ILOM and ALOM CMT Command Comparison

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 below. Where there are ALOM CMT command-line arguments that have no corresponding ILOM properties, those ALOM CMT arguments 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.

Note - By default, when displaying information ALOM CMT commands limit their output to a terse format, offering more verbose output if a –v flag is supplied with the command. ILOM’s show commands do not have a terse output format. These commands always provide verbose output.

Table 24 ALOM CMT Shell Configuration Commands

ALOM CMT Command	Summary	Comparable ILOM Command
`password`	Changes the login password of the current user.	`set /SP/users/username password`
`restartssh`	Restarts the SSH server so that new host keys generated by the `ssh-keygen` command are reloaded.	`set /SP/services/ssh restart_sshd_action=true`
`setdate` [[`mmdd`]`HHMM` \|`mmddHHMM`[`cc`]`yy`][.`SS`]	Sets ALOM CMT date and time.	`set /SP/clock datetime=value`
`setdefaults` [`–a`]	Resets all ALOM CMT configuration parameters to their default values. The `–a` option resets the user information to the default (one `admin` account only).	`set /SP reset_to_defaults=[none\|factory\|all]`
`setkeyswitch [normal\|stby\|diag\| locked]`	Sets the status of the virtual keyswitch. Setting the virtual keyswitch to standby (`stby`) powers off the server. Before powering off the host server, ALOM CMT asks for a confirmation.	`set /SYS keyswitch_state=value`
`setsc` [`param`] [`value`]	Sets the specified ALOM CMT parameter to the assigned value.	`set` `target` `property=value`
`setupsc`	Runs the interactive configuration script. This script configures the ALOM CMT configuration variables.	No equivalent in ILOM
`showplatform [–v]`	Displays information about the host system’s hardware configuration, and whether the hardware is providing service. The `–v` option displays verbose information about the displayed components.	`show /HOST`
`showfru`	Displays information about the field-replaceable units (FRUs) in a host server.	Use the ILOM `show` [`FRU`] command to display static FRU information. (For dynamic FRU information, use the ALOM CMT `showfru` command.)
`showusers –g` `lines`	Displays a list of users currently logged in to ALOM CMT. The display for this command has a similar format to that of the UNIX command `who`. The `–g` option pauses the display after the number of lines you specify for `lines`.	`show –level all –o table /SP/sessions` No equivalent in ILOM for `–g` option
`showhost` version	Displays version information for host-side components. The `version` option displays the same information as the `showhost` command with no option.	`show /HOST`
`showkeyswitch`	Displays status of virtual keyswitch.	`show /SYS keyswitch_state`
`showsc` [`param`]	Displays the current nonvolatile random access memory (NVRAM) configuration parameters.	`show` `target` `property`
`showdate`	Displays the ALOM CMT date. ALOM CMT time is expressed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) rather than local time. The Solaris OS and ALOM CMT time are not synchronized.	`show /SP/clock datetime`
`ssh-keygen` `–l` `ssh-keygen` `–r` `ssh-keygen –t` {`rsa\|dsa}`	Generates Secure Shell (SSH) host keys and displays the host key fingerprint on the SC.	`show /SP/services/ssh/keys rsa\|dsa` `set /SP/services/ssh generate_new_key_action=true` `set /SP/services/ssh generate_new_key_type=[rsa\|dsa]`
`usershow` [`username`]	Displays a list of all user accounts and permission levels, and whether passwords are assigned.	`show /SP/users`
`useradd` `username`	Adds a user account to ALOM CMT.	`create /SP/users/username`

`userpassword` [`username`]	Sets or changes a user password.	`set /SP/users/username` `password`
`userperm` [`username`] [`c`] [`u`] [`a`] [`r`] [`o`] [`s`]	Sets the permission level for a user account.	`set /SP/users/username` `role=permissions` [`a`\|u\|`c`\|`r`\|`o`\|`s`]

