How to Get the SP IP Address by Using a Serial Connection and the CLI

Before You Begin

• Apply standby-power for your server by plugging an AC cord into the system power supply. See How to Power On the Server to Standby-Power Mode.

1. Verify that your terminal, laptop, or terminal server is operational.
2. Configure the terminal emulation software running on a laptop or PC to the following settings:

   • 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit

   • 9600 baud

   • Disable hardware flow control (CTS/RTS)

   • Disable software flow control (XON/XOFF)

3. Connect a serial cable from the RJ-45 SERIAL MGT port on the server back panel to a terminal device.
4. Press Enter on the terminal device to establish a connection between the terminal device and the ILOM SP.

   The SP login prompt appears. For example:

   SUNSP003BA84D777login:

   where the string SUNSP is the same for all service processors and 003BA84D777 is the product serial number by default (this value can also be the host name, which is assigned by the user or DHCP server).

5. Log in to the ILOM.

   • Type the default user name: root

   • Type the default password: changeme

   The SP command prompt appears:

   –>

   You can now run CLI commands to configure the ILOM for the server user accounts, network settings, access lists, alerts, and so on. For detailed instructions on CLI commands, refer to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager 3.0 CLI Procedures Guide.

6. To display the SP IP address, type:

   show /SP/network

   The SP IP address appears along with additional network information.

7. Make note of the IP address.
8. Type exit to log out of the ILOM CLI.
