Getting Server Firmware and Software Updates
Use the chassis Oracle ILOM CMM to:
Display a server module service processor network configuration that includes the server module Oracle ILOM SP IP address.
Verify that you can access a server module's Oracle ILOM SP through Oracle ILOM CMM.
Verify that a server module's Oracle ILOM is working correctly.
To display the server module Oracle ILOM SP IP Address (CLI) by using the chassis Oracle ILOM CMM:
Connected to the network through the Ethernet management port.
Configured
Operational
For example, type:
$ ssh username@CMMIPaddress
where username is a user account with Administrator privileges and the CMMIPaddress is the IP address of the Oracle ILOM CMM. The default Oracle ILOM Administrator account user name is root.
After successful log in to Oracle ILOM CMM, the Oracle ILOM prompt (->) appears.
-> show /CH/BL0/SP/network
where BL0 represents a Sun Blade X4-2B slot 0 in the chassis.
Oracle ILOM CMM displays properties of the server module, including its IP address and MAC address. The following example shows blade 0 server module information:
-> show /CH/BL0/SP/network /CH/BL0/SP/network Targets: interconnect ipv6 test Properties: commitpending = (Cannot show property) dhcp_server_ip = 10.134.210.11 ipaddress = 10.134.210.152 ipdiscovery = dhcp ipgateway = 10.134.210.254 ipnetmask = 255.255.255.0 macaddress = 00:21:28:BB:D7:22 managementport = /SYS/SP/NET0 outofbandmacaddress = 00:21:28:BB:D7:22 pendingipaddress = 10.134.210.152 pendingipdiscovery = dhcp pendingipgateway = 10.134.210.254 pendingipnetmask = 255.255.255.0 pendingmanagementport = /SYS/SP/NET0 sidebandmacaddress = 00:21:28:BB:D7:23 state = enabled Commands: cd set show ->
For example: ipaddress = 10.134.210.152.
You need to know the SP IP address to log in directly to a server module Oracle ILOM.
By default, the IP address of the server module SP is configured using DHCP.
-> exit
