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

Before You Begin

• Complete the hardware setup as described in the hardware installation documentation.

• Apply standby power for your server by plugging an AC cord into the system power supply. See Server Back Panel LEDs and Ports for the location of the power cord connectors.

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

   • 8, N, 1 (eight data bits, no parity, one 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’s back panel to a terminal device.

   See Server Back Panel LEDs and Ports for the location of the RJ-45 SERIAL MGT port.

4. Press Enter on the terminal device to establish a connection between that terminal device and the ILOM SP.

   The SP login prompt appears. For example:

   SUNSPproduct_serial_numberlogin:

   where

   • The string SUNSP is the same for all SPs.

   • product_serial_number is the product serial number by default. This value can also be the host name, which is assigned by the user or the DHCP server.

5. Log in to the ILOM.
   1. Type the default user name: root.
   2. Type the default password: changeme.

      Once you have successfully logged in, the CLI prompt appears:
