1.4.1 Interacting With the Service Processor

There are three methods of interacting with the service processor:

• ILOM CLI (default)

• ILOM browser interface (BI)

• ALOM CMT compatibility CLI (ALOM CMT CLI in ILOM)

  Note - The code examples in this document depict use of the ILOM shell.

Creating an ALOM CMT CLI Shell

The default shell for the service processor is the ILOM shell. The ALOM CMT CLI emulates the ALOM CMT interface supported on the previous generation of CMT servers. Using the ALOM CMT CLI (with few exceptions) you can use commands that resemble the ALOM CMT commands. The comparisons between the ILOM CLI and The ALOM CMT compatibility CLI are described in the Sun Integrated Lights Out Management 2.0 Supplement for the Sun Netra T5440 Server.

The service processor sends alerts to all ALOM CMT CLI users that are logged in, sending the alert through email to a configured email address, and writing the event to the ILOM event log.

To create an ALOM CMT CLI, do the following:

1. Log in to the service processor with username: root.

   When powered on, the service processor 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 new user (in this example, the new user name is admin), set the account role to Administrator and the CLI mode to alom:

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

   ---

   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=alom
   Creating user...
   Enter new password: ********
   Enter new password again: ********\
   Created /SP/users/admin
   

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

   -> exit
   

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

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

   Note - Multiple service processor accounts can be active concurrently. A user can be logged in under one account using the ILOM CLI, and another account using the ALOM CMT CLI.
