Connecting to ILOM

This section describes how to connect to ILOM. It contains the following sections:

• Network Defaults
• Log In to ILOM Using a Serial Connection
• Log In to ILOM Using an Ethernet Connection
• Modify Network Settings
• Test IPv4 or IPv6 Network Configuration
• Exit ILOM

Network Defaults

The Sun Blade X6270 M2 Server Module supports dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 settings, which enable ILOM to fully operate in an IPv4 and IPv6 network environment. For IPv4 configurations, DHCP is enabled by default, allowing a DHCP server on the network to automatically assign network settings to the server module. For IPv6 configurations, IPv6 stateless auto-configuration is enabled by default, allowing an IPv6 router on the network to assign the network settings. In a typical configuration, you will accept these settings assigned by the DHCP server or IPv6 router.

The procedures in this section enable you to test that the assigned settings are working correctly and to establish a connection to ILOM locally and remotely. To connect locally, see Log In to ILOM Using a Serial Connection. To connect remotely, use the IP address, hostname, or IPv6 local link name assigned to the CMM or server module SP and follow the instructions in Log In to ILOM Using an Ethernet Connection.

This procedure does not require that you know the IP address of the CMM or server module SP. It does require that you have an ILOM Administrator account.It

1. Connect a serial device to the server module or CMM.

2. Ensure that the following serial communication settings are configured:

• 8N1: eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit
• 9600 baud
• Disable hardware flow control (CTS/RTS)

3. Press Enter to establish a connection between your serial console and ILOM.

4. Log in to the ILOM command-line interface (CLI) using an Administrator account.

SUNSP-<product serial number> login: root

Password: changeme

The ILOM CLI prompt (->) appears.

5. If you are logged in to ILOM on the CMM, navigate to the server module by typing:

-> cd /CH/BLn/SP

Where BLn represents the slot in which the server module is installed in the chassis.

This procedure requires that you have an ILOM Administrator account and that you know the IP address, hostname, or IPv6 local link name assigned to the CMM or the server module SP.

1. Using a secure shell (SSH) session, log in to ILOM by specifying your Administrator account user name and the IP address, hostname, or IPv6 local link name of the CMM or server module SP.

For example:

ssh username@host

or

ssh -l username host

Where host is either an IPv4 or IPv6 address, an IPv6 local link name, or a DNS hostname. Be sure to enclose an IPv6 address in brackets. For example: [fec0:a:8:b7:214:rfff:fe01:851d]

The ILOM password prompt appears.

2. Type a password for the Administrator account.

For example:

$ssh root@host

Password: changeme

The ILOM CLI prompt (->) appears.

3. If you are logged in to ILOM on the CMM, start a separate CLI session on the server module by typing this command:

-> start /CH/BLn/SP/cli

Where BLn represents the slot in which the server module is installed in the chassis.

If you want to modify the network settings currently configured for the server module, use the following procedure.

1. Log in to ILOM using one of the methods in Log In to ILOM Using a Serial Connection or Log In to ILOM Using an Ethernet Connection.

2. Perform the network configuration instructions that apply to your network environment, then test the network settings:

• To view or configure IPv4 network settings, perform Step 3 to Step 4 in this procedure.
• To view or configure IPv6 network settings, perform Step 5 to Step 8 in this procedure.
• To test the IPv4 or IPv6 network settings, see Test IPv4 or IPv6 Network Configuration.

3. For IPv4 network configurations, use the cd command to navigate to the /network directory:

-> cd /SP/network

4. Do one of the following:

• If you have a DHCP server on the network, type the show command to view the IPv4 network settings assigned to the server module by the DHCP server.
• If there is no DHCP server, or if you want to assign static IPv4 network settings, use the set command to assign values for the properties listed in the following table. For example:

->set pendingipdiscovery=static

->set pendingipaddress=10.8.183.106

->set pendingipnetmask=255.255.255.0

->set pendingipgateway=10.8.183.254

->set commitpending=true

5. For IPv6 network configurations, use the cd command to navigate to the /network/ipv6 directory:

-> cd /SP/network/ipv6

6. Type the show command to view the IPv6 network settings configured on the device.

For example, see the following sample output values for the IPv6 properties on a server SP device.

