There are two approaches to interacting with the service processor:
ILOM shell (default) – The ILOM shell provides access to ILOM's features and functions through a command-line interface.
ILOM browser interface – The ILOM browser interface supports the same set of features and functions as the shell, but through windows on a browser interface.
Note - Unless indicated otherwise, all examples of interaction with the service processor are depicted with ILOM shell commands.
Note - The CLI includes a feature that enables you to access Oracle Solaris Fault Manage commands, such as fmadm, fmdump, and fmstat, from within the Oracle ILOM shell. This feature is referred to as the Oracle ILOM faultmgmt shell. For more information about the Oracle Solaris Fault Manager commands, see the SPARC T3 Series Servers Administration Guide and the Oracle Solaris documentation.
You can log into multiple service processor accounts simultaneously and have separate ILOM shell commands executing concurrently under each account.
Set up your terminal device for 9600 baud, 8 bit, no parity, 1 stop bit and no handshaking, and use a null-modem configuration (transmit and receive signals crossed over to enable DTE-to-DTE communication). The crossover adapters supplied with the server provide a null-modem configuration.
The default ILOM login account is root with a default password changeme.
Example of logging in to the ILOM CLI:
ssh root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Password: Waiting for daemons to initialize... Daemons ready Oracle (R) Integrated Lights Out Manager Version 3.0.12.1 r57146 Copyright (c) 2010, Oracle and/or its affiliates, Inc. All rights reserved. Warning: The system appears to be in manufacturing test mode. Warning: password is set to factory default. ->
The ILOM -> prompt indicates that you are accessing the service processor with the ILOM CLI.
The following ILOM commands are commonly used for fault management:
Note - You can use fmadm faulty in the faultmgmt shell as an alternative to show faulty. See Check for Faults (fmadm faulty Command).