Table 25 ALOM CMT Shell Log Commands

ALOM CMT Command	Summary	Comparable ILOM Command
`showlogs -p [r\|p] [–b` `lines`\|`–e` `lines`\|`–v`] [`–g` `lines`]	Displays the history of all events logged in the event log, or major and critical events in the event log. The `–p` option selects whether to display only major and critical events from the event log (`r`) or to display all of the events from the event log (`p`). `–g` `lines` specifies the number of lines to display before pausing. `–e` `lines` displays `n` lines from the end of the buffer. `–b` `lines` displays `n` lines from the beginning of the buffer. `–v` displays the entire buffer.	`show /SP/logs/event/list` No equivalent in ILOM
`consolehistory [–b` `lines`\|`–e` `lines`\|`–v`] [`–g` `lines`] [`boot`\|`run`]	Displays the host server console output buffers. `–g` `lines` specifies the number of lines to display before pausing. `–e` `lines` displays `n` lines from the end of the buffer. `–b` `lines` displays `n` lines from the beginning of the buffer. `–v` displays the entire buffer.	`set /SP/console/history property=value` [`set /SP/console/history` `property=value`][`set /SP/console/history` `property`=`value`] `show /SP/console/history` where property can be: `line_count`=[`lines`] default value is "" (none), meaning there is no limit to the total number of lines retrieved from the buffer. `pause_count`=[`count`] default value is "" (none), meaning there is no limit to the count of lines displayed per pause. `start_from`=[`end`\|`beginning`] default value is `end`.

Table 26 ALOM CMT Shell Status and Control Commands

ALOM CMT Command	Summary	Comparable ILOM Command
`showenvironment`	Displays the environmental status of the host server. This information includes system temperatures, power supply status, front panel LED status, hard disk drive status, fan status, voltage, and current sensor status.	`show –o table –level all /SYS`
`showpower [–v]`	Displays power metrics for the host server.	`show /SP/powermgmt`
`shownetwork [–v]`	Displays the current network configuration information. The `–v` option shows additional information about your network, including information about your DHCP server.	`show /SP/network`
`console [–f]`	Connects to the host system console. The `–f` option forces the console write lock from one user to another. In ILOM, the `–force` option terminates the console, permitting you to start a new console.	`start [–force] /SP/console`
`break` `[–D][–c]`	Drops the host server from running the Solaris OS software into OpenBoot PROM or `kmdb` depending upon the mode in which the Solaris software was booted.	`set /HOST send_break_action=[break\|dumpcore]` `[start /SP/console]`
`bootmode [normal] [reset_nvram] [config=configname][bootscript =string`]	Controls the host server OpenBoot PROM firmware method of booting.	`set /HOST/bootmode` `property=value` `(`where `property` is `state,` `config,` or `script)`
`flashupdate –s` `IPaddr` `–f` `pathname` [`–v`] [`–y`] [`–c`]	Downloads and updates system firmware (both host firmware and ALOM CMT firmware). For ILOM, `ipaddr` must be a TFTP server. If you use DHCP, you can replace `ipaddr` with the name of the TFTP host. The –y option enables you to skip the confirmation question. The `–c` option enables you to update system firmware on your server without preserving configuration information. After configuration information has been deleted (by having used the `–c` option or the `set` `/SP` `reset_to_defaults=factory` command), you must use the `–c` option when replacing system firmware that includes ILOM 3.0 with firmware that includes ILOM 2.0. If you omit the `–c` option, the `flashupdate` command attempts to restore preserved configuration information, halting the firmware downgrade because that configuration information is absent.	`load –source tftp://ipaddr/pathname`
`reset [–y] [–f] [–c]` `reset –d [–n] [–y] [–f] [–c]`	Generates a hardware reset on the host server. The `–y` option enables you to skip the confirmation question. The `–f` option forces a hardware reset.The `–c` option starts the console. The `–d` option gracefully resets the control domain.The `–n` option sets the `auto-boot` variable to disable (lasts for one reset).The `–y` option enables you to skip the confirmation question.The `–f` option forces a hardware reset.The `–c` option starts the console.	`reset [-script][–force] /SYS` [start /SP/console] `[set /HOST/domain/control auto-boot=disable`] `reset [–script] [–force] /HOST/domain/control` [start /SP/console]
`powercycle [–y] [–f]`	`poweroff` followed by `poweron`. The `–f` option forces an immediate `poweroff`, otherwise the command attempts a graceful shutdown.	`stop [–script] [–force] /SYS` `start [`–script] [–force] /SYS
`poweroff` [`–y`][`–f`]	Removes the main power from the host server. The `–y` option enables you to skip the confirmation question. ALOM CMT attempts to shut the server down gracefully. The `–f` option forces an immediate shutdown.	`stop [–script][–force] /SYS`
`poweron`	Applies the main power to the host server or FRU.	`start /SYS`
`setlocator [on/off`]	Turns the Locator LED on the server on or off.	`set /SYS/LOCATE value=value`
`showfaults [–v]`	Displays current valid system faults.	`show faulty`
`clearfault` `UUID`	Manually repairs system faults. Use the ILOM `show faulty` command to identify faulted components.	`set /SYS/component` `clear_fault_action=true`
`showlocator`	Displays the current state of the Locator LED as either `on` or `off`.	`show /SYS/LOCATE`

Table 27 ALOM CMT Shell FRU Commands
