Access the SP (Oracle ILOM)

There are two approaches to interacting with the SP:

• Oracle ILOM CLI shell (default) – The Oracle ILOM shell provides access to Oracle ILOM's features and functions through a command-line interface.

• Oracle ILOM browser interface – The Oracle ILOM browser interface supports the same set of features and functions as the shell, but through windows on a browser interface.

You can log into multiple SP accounts simultaneously and have separate Oracle ILOM shell commands executing concurrently under each account.

1. Establish connectivity to the SP, using one of the following methods:

   • SER MGT – Connect a terminal device (such as an ASCII terminal or laptop with terminal emulation) to the serial management port.

     Set up your terminal device for 9600 baud, 8 bit, no parity, 1 stop bit and no handshaking. Use a null-modem configuration (transmit and receive signals crossed over to enable DTE-to-DTE communication). The crossover adapters supplied with the server provide a null-modem configuration.

   • NET MGT – Connect this port to an Ethernet network. This port requires an IP address. By default, the port is configured for DHCP, or you can assign an IP address.

2. Decide which interface to use, the Oracle ILOM CLI or the Oracle ILOM browser interface.
3. Log in to Oracle ILOM.

   The default Oracle ILOM login account is root with a default password changeme.

   Example of logging in to the Oracle ILOM CLI:

   ssh root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
   Password:
   Waiting for daemons to initialize...
   Daemons ready
   Oracle (R) Integrated Lights Out Manager
   Version 3.0.12.1 r57146
   Copyright (c) 2010, Oracle and/or its affiliates, Inc. All rights reserved.
   ->

   The Oracle ILOM -> prompt indicates that you are accessing the SP with the Oracle ILOM CLI.

4. Perform Oracle ILOM commands that provide the diagnostic information you need.

   The following Oracle ILOM commands are commonly used for fault management:

   • show command – Displays information about individual FRUs. See Display FRU Information (show Command).

   • show faulty command – Displays environmental, POST-detected, and PSH-detected faults. See Check for Faults (show faulty Command).

     ---

     Note - You can use fmadm faulty in the faultmgmt shell as an alternative to the show faulty command. See Check for Faults (fmadm faulty Command).

     ---

   • clear_fault_action property of the set command – Manually clears PSH-detected faults. See Clear Faults (clear_fault_action Property).
