Connecting to the ELOM |
This chapter details the ways to connect and communicate with your Sun Blade X6250 server module.
There are two ways to connect to the Embedded Lights Out Manager (ELOM) in your server:
Ethernet connectivity provides full access to both the ELOM command-line interface (CLI) and the ELOM web GUI. Both options allow you to manage and maintain the server. This section contains the following two connection procedures:
Note - You will need the IP address of your ELOM, which you obtained during the setup and installation of your server module (see the Sun Blade X6250 Server Module Installation Guide). |
Be sure that you have connected a LAN to the NET MGT 0 port on the chassis.
When you first access the CLI, you will need to use the preconfigured user name and password:
2. To log in to the ELOM, enter the following command:
username An account user name.
ipaddress The IP address of the ELOM.
3. When prompted, enter the password.
For information about managing the server using the CLI, see Chapter 6.
To log out of the CLI, enter the following command:
Be sure that you have connected a LAN to the NET MGT 0 port on the chassis.
1. To log in to the web GUI, enter the IP address of the ELOM into your browser.
2. Enter your user name and password.
When you first access the web GUI, it prompts you for the default user name and password:
The default user name and password are in lowercase characters.
Chapter 3 shows how to use the web GUI.
Click Log Out at the top right of the web GUI screen.
The chassis serial connector connects to the Chassis Management Module’s (CMM) Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM). You can connect to the server module ELOM via this serial connection using a RJ-45 cable and a terminal (or a PC running terminal emulation software). Once connected, you can use the command-line interface (CLI) to manage, maintain, and configure the server.
1. Verify that your terminal, laptop, or terminal server is operational.
2. Configure the terminal device or the terminal emulation software to use the following settings:
3. Connect a serial cable from the serial port on the CMM to the terminal device.
Refer to the chassis documentation for the location of the chassis serial port.
4. Press Enter on the terminal device.
This action establishes the connection between the terminal device and the CMM ILOM.
The CMM ILOM displays its login prompt:
The first string in the prompt is the default host name. It consists of the prefix SUNCMM and the CMM ILOM’s MAC address. The MAC address for each service processor is unique.
When you first access the CLI, you will need to use the preconfigured user name and password:
Once you have successfully logged in, the CMM ILOM displays its default command prompt:
You are now connected to the CMM ILOM CLI.
6. Navigate to the server module ELOM by entering this command:
n The position number of the server module in the chassis. Use FIGURE 2-1 to assist you in determining the server module number, and to understand the relationship between the CMM and different server module service processors.
FIGURE 2-1 Chassis and Server Module ELOM Address Identifiers
If you enter N, the server module will return you to the CMM CLI prompt.
9. Enter the password when prompted.
Supply the password for root. The preconfigured default is changeme.
The server module ELOM prompt appears.
For information about managing and maintaining the server module, see Chapter 6.
10. When you are finished, enter exit at the ELOM CLI prompt.
