How to Connect to ILOM Through the Chassis (CMM) Serial Connector

1. Connect a serial cable from the serial port on the chassis to a terminal device.

   The terminal device can be an actual terminal, a laptop running a terminal emulator, or a terminal server. It must be set to the following:

   • 8N1: eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit
   • 9600 baud (default, can be set to any standard rate up to 57600)
   • Disable software flow control (XON/XOFF)

     The cable requires the following pin assignments.

     
     

     Pin Signal Description 1 Request To Send (RTS) 2 Data Terminal Ready (DTR) 3 Transmit Data (TXD) 4 Ground 5 Ground 6 Receive Data (RXD) 7 Data Carrier Detect (DCD) 8 Clear To Send (CTS)

2. Press Enter on the terminal device.

   This establishes the connection between the terminal device and the CMM ILOM.

   The CMM ILOM login prompt appears.

   SUNCMMnnnnnnnnnn login:

   The first string in the prompt is the default host name. It consists of the prefix SUNCMM and the CMM ILOM’s SP address.

3. Log in to the CMM ILOM.

   The default user is root and the default password is changeme.

   Once you have successfully logged in, the CMM ILOM displays the ILOM default command prompt:

   ->

4. Navigate to /CH/NEMn/SP/cli.

   Where n is 0 through 1 for NEMs 0 through 1 respectively.

5. Enter the command start.

   A prompt appears.

6. Enter y to continue or n to cancel.

   If you entered y, the NEM ILOM prompts for its password.

   ---

   Note - The CMM ILOM logs on to the NEM ILOM using the username in /CH/NEMn/SP/cli/user (where n is the NEM number). The default is root.

   ---

7. Enter the ILOM password.

   The NEM ILOM’s CLI interface appears. You are now connected to the NEM ILOM.

8. When you are done, type exit.

   The NEM ILOM exits and the CMM ILOM CLI prompt appears.
