Create an ALOM CMT Compatibility 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.

1. Log onto the service processor with a username that has been assigned the user management (u) role.

   When powered on, the SP boots to the ILOM login prompt.

   XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX login: username
   Password:
   Waiting for daemons to initialize...
   Daemons ready
    
   Integrated Lights Out Manager
    
   Version 3.0.x.x

   Warning: password is set to factory default.
    
   ->

2. Create a user named admin, and set the admin account roles to aucro 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=aucro
   Set 'role' to 'aucro'
    
   ->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=aucro 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 admin account.

   -> exit

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

   XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX login: admin
   Password:
   Waiting for daemons to initialize...
    
   Daemons ready
    
   Integrated Lights Out Manager

   In the ALOM CMT compatibility shell (with a 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 the ALOM CMT compatibility CLI are described in ILOM and ALOM CMT Command Comparison.
