Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 CLI Procedures Guide

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.

Before Your Initial Login

Prior to performing the procedures in this chapter, ensure that the following requirements are met:

• Review the topics about establishing communication with ILOM in the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Concepts Guide.
• In order to communicate with ILOM, you must establish a physical serial or network management connection on the system (server SP or CMM). Or, connect to ILOM from the host operating system by using the Local Interconnect Interface feature provided on some server platforms.

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.

• ILOM, by default, uses DHCP to learn the IPv4 address of the server SP (or CMM) and IPv6_Stateless to learn the IPv6 address of the server SP (or CMM). If these default network settings for obtaining an IP address for the server SP (or CMM) do not apply to your network environment, you will need to modify these settings prior to logging in to ILOM. For instructions about modifying the network settings in ILOM using the CLI, seeConfiguring Network Settings.

• You will need a user account and password to log in to ILOM. However, if you are the system administrator and you are logging in to ILOM for the first time, you can use default user account (root) and password (password) to log in. After logging in to ILOM for the first time, it is highly recommended that you establish new (non-root) user accounts and passwords for each ILOM user.

For instructions about creating and managing user accounts in ILOM using the CLI, seeManaging User Accounts.

Logging In to ILOM

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.

For example:

$ 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,

• IPv4 address format: 10.8.183.106

or

• IPv6 address format: fec0:a:8:b7:214:4fff:5eca:5f7e/64

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.

For example:

Password: changeme

The ILOM CLI prompt appears (->).

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:

• Local users
• Active Directory users
• LDAP users
• LDAP/SSL users
• RADIUS 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.

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.

For example:

$ ssh username@ipaddress

The system prompts you for your ILOM password.

2. Type your ILOM password.

Password: password

The ILOM CLI prompt appears (->).

1. Log in to the ILOM SP CLI or the CMM CLI.

2. To view the current settings, type:

-> show /SP/cli

3. To set the timeout value, type the following command:

-> set /SP/cli timeout=n

Where n is a number between 0 and 1440.

For example, to set the timeout value to 60 minutes, type:

-> set /SP/cli timeout=60
Set ‘timeout’ to ‘60’

Configuring Banner Messages

Before You Begin

• The Admin (a) role is required to configure banner messages in ILOM.
• You must be using ILOM 3.0.8 or a later version of ILOM.

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.

For example:

-> 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:

-> set /SP/preferences/banner connect_message=message

-> set /SP/preferences/banner login_message=message

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

Logging Out of ILOM and Recovering a Lost Password

To log out of ILOM, follow this step:

  At the command prompt, type:

-> exit

Before You Begin

• You must be physically present at the server to perform this procedure.

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.

For example:

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

What Next

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.