-> show
 
 /SP/network/ipv6
    Targets:
 
    Properties:
        state = enabled
        autoconfig = stateless
        dhcpv6_server_duid = (none)
        link_local_ipaddress = fe80::214:4fff:feca:5f7e/64
        static_ipaddress = ::/128
        ipgateway = fe80::211:5dff:febe:5000/128
        pending_static_ipaddress = ::/128
        dynamic_ipaddress_1 = fec0:a:8:b7:214:4fff:feca:5f7e/64
 
    Commands:
        cd
        show
 

7. To configure an IPv6 auto-configuration option, use the set command to specify the following auto-configuration property values:

8. To set a static IPv6 address, complete these steps:

a. Specify the following property values:

b. Commit the pending IPv6 static network parameters by typing the following command:

-> set commitpending=true

9. Test the IPv4 or IPv6 network configuration from ILOM using the Network Test Tools (Ping and Ping6).

For details, see Test IPv4 or IPv6 Network Configuration.

1. At the CLI prompt, type the show command to view the network test targets and properties.

For example, see the following output the shows the test target properties on a CMM device.

-> show
 
/CMM/network/test
   Targets:
 
   Properties:
       ping = (Cannot show property)
       ping6 = (Cannot show property)
 
   Commands:
       cd
       set
       show 

2. Use the set ping or set ping6 command to send a network test from the device to a specified network destination:

  To end an ILOM session, at the CLI prompt, type exit.

If you are logged in to the CMM, you must exit the ILOM session on the server module first, and then type exit again to end the ILOM session on the CMM.

Applying Main Power to the Server Module

To install an operating system or to fully operate the server module, you must apply main power to the server module host.

This section includes the following topics:

• Apply Main Power to Server SP and Host
• Power Off From Main Power
• Troubleshoot Server Power States

1. Verify that the OK/Power LED on the front panel of the server module is in the standby power mode.

In standby power state, the OK/Power LED on the front panel of the server module illuminates a standby blink (0.1 second on, 2.9 seconds off).

2. Press and release the recessed Power button on the server module front panel.

The OK/Power LED transitions from standby blink to slow blink while the host OS boots. When the host OS is booted, the LED transitions to a steady-on state.

  To power off the server module from main power mode, use one of the following two methods:

• Graceful shutdown - Press and release the Power button on the front panel.

This operation will cause any Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) enabled operating system to perform an orderly shutdown of the operating system. Servers not running ACPI-enabled operating systems will shut down to standby power mode immediately.

• Emergency shutdown - Press and hold the Power button for five seconds to force main power off and to enter standby power mode.

Each time a server module powers on in the Sun Blade 6000 Series chassis, it queries the CMM to ensure that there is enough power available from the power supply units (PSUs) to power on the server module. If there is not enough power to power on the server module, the SP denies the server module from receiving power (standby and main). If this situation occurs, the OK/Power LED on the front panel of the server module will remain off. To troubleshoot this power issue, follow these guidelines:

1. Review the ILOM event log messages to determine whether the server module has permission to power on. An event message is recorded in the log any time there is inadequate amount of power available from the PSUs to power on the server module.

For more information about the ILOM event log or monitoring power consumption, refer to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Documentation Collection (see Related Documentation for part numbers).

2. Ensure that the system chassis has the proper amount of power supplies installed to support powering on all the chassis components that are currently installed.

Refer to the system chassis documentation for information about the number of power supplies required to power on chassis components.

3. To avoid power loss, it is recommended that you use the default CMM power management settings in ILOM for power supplies.

For more information about power management, refer to the information about power management policy in the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Management (ILOM) 3.0 Concepts Guide (820-6410).

4. As needed, refer to the Oracle x86 Server Diagnostics Guide (820-6750) for instructions on how to run the start-up diagnostic tools provided with the Sun Blade X6270 M2 Server Module.
