Oracle ILOM-to-ALOM CMT Command Reference

The following table describes the typical commands for servicing a server. For descriptions of all ALOM CMT commands, issue the help command or refer to the following documents:

Oracle ILOM Command	ALOM CMT Command	Description
`help` `[command]`	help [`command`]	Displays a list of all available commands with syntax and descriptions. Specifying a command name as an option displays help for that command.
`set /HOST/send_break_action true`	break [`-y`][`-c`][`-D`] `-y` skips the confirmation question. `-c` executes a `console` command after the `break` command completes. `-D` forces a core dump of the Oracle Solaris OS.	Takes the host server from the OS to either `kmdb` or OpenBoot PROM (equivalent to a Stop-A), depending on the mode Oracle Solaris software was booted.
`set /SYS/component/clear_fault_action true`	clearfault `UUID`	Manually clears host-detected faults. The `UUID` is the unique fault ID of the fault to be cleared.
`start /SP/console`	console [-f] `-f` forces the console to have read and write capabilities.	Connects you to the host system.
`show /SP/console/history`	consolehistory [-b `lines`\|-e `lines`\|-v] [-g `lines`] [boot\|run] The following options enable you to specify how the output is displayed: `-g` `lines` specifies the number of lines to display before pausing. `-e` `lines` displays `n` lines from the end of the buffer. `-b` `lines` displays `n` lines from the beginning of the buffer. `-v` displays the entire buffer. `boot\|run` specifies the log to display (`run` is the default log).	Displays the contents of the system’s console buffer.
`set /HOST/bootmode/value`[normal\|reset_nvram\|bootscript=`string`]	bootmode `value` [normal\|reset_nvram\| bootscript=`string`]	Enables control of the firmware during system initialization with the following options: `normal` is the default boot mode. `reset_nvram` resets OpenBoot PROM parameters to their default values. `bootscript=string` enables the passing of a string to the `boot` command.
`stop/SYS; start/SYS`	powercycle [`-f`] The `-f` option forces an immediate poweroff. Otherwise the command attempts a graceful shutdown.	Performs a `poweroff` followed by `poweron`.
`stop/SYS`	poweroff [`-y`] [`-f`] `-y` enables you to skip the confirmation question. `-f` forces an immediate shutdown.	Powers off the host server.
`start/SYS`	poweron [-c] `-c` executes a `console` command after completion of the `poweron` command.	Powers on the host server.
`set /SYS/PSx`/prepare_to_remove_action true	removefru PS0\|PS1	Indicates if it is okay to perform a hot-swap of a power supply. This command does not perform any action. But this command provides a warning if the power supply should not be removed because the other power supply is not enabled.
`reset /SYS`	reset [`-y`] [-c] `-y` enables you to skip the confirmation question. `-c` executes a `console` command after completion of the `reset` command.	Generates a hardware reset on the host server.
`reset /SP`	resetsc [`-y`] `-y` enables you to skip the confirmation question.	Reboots the service processor.
`set /SYS/keyswitch_state` `value` `normal \| stby \| diag \| locked`	`setkeyswitch` `[-y]` `value` `normal` \| `stby` \| `diag` \| `locked` `-y` enables you to skip the confirmation question when setting the keyswitch to `stby`.	Sets the virtual keyswitch.
`set /SUS/LOCATE value=value` [`Fast_blink` \| `Off`]	setlocator `value` [`on` \| `off`]	Turns the Locator LED on the server on or off.
(No Oracle ILOM equivalent.)	showenvironment	Displays the environmental status of the host server. This information includes system temperatures, power supply, front panel LED, hard drive, fan, voltage, and current sensor status. See Display Individual Component Information (Oracle ILOM `show` Command).
`show faulty`	showfaults [`-v`]	Displays current system faults. See Detecting Faults.
(No Oracle ILOM equivalent.)	showfru [`-g` `lines`] [`-s` \| `-d`] [`FRU`] `-g` `lines` specifies the number of lines to display before pausing the output to the screen. `-s` displays static information about system FRUs (defaults to all FRUs, unless one is specified). `-d` displays dynamic information about system FRUs (defaults to all FRUs, unless one is specified). See Display Individual Component Information (Oracle ILOM `show` Command).	Displays information about the FRUs in the server.
`show /SYS/keyswitch_state`	showkeyswitch	Displays the status of the virtual keyswitch.
`show /SYS/LOCATE`	showlocator	Displays the current state of the Locator LED as either on or off.
`show /SP/logs/event/list`	showlogs [`-b` `lines` \| `-e` `lines` `\| -v]` [`-g` `lines`] [`-p logtype[r\|p]]`]	Displays the history of all events logged in the service processor event buffers (in RAM or the persistent buffers).
`show /SYS`	showplatform [`-v`]	Displays information about the operating state of the host system, the system serial number, and whether the hardware is providing service.

The following table shows typical combinations of ALOM CMT variables and associated POST modes.

Parameter	Normal Diagnostic Mode (Default Settings)	No POST Execution	Diagnostic Service Mode	Keyswitch Diagnostic Preset Values
`diag mode`	`normal`	Off	`service`	`normal`
`keyswitch_state`	`normal`	`normal`	`normal`	`diag`
`diag_level`	`max`	N/a	`max`	`max`
`diag_trigger`	`power-on-reset error-reset`	None	`all-resets`	`all-resets`
`diag_verbosity`	`normal`	N/a	`max`	`max`
Description of POST execution	This is the default POST configuration. This configuration tests the system thoroughly, and suppresses some of the detailed POST output.	POST does not run, resulting in quick system initialization. This is not a suggested configuration.	POST runs the full spectrum of tests with the maximum output displayed.	POST runs the full spectrum of tests with the maximum output displayed.
