Access the Service Processor (ILOM)

There are two approaches to interacting with the service processor:

• ILOM shell (default) – The ILOM shell provides access to ILOM's features and functions through a command-line interface.

• ILOM browser interface – The ILOM browser interface supports the same set of features and functions as the shell, but through windows on a browser interface.

You can log into multiple service processor accounts simultaneously and have separate ILOM shell commands executing concurrently under each account.

1. Establish connectivity to the service processor, using one of the following methods:
   • SER MGT – Connect a terminal device (such as an ASCII terminal or laptop with terminal emulation) to the serial management port.

     Set up your terminal device for 9600 baud, 8 bit, no parity, 1 stop bit and no handshaking, and use a null-modem configuration (transmit and receive signals crossed over to enable DTE-to-DTE communication). The crossover adapters supplied with the server provide a null-modem configuration.

   • NET MGT – Connect this port to an Ethernet network. This port requires an IP address. By default, it is configured for DHCP, or you can assign an IP address.
2. Decide which interface to use:
   • ILOM CLI – The default ILOM UI and most of the commands and examples in this service manual use this interface. The default login account is root with a password of changeme.
   • ILOM web interface – Can be used when you access the service processor through the NET MGT port and have a browser. Refer to the ILOM 3.0 documentation for details. This interface is not referenced in this service manual.
3. Log in to ILOM.

   The default ILOM login account is root with a default password changeme.

   Example of logging in to the ILOM CLI:

   ssh root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
   Password:
   Waiting for daemons to initialize...
   Daemons ready

   Warning: The system appears to be in manufacturing test mode.
   Warning: password is set to factory default.
   ->

   The ILOM -> prompt indicates that you are accessing the service processor with the ILOM CLI.

4. Perform ILOM commands that provide the diagnostic information you need.

   The following ILOM commands are commonly used for fault management:

   • show command – Displays information about individual FRUs.

     See Display FRU Information (show Command).

   • show faulty command – Displays environmental, POST-detected, and PSH-detected faults.

     See Check for Faults (show faulty Command).

   • clear_fault_action property of the set command – Manually clears PSH-detected faults.

     See Clear Faults (clear_fault_action Property).

   Note - You can use fmadm faulty in the faultmgmt shell as an alternative to show faulty. See Check for Faults (fmadm faulty Command).
