Power On the Host (Oracle ILOM)
You can access the server module’s SP either directly or through the CMM of the modular system. You can manage the server module through the Oracle ILOM CLI or through the Oracle ILOM web interface.
Use this procedure to log into the CMM to access the SP and to use the Oracle ILOM CLI.
For alternative methods to access the server module SP, refer to the Server Module Installation Guide.
Set up your terminal device for 9600 baud, 8 bit, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no handshaking, and use a null-modem configuration (transmit and receive signals crossed over to enable DTE-to-DTE communication).
Note - Alternatively, you can connect directly to the server module SP by using a dongle cable to connect to the server module SER MGT or NET MGT ports. For more information, refer to the Netra SPARC T4-1B Server Module Installation Guide.
The default Oracle ILOM login account is root with a default password of changeme. The password might be different in your environment.
ssh root@CMM_IP_Address Password: Waiting for daemons to initialize... Daemons ready Oracle (R) Integrated Lights Out Manager Version 3.0 Copyright (c) 2011, Oracle and/or its affiliates, Inc. All rights reserved. Warning: password is set to factory default. ->
The Oracle ILOM prompt (->) indicates that you are accessing the Oracle ILOM CLI.
-> cd /CH/BLn/SP/cli
Replace n with an integer that identifies the target server module (the slot in which the server module is installed).
-> start Are you sure you want to start /CH/BL0/SP/cli? y start: Connecting to /CH/BL0/SP/cli using Single Sign On
These commands are commonly used for fault management:
See Check for Faults (show faulty Command).
Note - You can use fmadm faulty in the Oracle ILOM faultmgmt shell as an alternative to show faulty.
