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.
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.
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.
ALOM CMT Variable | Comparable ILOM Property |
---|---|
netsc_commit | /SP/network commitpending |
ser_commit | /SP/serial/external commitpending |
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.
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.

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 |
Log out of the root account after you have finished creating the admin account.
-> exit |
Log in to the ALOM CLI shell (indicated by the sc> prompt) from the ILOM login prompt

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.
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.
The following table displays ALOM CMT variables and the ILOM properties to which they can be compared. The comparison does not imply a one-to-one mapping. To understand the ILOM properties it is necessary to view them in their own context, ILOM.
