ILOM Procedures

This chapter documents the following ILOM 2.0 procedures that are specific to the Sun Fire X4450 server.

Upgrading Your Firmware

If you have not upgraded your system to ILOM, refer to ELOM-to-ILOM Migration User’s Guide (820-4930).

Resetting the Root ILOM Password

If the password for the ILOM “root” user is lost, you can reset it to the factor default (“changeme”) using either of the following procedures.

Resetting the Password from the BIOS.

Resetting the Password Using the J33 Jumper.

Resetting the Password from the BIOS

This procedure uses the BIOS configuration screens to reset the ILOM “root” password. For more information on the BIOS configuration screens refer to the “BIOS Screens” appendix in the Sun Fire X4450 Server Service Manual.

1. Reboot the system.

2. When the Power-On Self Test (POST) screen appears, press F2 and wait for the BIOS configuration screen to appear.

3. Navigate to the Server tab and choose “Set AST2000 LAN Configuration.”

4. On the LAN Configuration screen, choose “Reset BMC Password”. You will be asked to confirm the reset.

5. Press F10 to save and exit.

The system reboots. The ILOM “root” password is now “changeme”.

Resetting the Password Using the J33 Jumper

Note - This procedure also clears any BIOS password.

When the system is powered on with the J33 jumper in place, the root ILOM password is set to the factory default (“changeme”) and any BIOS password is cleared. The procedure for resetting the password is as follows. Power down the system.

6. Put the J33 jumper in place.

7. Boot the system once with the jumper in place.

8. Power the system down.

9. Remove the J33 jumper.

For more details, including instructions on installing and removing the jumper, refer to the chapter on “Servicing Motherboard Components” in the Sun Fire X4450 Server Service Manual.

Note - If you leave the J33 jumper in place, the system will reset the ILOM root password and clear the BIOS root password on every boot.
