F.2 Service-Related ALOM CMT Commands

TABLE F-1 describes the typical ALOM CMT commands for servicing a Sun Blade T6340 server module. For descriptions of all ALOM CMT commands, type the help command or refer to the Sun Integrated Lights out Manager 2.0 User’s Guide, 820-1188.

TABLE F-1 Service-Related ALOM CMT Commands
ALOM CMT Command	Description
`help` [command]	Displays a list of all ALOM CMT commands with syntax and descriptions. Specifying a command name as an option displays help for that command.
`break` [`-y`][`-c`]	Takes the host server from the OS to either `kmdb` or OpenBoot PROM (equivalent to a Stop-A command), depending on the Solaris mode that was booted. The `-y` option skips the confirmation question. The `-c` option executes a `console` command after completion of the `break` command.
`clearfault` UUID	Manually clears host-detected faults. The UUID is the unique fault ID of the fault to be cleared.
console [-f]	Connects you to the host system. The `-f` option forces the console to have read and write capabilities.
consolehistory [-b lines\|-e lines\|-v] [-g lines] [boot\|run]	Displays the contents of the system’s console buffer. The following options enable you to specify how the output is displayed: `-g` lines option specifies the number of lines to display before pausing. `-e` lines option displays n lines from the end of the buffer. `-b` lines option displays n lines from beginning of the buffer. `-v` option displays the entire buffer. `boot\|run` option specifies the log to display (`run` is the default log).
bootmode [normal\|reset_nvram\| bootscript=string]	Enables control of the firmware during system initialization with the following options: `normal` is the default boot mode. `reset_nvram` resets OpenBoot PROM parameters to their default values. `bootscript=`string enables the passing of a string to the `boot` command.
`powercycle` [`-f`]	Performs a `poweroff` followed by `poweron`. The `-f` option forces an immediate `poweroff`, otherwise the command attempts a graceful shutdown.
`poweroff` [`-y`] [`-f`]	Powers off the host server. The `-y` option enables you to skip the confirmation question. The `-f` option forces an immediate shutdown.
`poweron [-c]`	Powers on the host server. Using the `-c` option executes a `console` command after completion of the `poweron` command.
`removeblade` [-y]	Pauses the service processor tasks and illuminates the white locator LED indicating that it is safe to remove the blade.
`unremoveblade`	Turns off the locator LED and restores the service processor state.
`reset` [`-y`] [`-c`]	Generates a hardware reset on the host server. The `-y` option enables you to skip the confirmation question. The `-c` option executes a `console` command after completion of the `reset` command.
`resetsc` [`-y`]	Reboots the service processor. The `-y` option enables you to skip the confirmation question.
`setkeyswitch` [`-y`] `normal` \| `stby` \| `diag` \| `locked`	Sets the virtual keyswitch. The `-y` option enables you to skip the confirmation question when setting the keyswitch to `stby`.
`setlocator` [`on` \| `off`]	Turns the Locator LED on the server on or off.
`showenvironment`	Displays the environmental status of the host server. This information includes system temperatures, power supply, front panel LED, hard drive, fan, voltage, and current sensor status. See Section 2.5.2, Displaying the Environmental Status with the ILOM CLI.
`showfaults` [`-v`]	Displays current system faults..
`showfru` [`-g` lines] [`-s` \| `-d`] [FRU]	Displays information about the FRUs in the server. The `-g` lines option specifies the number of lines to display before pausing the output to the screen. The `-s` option displays static information about system FRUs (defaults to all FRUs, unless one is specified). The `-d` option displays dynamic information about system FRUs (defaults to all FRUs, unless one is specified)..
`showkeyswitch`	Displays the status of the virtual keyswitch.
`showlocator`	Displays the current state of the Locator LED as either on or off.
`showlogs` [`-b` lines \| `-e` lines `\|-v]` [`-g` lines] [`-p logtype[r\|p]]`]	Displays the history of all events logged in the ALOM CMT event buffers (in RAM or the persistent buffers).
`showplatform` [`-v`]	Displays information about the host system’s slot location, hardware configuration, the system serial number, and whether the hardware is providing service.
`shownetwork` [`-v`]	Displays information about the local connected network.

TABLE F-1 Service-Related ALOM CMT Commands

ALOM CMT Command

Description

help [command]

Displays a list of all ALOM CMT commands with syntax and descriptions. Specifying a command name as an option displays help for that command.

break [-y][-c]

Takes the host server from the OS to either kmdb or OpenBoot PROM (equivalent to a Stop-A command), depending on the Solaris mode that was booted. The -y option skips the confirmation question. The -c option executes a console command after completion of the break command.

clearfault UUID

Manually clears host-detected faults. The UUID is the unique fault ID of the fault to be cleared.

console [-f]

Connects you to the host system. The -f option forces the console to have read and write capabilities.

consolehistory [-b lines|-e lines|-v] [-g lines] [boot|run]

Displays the contents of the system’s console buffer. The following options enable you to specify how the output is displayed:

-g lines option specifies the number of lines to display before pausing.
-e lines option displays n lines from the end of the buffer.
-b lines option displays n lines from beginning of the buffer.
-v option displays the entire buffer.
boot|run option specifies the log to display (run is the default log).

bootmode [normal|reset_nvram|
bootscript=string]

Enables control of the firmware during system initialization with the following options:

normal is the default boot mode.
reset_nvram resets OpenBoot PROM parameters to their default values.
