Storing Customer Information Using the SP

This section describes ILOM features that enable you to store information (for purposes such as inventory control or site resource management) on the SP and FRU PROMs.

To Change System Identification Information Using the CLI

Use the /SP system_identifier property to store customer identification information.

At the -> prompt, type:
-> set /SP system_identifier=data

To Change Customer Identification Information Using the Web Interface

Log into the ILOM web interface as Administrator (root) to open the web interface.

Select System Information --> Identification Information.

FIGURE 2-1 ILOM Identification Information Window

View the SP Hostname.

Edit the SP System Identifier field.

Click Save.

Changing Service Processor Settings to Factory Defaults

This section describes how to set service processor settings back to the factory defaults.

To Reset the Service Processor Settings to Factory Default Values Using the CLI

Use the reset_to_defaults property to set all ILOM configuration properties back to their factory default values. The all option sets the ILOM configuration and all user information back to the factory default values.

At the -> prompt, type:
-> set /SP reset_to_defaults=all
where reset_to_defaults can be set to one of the following:
- none – Make no changes.
- configuration – Preserve the user database.
- all – Reset (clear) the user database.

Reset the service processor so that the new property value can take effect.

To Reset the Service Processor Settings to Factory Defaults Using the Web Interface

Log into the ILOM web interface as Administrator (root) to open the web interface.

Select Maintenance --> Configuration Management.

Select a Reset Defaults value.

Managing SSH Server Settings

Use the procedures in this section to manage the SSH server settings.

To Change the Type of SSH Keys Using the CLI

Use the set /SP/services/ssh generate_new_key_type command to change the type of Secure Shell (SSH) host keys generated on your server. After changing the type, use the set /SP/services/ssh generate_new_key_action command to generate a new set of keys of the new type.

At the -> prompt, type:

-> set /SP/services/ssh generate_new_key_type=value

where value can be rsa or dsa.

To Generate a New Set of SSH Keys Using the CLI

Use the set /SP/services/ssh generate_new_key_action command to generate a new set of Secure Shell (SSH) host keys.

At the -> prompt, type:

-> set /SP/services/ssh generate_new_key_action=true

To Restart the SSH Server Using the CLI

Use the set /SP/services/ssh restart_sshd_action command to restart the SSH server after you have generated new host keys using the set /SP/services/ssh generate_new_key_action command. This reloads the keys into the server’s dedicated data structure in memory.

At the -> prompt, type:

-> set /SP/services/ssh restart_sshd_action=true

To Enable or Disable the Remote Connection Using the CLI

Use the /SP/services/ssh state property with the set command to enable or disable the remote connection.

At the -> prompt, type:
-> set /SP/services/ssh state=value
where value is enabled or disabled.

To Manage SSH Server Settings Using the Web Interface

Log into the ILOM web interface as Administrator (root) to open the web interface.

Select Configuration --> SSH Server Settings.

FIGURE 2-3 ILOM SSH Server Settings

Select an action from the SSH server pulldown menu.

Click Generate RSA Key or Click Generate DSA Key to generate a new key type and a new key.

If you have generated a new key, restart the SSH server for the new key to take effect.

Note - When the SSH server is restarted or disabled, any CLI sessions running over SSH will be terminated immediately.

Managing Alarms Indicators

The alarm indicators are managed using the ILOM CLI or web interface, or the IPMItool utility. Setting an alarm indicator to ON enables the corresponding alarm on the rear panel alarm port and the front panel alarm LED. Use the following procedures to set or reset an alarm.

To Set an Alarm Indicator On or Off Using the CLI

Use the /SYS/ALARM/ value property with the set command to set an alarm on or off.

At the -> prompt, type one of the following commands:

-> set /SYS/ALARM/CRITICAL value=state
-> set /SYS/ALARM/MAJOR value=state
-> set /SYS/ALARM/MINOR value=state
-> set /SYS/ALARM/USER value=state

where state is on or off.

To Reset an Alarm Indicator Using Web Interface

The ILOM web interface only allows you to turn off an alarm indicator that has been turned on.

Select System Monitoring -> Indicators.

FIGURE 2-4 ILOM System Monitoring

Select the radio button next to that indicator, then choose an option from the Action drop down list.

Click Save.

To Get Status for All Alarm Indicators

Type:
ipmitool -H ilom_ipaddr -U user -P password sunoem sbled get all
where ilom_ipaddr is the server’s ILOM IP address, user is the user name, password is the password.

To Get Status for a Single Alarm Indicator

Type:
ipmitool -H ilom_ipaddr -U user -P password sunoem sbled get alarm
where ilom_ipaddr is the server’s ILOM IP address, user is the user name, password is the password, and alarm values are CRITICAL_ALARM, MAJOR_ALARM, MINOR_ALARM, or USER_ALARM.

To Turn Off an Alarm Indicator

Type:
ipmitool -H ilom_ipaddr -U user -P password sunoem sbled set alarm off
where ilom_ipaddr is the server’s ILOM IP address, user is the user name, password is the password, and alarm values are CRITICAL_ALARM, MAJOR_ALARM, MINOR_ALARM, or USER_ALARM.

To Turn On an Alarm Indicator

Type:
ipmitool -H ilom_ipaddr -U user -P password sunoem sbled set alarm on
where ilom_ipaddr is the server’s ILOM IP address, user is the user name, password is the password, and alarm values are CRITICAL_ALARM, MAJOR_ALARM, MINOR_ALARM, or USER_ALARM.
