ILOM supports some of the features of the ALOM CMT command-line interface by means of a compatibility shell. There are significant differences between ILOM and ALOM CMT. This chapter describes those differences. This chapter includes the following topics:
The backward compatibility shell supports some, but not all features of ALOM CMT. Some of the more significant differences between ILOM and ALOM CMT are described in this section or in the product notes for your server.
In the original ALOM CMT environment, when changing the values of some ALOM CMT variables (such as network and serial port configuration variables), it was necessary to reset the service processor (called the system controller in ALOM CMT) before the changes took effect. By comparison, in ILOM (and the ALOM CMT compatibility shell) you must commit the changed values rather than resetting the service processor.
Caution - In ILOM, if you change the value of the property and reset the SP without committing the change, the new property setting will not be retained. |
Change the value of the target network configuration property.
For example, set a static IP address using the ALOM compatibility CLI:
sc> setsc netsc_ipaddr xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx sc> setsc netsc_commit true |
To set the same property using the ILOM CLI:
-> set /SP/network pendingipaddress=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Set ’pendingipaddress’ to ’xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx’ -> set /SP/network commitpending=true Set ’commitpending’ to ’true’ |
Change the value of the target serial port configuration property.
Use either the ALOM CMT command setsc ser_commit true or the ILOM command set /SP/serial/external commitpending=true to commit the change.
Refer to Comparing ILOM and ALOM CMT Command for a list of variables and corresponding properties.
ALOM CMT Variable | Comparable ILOM Property |
---|---|
netsc_commit | /SP/network commitpending |
ser_commit | /SP/serial/external commitpending |
Your server is configured to operate under an ILOM shell, by default. You can create an ALOM compatibility shell if you prefer to use commands that resemble ALOM CMT commands to administer your server.
Log onto the service processor with a username that has been assigned the user management (u) role.
When powered on, the SP boots to the ILOM login prompt.

Create a user named admin, and set the admin account roles to aucro and the CLI mode to alom.
-> create /SP/users/admin Creating user... Enter new password: ******** Enter new password again: ******** Created /SP/users/admin -> set /SP/users/admin role=aucro Set 'role' to 'aucro' ->set /SP/users/admin cli_mode=alom Set 'cli_mode' to 'alom' |
Note - The asterisks in the example do not appear when you enter your password. |
You can combine the create and set commands on a single line:
-> create /SP/users/admin role=aucro cli_mode=alom Creating user... Enter new password: ******** Enter new password again: ******** Created /SP/users/admin |
Log out of the root account after you have finished creating the admin account.
-> exit |
Log in to the ALOM CLI shell (indicated by the sc> prompt) from the ILOM login prompt.

In the ALOM CMT compatibility shell (with a few exceptions) you can use commands that resemble the commands of ALOM CMT. The ALOM CMT compatibility shell is an ILOM interface. The comparisons between the ILOM CLI and the ALOM CMT compatibility CLI are described in Comparing ILOM and ALOM CMT Command.
The following table provides a command-by-command comparison between the command sets of ALOM CMT and the default ILOM CLI command set. Only the supported ALOM CMT command options are listed in the tables. ALOM CMT command-line arguments that have no corresponding ILOM properties have been omitted. The command set of the ALOM compatibility shell provides a close approximation of the equivalent commands and arguments (where supported) in ALOM CMT.
