Before You Begin

Prior to performing the procedures in this chapter, you should ensure that the following requirements are met.

Before you can use SNMP to view and configure ILOM settings, you must configure SNMP. For more information, see Preparing Your System to Use SNMP.

To execute the snmpset command, you need to use an SNMP v1 or v2c community or an SNMP v3 user with read/write (rw) privileges.

For examples of SNMP commands, see SNMP Command Examples.

Note - The example SNMP commands presented in this section are based on the Net-SNMP sample applications and, therefore, will only work as presented if you have Net-SNMP and the Net-SNMP sample applications installed.

View and Configure Policy Settings

Note - You can use the get and set commands to view and configure policy settings. For a description of the MIB objects used in these commands, see the SUN-ILOM-CONTROL-MIB.

1. Log in to a host that has an SNMP tool and the ILOM MIBs installed. For example, type:

ssh username@snmp_manager_ipaddress

Password: password

2. Refer to the following SNMP command examples:

To view a short description of the policy for policy ID number 2, type:

% snmpget -mALL -v2c -cprivate SNMP_agent_ipaddress ilomCtrlPolicyShortStr.2

To view a verbose description of the policy for policy ID number 2, type:

% snmpget -mALL -v2c -cprivate SNMP_agent_ipaddress ilomCtrlPolicyLongStr.2

To view the status of the policy for policy ID number 2, type:

% snmpget -mALL -v2c -cprivate SNMP_agent_ipaddress ilomCtrlPolicyEnabled.2

To set the status of the policy for policy ID number 2 enabled, type:

% snmpset -mALL -v2c -cprivate SNMP_agent_ipaddress ilomCtrlPolicyEnabled.2 i 1

Configure Power Setting

Note - You can use the set command to configure the power setting. For a description of the MIB object used in this command, see the SUN-ILOM-CONTROL-MIB.

1. Log in to a host that has an SNMP tool and the ILOM MIBs installed. For example, type:

ssh username@snmp_manager_ipaddress

Password: password

2. Refer to the following SNMP command example:

To specify the action “powerOn” and apply it to the power control target named ‘/SYS’, type:

% snmpset -mALL -v2c -cprivate SNMP_agent_ipaddress ilomCtrlPowerAction.’/SYS’ i 1

View and Configure Backup and Restore Settings

Note - You can use the get and set commands to view and configure backup and restore settings. For a description of the MIB objects used in these commands, see the SUN-ILOM-CONTROL-MIB.

1. Log in to a host that has an SNMP tool and the ILOM MIBs installed. For example, type:

ssh username@snmp_manager_ipaddress

Password: password

2. Refer to the following SNMP command examples:

To restore the configuration on the SP to the original factory default state, type:

% snmpset -mALL -v2c -cprivate SNMP_agent_ipaddress ilomCtrlResetToDefaultsAction.0 i 3

To view the target destination of configuration XML file during backup and restore operation, type:

% snmpget -mALL -v2c -cprivate SNMP_agent_ipaddress lomCtrlBackupAndRestoreTargetURI.0

To set the target destination of configuration XML file during the backup and restore operation to tftp://10.8.136.154/remotedir/config_backup.xml, type:

% snmpset -mALL -v2c -cprivate SNMP_agent_ipaddress lomCtrlBackupAndRestoreTargetURI.0 s ‘tftp://10.8.136.154/remotedir/config_backup.xml’

To set the passphrase to encrypt or decrypt sensitive data during the backup and restore operation, type:

% snmpset -mALL -v2c -cprivate SNMP_agent_ipaddress ilomCtrlBackupAndRestorePassphrase.0 s ‘passphrase’

To view the property used to issue a action, either backup or restore, type:

% snmpget -mALL -v2c -cprivate SNMP_agent_ipaddress ilomCtrlBackupAndRestoreAction.0

To issue a restore action using the ilomCtrlBackupAndRestoreAction MIB object, type:

% snmpset -mALL -v2c -cprivate SNMP_agent_ipaddress ilomCtrlBackupAndRestoreAction.0 i 2

To monitor the current status of backup or restore operation, type:

% snmpget -mALL -v2c -cprivate SNMP_agent_ipaddress ilomCtrlBackupAndRestoreActionStatus.0

Configure the Reset Setting

Note - You can use the set command to configure the reset setting. For a description of the MIB objects used in this command, see the SUN-ILOM-CONTROL-MIB.

1. Log in to a host that has an SNMP tool and the ILOM MIBs installed. For example, type:

ssh username@snmp_manager_ipaddress

Password: password

2. Refer to the following SNMP command example:

To specify the action “reset” and apply it to the reset control target named ‘/SP’, type:

% snmpset -mALL -v2c -cprivate SNMP_agent_ipaddress ilomCtrlResetAction.’/SP’ i 1
