Log In to Oracle ILOM (CLI)
The servers support 25 simultaneous login sessions. Use this method to log in to the Oracle ILOM CLI when you are logging in over the network.
-
Access a terminal device that is connected to the SP through the network.
-
Open one or more terminal sessions.
Use one of the terminal sessions to access and use the Oracle ILOM software. Use the other terminal session to access the host consoles if you plan to start the hosts, if they are not already running, and access Oracle Solaris (see Start a Host).
Note -
You can use one terminal session to access the Oracle ILOM CLI, start the host, and then start the host console. However, if you use this method, you will not see the initial startup messages. If you need to see those messages, you can review them in the console history log.
-
In the terminal sessions, log in to Oracle ILOM in one of the following ways:
-
If you are logging in with the default root account, type the following at the terminal prompt:
$ ssh root@IP-address-of-SP
You can also use the system identifier as in this example:
$ ssh root@system-identifier-sp
-
If you are logging in with a user account that was created for you by the system administrator, type the following at the system prompt:
$ ssh user@IP-address-of-SP
Note -
Normally, when you enter an IPv6 address or Link-Local IPv6 address, you must enclose the address within brackets. However, when you specify an IPv6 address to log in to Oracle ILOM using SSH, do not enclose the IPv6 address in brackets.
-
At the log-in prompt, if necessary type the password of your user account (for the default root account, this is changeme).
When the Oracle ILOM prompt is displayed (-> is the default prompt), you are connected to the SP and can now use Oracle ILOM to administer the server.
