ALOM CMT Compatibility Shell

Oracle’s Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) for Oracle’s Sun Netra T5440 server supports some of the features of the ALOM CMT command-line interface by means of a compatiblity shell. There are significant differences between ILOM and ALOM CMT. This appendix describes those differences.

Backward Compatibility Limits

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 here or in the product notes for your server.

Adding a Commit Step to Procedures That Configure ILOM Network Configuration Properties

When changing the values of some ALOM CMT variables (such as network and serial port configuration variables), it was necessary to reset the system controller before the changes took effect. By comparison, in ILOM it is not necessary to reset the service processor after changing the values of comparable properties. In ILOM, if you change the value of the property and then reset the SP, you will lose the new property setting.

Instead, change the network configuration property then commit it using setsc netsc_commit in the the ALOM compatibility CLI or set /SP/network commitpending using the ILOM CLI. To change the serial port configuration property then commit it using setsc ser_commit in the the ALOM compatibility CLI or set /SP/serial/external commitpending using the ILOM CLI..

For example, set a static IP address using the ALOM compatiblitiy CLI:


sc> setsc netsc_ipaddr xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
sc> setsc netsc_commit

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’
->

In summary, you must commit the changes before they can take effect.

Creating an ALOM CMT Shell

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.

procedure icon  To Create an ALOM CMT Compatibility Shell

  1. Log onto the service processor with the username: root.

    When powered on, the SP boots to the ILOM login prompt. The factory default password is changeme.


    SUNSPxxxxxxxxxxxx login: root
Password:
Waiting for daemons to initialize...
Daemons ready

Warning: password is set to factory default.
 
 
 

  2. Create a user named admin, and set the admin account role to Administrator and the CLI mode to alom.


    -> create /SP/users/admin Enter new password: ********
Creating user...-> set /SP/users/admin role=Administrator
Set 'role' to 'Administrator'-> set /SP/users/admin cli_mode=alomSet 'cli_mode' to 'alom'
Enter new password again: ********
Created /SP/users/admin
 
 


    Note - The asterisks in the example will not appear when you enter your password.


    You can combine the create and set commands on a single line:


    -> create /SP/users/admin role=Administrator cli_mode=alomEnter new password: ********
Creating user...
Creating user...
Enter new password again: ********
Created /SP/users/admin

  3. Log out of the root account after you have finished creating the admin account.


    -> exit

  4. Log in to the ALOM CLI shell (indicated by the sc> prompt) from the ILOM login prompt


    SUNSPxxxxxxxxxxxx login: admin
Password:
Waiting for daemons to initialize...

    Using the ALOM CMT compatibility shell (with few exceptions) you can use commands that resemble the commands of ALOM CMT. Remember that the ALOM CMT compatibility shell is an ILOM interface. The comparisons between the ILOM CLI and ALOM CMT compatibility CLI are described in ILOM and ALOM CMT Command Comparison.

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 TABLE B-2. 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.

userperm [username] [c] [u] [a] [r] Sets the permission level for a user account. set /SP/users/username role=permissions

(where permissions are Administrator or Operator)
Log Commands    
showlogs [–p logtype [p]] Displays the history of all events logged in the ALOM CMT RAM event log, or major and critical events in the persistent log. The –p option selects whether to display entries only from the RAM event log (logtype r) or the persistent event log (logtype p). show /SP/logs/event/list

consolehistory [–b lines|–e lines|–v] [–g lines] [boot|run] Displays the host server console output buffers. No equivalent in ILOM

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

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. start /SP/console

break [–c]

break [–D]

 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

set /HOST send_break_action=dumpcore
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] Downloads and updates system firmware (both host firmware and ALOM CMT firmware). For ILOM, ipaddr must be a TFTP server. If DHCP is used, ipaddr can be replaced by the name of the TFTP host. load –source tftp://ipaddr/pathname

reset [–c]

reset [–y] [–c]

 Attempts to gracefully reset the system. If that fails this option forcefully resets the system. reset /SYS

reset –script /SYS
reset -f Forcefully resets the system reset -f /SYS
reset -d Attempts to gracefully reset the control domain. If that fails, this option forcefully resets the control domain. reset /HOST/domain/control
reset [-d][-f] Forcefully resets the control domain. reset -f /HOST/domain/control
reset [-d][-n] When resetting the control domain, this option may automatically boot, this is default behavior when the auto-boot option is not specified. set /HOST/domain/control auto-boot=disable reset /HOST/domain/control
reset [-d][-f][-n] When resetting the control domain, this option does not automatically boot and stays at the OpenBoot ok prompt. This option overrides all reboot variables and stops the control domain at the OpenBoot ok prompt after host reset. The auto-boot? option remains unchanged, thus subsequent reset commands automatically reboot host if the auto-boot? option is set to true. set /HOST/domain/control auto-boot=disable reset -f /HOST/domain/control
powercycle [–y][–f]
