Access the SP (Oracle ILOM)

There are two approaches to interacting with the SP:

• Oracle ILOM shell (default) – The Oracle ILOM shell provides access to Oracle ILOM's features and functions through a command-line interface.

• Oracle ILOM browser interface – The Oracle ILOM browser interface supports the same set of features and functions as the shell, but through windows on a browser interface.

You can log into multiple SP accounts simultaneously and have separate Oracle ILOM shell commands executing concurrently under each account.

1. Establish connectivity to the SP, using one of the following methods:
   • SER MGT – Connect a terminal device (such as an ASCII terminal or laptop with terminal emulation) to the serial management port.

     Set up your terminal device for 9600 baud, 8 bit, no parity, 1 stop bit and no handshaking, and use a null-modem configuration (transmit and receive signals crossed over to enable DTE-to-DTE communication). The crossover adapters supplied with the server provide a null-modem configuration.

   • NET MGT – Connect this port to an Ethernet network. This port requires an IP address. By default, it is configured for DHCP, or you can assign an IP address.
2. Decide which interface to use:
   • Oracle ILOM CLI – The default Oracle ILOM UI and most of the commands and examples in this service manual use this interface. The default login account is root with a password of changeme.
   • Oracle ILOM web interface – Can be used when you access the SP through the NET MGT port and have a browser. Refer to the Oracle ILOM 3.0 documentation for details. This interface is not referenced in this service manual.
3. Log in to Oracle ILOM.

   The default Oracle ILOM login account is root with a default password changeme.

   Example of logging in to the Oracle ILOM CLI:

   ssh root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
   Password:
   Waiting for daemons to initialize...
   Daemons ready
   Oracle (R) Integrated Lights Out Manager
   Version 3.0.12.1 r57146
   Copyright (c) 2010, Oracle and/or its affiliates, Inc. All rights reserved.
   Warning: The system appears to be in manufacturing test mode.
   Warning: password is set to factory default.
   ->

   The Oracle ILOM -> prompt indicates that you are accessing the SP with the Oracle ILOM CLI.

4. Perform Oracle ILOM commands that provide the diagnostic information you need.

   The following Oracle ILOM commands are commonly used for fault management:

   • show command – Displays information about individual FRUs.

     See Display FRU Information (show Command).

   • show faulty command – Displays environmental, POST-detected, and PSH-detected faults.

     See Check for Faults (show faulty Command).

   • clear_fault_action property of the set command – Manually clears PSH-detected faults.

     See Clear Faults (clear_fault_action Property).

   Note - You can use fmadm faulty in the faultmgmt shell as an alternative to show faulty. See Check for Faults (fmadm faulty Command).
