Power On the Host Through the CMM SER MGT Port (CLI)

You can access the server module SP by first accessing Oracle ILOM CMM through a terminal or terminal emulator connected to the RJ-45 serial port on the chassis. Then you can connect to the server module SP through the Oracle ILOM CMM CLI.

1. Verify that the terminal, laptop, or terminal server that will connect to the chassis is operational.
2. Configure the terminal device or terminal emulation software with these settings:

   • 8N1 (eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit)

   • 9600 baud (the default, but can be set to any standard rate up to 57600)

   • Disable hardware flow control (CTS/RTS)

3. Connect a serial cable from the CMM serial port to the terminal device.

   Refer to the modular system documentation for the location of the CMM serial port.

   The serial port requires a cable with these pin assignments.

   Pin Signal Description 1 Request To Send (RTS) 2 Data Terminal Ready (DTR) 3 Transmit Data (TXD) 4 Ground 5 Ground 6 Receive Data (RXD) 7 Data Carrier Detect (DCD) 8 Clear To Send (CTS)

4. Press Enter on the terminal device.

   The connection between the terminal device and the CMM is established.

   If you connected to the serial port before powering on the server module, you will see boot messages. The Oracle ILOM CMM software displays its login prompt.

   ORACLECMMnnnnnnnnnn login:
   

   The first string in the prompt is the default host name, which consists of the prefix ORACLECMM followed by the Oracle ILOM CMM MAC address. The MAC address for each CMM and SP is unique.

5. Log into Oracle ILOM on the CMM by typing your user name and password.

   The factory default Oracle ILOM root password is changeme, but might have been changed in your environment.

   You are now logged into the Oracle ILOM CMM web interface.

   After you have successfully logged in, the Oracle ILOM CMM displays its default command prompt.

6. Navigate to the server module.

   -> cd /Servers/Blades/Blade_n
   

   Replace n with a number that identifies the chassis slot in the modular system where the target server module is installed.

7. Power on the server module host.

   Replace n with a number that identifies the chassis slot in the modular system where the target server module is installed.

   -> start System
   Are you sure you want to start /Servers/Blades/Blade_n/System (y/n)? y
   Starting /System. . .
   

   The server module initializes.

8. Switch communication to the server module host.

   When the Oracle ILOM prompt appears, type.

   -> start HOST/console
   Are you sure you want to start /Servers/Blades/Blade_5/HOST/console (y/n)? y
   Serial console started. To stop, type #.
   ...
   

   The server module might take several minutes to complete POST. If a boot device installed with Oracle Solaris OS is accessible locally, the server module boots. Otherwise, the server module uses the boot net command to seek a boot device on the network.

   You are now connected to the server module host.

9. The server module hardware installation is now complete.

   You can now configure the Oracle Solaris OS to meet your needs. See Installing the OS.
