There are two ways to manage your system using the ILOM CLI. You can manage each indvidual blade directly, using the ILOM software preinstalled on each blade's service processor, or you can manage the whole system from the ILOM software preinstalled on the Chassis Monitoring Module. Managing your system from the system contoller provides you all the functionality of an individual service processor, with the additonal advantage of aggregated control of the blades, and control of other chassis-level components like system fans, power supplies, and the Chassis Monitoring Module itself. Managing the blades directly may be useful in troubleshooting a service processor or controlling access to specific blades in you have a multi-tenant system.
To increase secure access to ILOM, you must change the default password for
root
to a new, unique password. The default password is the same on all systems, therefore it is likely to be known to all users. For
information on changing passwords, see Modifyng a User Account.
You can access the ILOM command line remotely through a Secure Shell (SSH) connection. Secure Shell connections are enabled by default. Telnet connections are not supported. The following procedure shows an example using an SSH client on a UNIX system. Use an appropriate SSH client for your operating system.
Type this command to log in to ILOM:
$
ssh root@
spipaddress
Type your password when prompted.
The default user name is,
