Managing Virtual Keyswitch Settings

Managing Virt ual Keyswitch Settings

This chapter describes ILOM properties available on Sun Blade T6340 server modules that augment the array of properties that are common to ILOM on other platforms. In particular, this chapter covers properties in the /SYS namespace using the CLI and the web interface.

To Control the Virtual Keyswitch Using the CLI

Use the /SYS setkeyswitch_state property to control the position of the virtual keyswitch.

At the -> prompt, type the following command:

-> set /SYS keyswitch_state=value

TABLE 4-1 lists the possible values for the setkeyswitch_state property. The default value is normal.

TABLE 4-1 `keyswitch_state` Values
Option	Description
`normal`	The system can power itself on and start the boot process.
`stby`	The system cannot power itself on.
`diag`	The system can power itself on using preset values of diag nostic properties (`/HOST/diag level=max`, `/HOST/diag mode=normal`, `/HOST/diag verbosity=max`) to provide thorough fault coverage. This option overrides the values of diagnostic properties that you might have set.
`locked`	The system can power itself on. However, you are prohibited from updating any of the flash devices or setting `/HOST send_break_action=break`.

To Control the Virtual Keyswitch Using the Web Interface

You can use the web interface to control the virtual keyswitch position of the system.

Screen capture of the ILOM web interface, showing the Keyswitch fields.

1. Log in to the web interface as administrator (root) to open the web interface.

2. Select Remote Control --> Keyswitch.

3. Select the Keyswitch state value.

4. Cl ick Save.

Monitoring Component Status

To Display Component Status

Type the show components command.

The show components command is a shortcut for the following ILOM command string:

-> show -o table -level all /SYS component_state

The shortcut produces the same output as the longer command string, restricting the table output to a single property below each target. Sample output:

-> show components 
Target    | Property        | Value
----------+-----------------+--------------
/SYS/FRU1 | component_state | Enabled
/SYS/FRU2 | component_state | Enabled
/SYS/FRU3 | component_state | Enabled
