Service-Related ILOM Command Summary

The following table describes the ILOM shell commands most frequently used when performing service related tasks. The middle column identifies the ALOM CMT command that produces the same result.

Table 40 Service-Related Commands 

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=break
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 Solaris OS.

Takes the host server from the OS to either kmdb or OpenBoot PROM (equivalent to a Stop-A), depending on the mode 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 property=value

[where property is state, config, or script]

bootmode [normal] [reset_nvram] [config=configname] [bootscript=string]
Controls the host server OpenBoot PROM firmware method of booting.
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 /SYS/PS0 |

/SYS/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 | standby | diag | locked

setkeyswitch [-y] value

normal | standby | diag | locked

  • -y enables you to skip the confirmation question when setting the keyswitch to stby.

Sets the virtual keyswitch.
set /SYS/LOCATE value=value

[Fast_blink | Off]

setlocator value

[on | off]

Turns the Locator LED on the server on or off.
(No 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 FRU Information With the show Command.
show faulty
showfaults [-v]
Displays current system faults. See Faults Displayed by show faulty.
(No 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 FRU Information With the 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 /HOST
showplatform [-v]
Displays information about the operating state of the host system, the system serial number, and whether the hardware is providing service.
