On the server module, you communicate with the following items:
Host – the main processor on the server module that runs an OS. You communicate with the host by accessing the host console.
Service processor – an integrated processor used to configure, boot, and manage the host. You communicate with the service processor through the ILOM shell or ALOM CMT compatibility shell.
Note - To use the ALOM CMT compatibility shell, you must create an ILOM user account specifically configured to recognize ALOM CMT compatibility commands. See Creating an ALOM CMT Compatibility Account. |
This section describes how to access the host console and the service processor, and how to switch from one to the other.
This procedure assumes that you have connectivity to the service processor. Refer to the server module installation documentation for details.
Based on the shell you want to use (ILOM or ALOM CMT), at the ILOM login prompt, log into an account:
ILOM shell with superuser privileges – log in as root with the correct password. This account is created at the factory, and the password is created when the server module is initialized for the first time. This shell only recognizes ILOM commands. The prompt is ->.
ILOM shell – log in using any of the ILOM accounts that you have established.
ALOM CMT compatibility shell – log in using the account created for the ALOM CMT compatibility shell (see Creating an ALOM CMT Compatibility Account). Often, the account is called admin. This shell recognizes only ALOM CMT compatibility commands. The prompt is sc>.
ALOM CMT Compatibility shell example:
SUNSPxxxxxxxxxx login admin Password: Waiting for daemons to initialize... Daemons ready Sun(TM) Integrated Lights Out Manager Version 2.0.0.0 Copyright 2007 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All Rights reserved Use is subject to license terms sc> |
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.
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.
-> 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. |
Log out of the ILOM root account.
-> exit |
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.
