Use this chapter as a quick reference for ILOM login and logout procedures. For additional information, refer to the initial login process and procedures in the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Getting Started Guide.
Prior to performing the procedures in this chapter, ensure that the following requirements are met:
For instructions about how to connect a nework cable to the server’s NET MGT port or a device to the server’s SER MGT port, refer to the installation guide provided with your server or CMM. For details about how to connect to ILOM directly from the host operating system (without the need for a physical connection to the server SER MGT port or NET MGT port) , see the topic about Local Interconnect Interface in the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Concepts Guide.
Note - As of ILOM 3.0.12, network configuration settings for dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 are provided. Prior to ILOM 3.0.12, network configuration settings for IPv4 are provided. |
For instructions about creating and managing user accounts in ILOM using the CLI, seeManaging User Accounts.
|
1. Using a Secure Shell (SSH) session, log in to the ILOM CLI by specifying the default root user account, and IP address of the server SP or CMM.
$ ssh root@system_ipaddress
If ILOM is operating in a dual-stack network environment, the system_ipaddress can be entered using either an IPv4 or IPv6 address format. For example,
For more information about entering IP addresses in a dual-stack environment, see Server SP or CMM Network Addresses Accepted by ILOM CLI. For help with diagnosing IPv4 and IPv6 connection issues, see Diagnosing IPv4 or IPv6 ILOM Connection Issues.
The system prompts you for a password.
2. Type changeme as the default password.
Password: changeme
The ILOM CLI prompt appears (->).
Note - As of ILOM 3.0.4, you can set the amount of time a CLI session can remain idle before the session times out and closes. For instructions, see Set a Timeout Value for a CLI Session. |
|
After you have logged in to ILOM, you need to create a regular (non-root) user account.
To set up a user account, follow this step:
Set up a user account in one of these five classes of users:
You can create up to 10 local user accounts or configure a directory service. For information about setting up a user account, see Managing User Accounts.
|
Note - Use this procedure to log in to ILOM to verify that the user account or directory service is functioning properly. |
1. Using a Secure Shell (SSH) session, log in to ILOM by specifying your user name and IP address of the server SP or CMM.
$ ssh username@ipaddress
The system prompts you for your ILOM password.
The ILOM CLI prompt appears (->).
|
Note - The Admin (a) role is required to change the cli timeout configuration variable. You must be using ILOM 3.0.4 or a later version of ILOM. |
1. Log in to the ILOM SP CLI or the CMM CLI.
2. To view the current settings, type:
3. To set the timeout value, type the following command:
Where n is a number between 0 and 1440.
Note - 0 (zero) indicates that the CLI session timeout is disabled, so that the CLI session will not close regardless of the amount of time the session is idle. |
For example, to set the timeout value to 60 minutes, type:
-> set /SP/cli timeout=60 Set ‘timeout’ to ‘60’
|
1. Log in to the ILOM SP CLI or the CMM CLI.
2. Use the show command to display the current banner properties and supported commands.
-> show /SP/preferences/banner /SP/preferences/banner Targets: Properties: connect_message = (none) login_message = (none) login_message_acceptance = disabled Commands: cd set show |
3. To create a banner message, perform any of the following tasks:
4. To enable the system to display the banner messages, type:
-> set /SP/preferences/banner/ login_message_acceptance=enabled
5. To disable the system from displaying the banner messages type:
-> set /SP/preferences/banner/ login_message_acceptance=disabled
|
To log out of ILOM, follow this step:
-> exit
|
You can use the preconfigured default user account to recover a lost password or to re-create the root user account. For more information about the root and default user accounts, refer to “root and default User Accounts” in the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Concepts Guide.
To recover a lost password, follow these steps:
1. Log in to an ILOM serial console using the default user account.
SUNSP-0000000000 login: defaultPress and release the physical presence button.Press return when this is completed...
2. Prove physical presence at your server.
Refer to your platform documentation for instructions on how to prove physical presence.
3. Return to your serial console and press Enter.
You will be prompted for a password.
4. Type the password for the default user account: defaultpassword
Note - It is recommended that you reset your password at this time. See Change a User Account Password. |
After you have logged in to ILOM and set up a user account, you are now ready to configure settings for ILOM functions. The remaining chapters in the Oracle ILOM 3.0 CLI Procedures Guide provide descriptions of the tasks you can perform to access ILOM functions.
