ALOM CMT Shell

This appendix provides the following ILOM and ALOM CMT administrative procedures:

Accessing and Switching Between Service Processor and Host

On the server module, you communicate with the following items:

This section describes how to access the host console and the service processor, and how to switch from one to the other.

procedure icon  To Access the Service Processor

This procedure assumes that you have connectivity to the service processor. Refer to the server module installation documentation for details.

procedure icon  To Switch Between the Service Processor and Host Console

  1. To switch from the service processor to the host console, type console:

    • From the ILOM shell:


      -> console
host>

    • From the ALOM CMT compatibility shell:


      sc> console
host>

  2. To switch from the console to the service processor, type hash-period (#.):

    You are switched to either the ALOM CMT compatibility shell or the ILOM shell, depending on the account that you previously accessed.


    host> #.

procedure icon  To Log Out of the Service Processor

Creating an ALOM CMT Compatibility Account

By default, you communicate with the service processor on the server module using ILOM commands. However, you can create a special user account that enables you to communicate using ALOM CMT compatibility commands. The ILOM and ALOM CMT command sets are different, but they generally provide the same or similar functions.

For a list of ILOM and ALOM CMT compatibility shell commands, refer to the ILOM supplement document for the server module.

The following procedure describes how to create an account that provides access to the ALOM CMT compatibility shell.

procedure icon  To Create an Account for the ALOM CMT Compatibility Shell

  1. At the ILOM login prompt, log in as root.

  2. Create an ILOM user account and set the account roles to Administrator and the CLI mode to alom.

    The following example uses a typical account name of admin for the ALOM CMT compatibility shell.

    Example:


    -> create /SP/users/admin role=Administrator cli_mode=alom
creating user
Enter new password: *********
Enter new password again: *********
Created /SP/users/admin


    Note - The asterisks in the example will not appear when you enter your password.


  3. Log out of the ILOM root account.

    Example:


    -> exit

    The ILOM login prompt is displayed.

  4. To access the ALOM CMT compatibility shell, log in using the name and password you created.

    At this point, you run ALOM CMT compatibility commands. For a list of commands, refer to the ILOM supplement document for the server module.
