 2048, where 0 means no limit.
Note - The default value for line_count is 0.
|
To specify ILOM to display four lines of the SP Console History Log, you would type:
-> set /SP/console line_count=4
|
pause_count
|
Accepts a pause value within the range of 0 to 2048, where 0 means not to pause the display.
Note - The default value for pause_count is 0.
|
To specify ILOM to display four lines of the SP Console History Log and pause the display after displaying two lines, you would type:
-> set /SP/console line_count=4 pause_count=2
