Method 2 – Power On the Host Through the CMM SER MGT Port (CLI)

You can access the server module SP by first accessing the chassis CMM ILOM through a terminal or terminal emulator connected to the RJ-45 serial port on the chassis. Then you can connect to the server module SP through the CLI of the CMM ILOM software.

1. Verify that the terminal, laptop, or terminal server that will connect to the chassis is operational.
2. Configure the terminal device or terminal emulation software with these settings:

   • 8N1 (eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit)

   • 9600 baud (the default, but can be set to any standard rate up to 57600)

   • Disable hardware flow control (CTS/RTS)

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

   Refer to the modular system chassis documentation for the location of the serial port.

   The serial port requires a cable with these 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)

4. Press Enter on the terminal device.

   The connection between the terminal device and the CMM is established.

   If you connected to the serial port before the powering on the modular system, you will see boot messages. The CMM ILOM software displays its login prompt:

   ORACLECMMnnnnnnnnnn login:

   The first string in the prompt is the default host name, which consists of the prefix ORACLECMM followed by the CMM ILOM MAC address. The MAC address for each CMM and SP is unique.

5. Log into ILOM on the CMM by typing your user name and password.

   The factory default ILOM root password is changeme, but might have been changed in your environment.

   You are now logged in to the CMM ILOM web interface.

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

   ->

6. Navigate to the server module:

   -> cd /CH/BLn/SP/cli

   Replace n with an integer that identifies the target server module (the slot for which the server module is installed).

7. Start the server module’s Oracle ILOM CLI:

   -> start 
   Are you sure you want to start /CH/BL0/SP/cli (y/n)? y
   start: Connecting to /CH/BL0/SP/cli using Single Sign On

   ---

   Note - The CMM ILOM logs into the server module ILOM using the user name in the user target under /CH/BLn/SP/cli (where n is the slot where the server module is installed).

   ---

8. If prompted for a password, enter the default password changeme.
9. At the Oracle ILOM prompt, type:

   -> start /SYS
   Are you sure you want to start /SYS (y/n)? y

   The server module initializes.

10. Switch communication to the server module host.

    When the ILOM prompt appears, type:

    -> start /HOST/console
    Are you sure you want to start /HOST/console (y/n)? y
    Serial console started. To stop, type #.

    The server module might take several minutes to complete POST. If a boot device installed with Oracle Solaris OS is accessible locally, the server module boots. Otherwise, the server module uses the boot net command to seek a boot device on the network.

    You are now connected to the server module host.

11. The server module hardware installation is now complete.

    You can now configure the Oracle Solaris OS to meet your needs. See Configuring the Oracle Solaris OS.
