Log In to the Active SP

Language:

After switching the facility circuit breakers on, one of the two SPs will assume the Active SP role, while the other SP assumes the Standby SP role. To continue with the installation, log in to the Oracle ILOM firmware through a serial connection to the Active SP.

Confirm that you have made serial connections to the two SPs and that the server is running on standby power.
See:
- Connect Terminals or Emulators to the SP SER MGT Ports
- Supply Power to the Server

Determine which terminal or terminal emulator is connected to the Active SP.

While both terminals display Oracle ILOM login prompts, the terminal connected to the Active SP displays system status messages while the Oracle ILOM firmware initializes. The following example system status messages are from a SPARC M7-16 server.

*** YOU CAN LOGIN NOW ***

Log in to the Active SP as root user with the changeme password.
The server includes a root user account that you use to log in to the Oracle ILOM software initially. This account has administrative privileges (read and write) for all Oracle ILOM features, functions, and commands.

Note - To prevent unauthorized access, change the root account password as soon as possible. Refer to the Oracle ILOM documentation for instructions.
```
ORACLE-SPX-SPMX-XXXXXXXXXX login: root
Password: changeme
```
Confirm that you are connected to the Active SP.
```
-> show /SP/redundancy status
status = Active
```
- If the command displays status = Active, you are logged in to the Active SP.
- If the command displays status = Standby, you are logged in to the Standby SP.
  
  Type exit to log out of the Standby SP, and then log in to the Active SP using the other terminal or terminal emulator.
- If the command displays status = Standalone, you are logged in to the Active SP, but the Standby SP has failed to respond or has failed to join the network.
  
  Refer to Servicing SPs in SPARC M8 and SPARC M7 Servers Service Manual for instructions on replacing the failed SP.
Continue the installation by assigning IP addresses to the SP components.
See Setting Oracle ILOM Network Addresses.
