How to Use the ILOM Web Interface to View the Sensor Readings

Before You Begin

To view sensor readings, you need the Read Only (o) role enabled.

  1. Log in to the SP as Administrator or Operator to reach the ILOM web interface:
    1. Type the IP address of the server’s SP into your web browser.

      The Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager Login screen is displayed.

    2. Type your user name and password.

      When you first try to access the ILOM Service Processor, you are prompted to type the default user name and password:

      Default user name: root

      Default password: changeme

  2. From the System Monitoring tab, select Sensor Readings.

    The sensor readings appear.

    Note - If the server is powered off, many components will have no readings.


  3. In the Sensor Readings page, do the following:
    1. Locate the name of the sensor you want to view.
    2. Click the name of the sensor to view the property values associated with that sensor.

      For specific details about the type of discrete sensor targets you can access, as well as the paths to access them, see Sun ILOM 3.0 Supplement for the Sun Fire X4640 Server.

  4. If the problem with the server is not evident after viewing sensor readings information, continue with Using SunVTS Diagnostics Software .
