Getting Server Firmware and Software Updates
Before You Begin
This procedure requires you to have:
Physical presence at the server module chassis.
Access to an Administrator account to log in to Oracle ILOM CLI.
Access to a terminal device or terminal emulator and RJ-45 serial cable.
A multi-port cable for server module connection.
You do not need an SP IP address to log in to Oracle ILOM using a serial connection and CLI.
To set up the server module with Oracle ILOM CLI through a local front panel serial connection:
Caution - Cable or connector damage hazard. Use the multi-port cable for configuration and service purposes. Disconnect the multi-port cable from the server module after the configuration or service operation is complete to avoid damaging the cable or connector. |
8N1: eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit
9600 baud (default—do not change)
Disable hardware flow control (CTS/RTS)
A login prompt for Oracle ILOM appears. For example:
SP-productserialnumber login:
The default Oracle ILOM Administrator account user name is root and the password is changeme.
The Oracle ILOM CLI prompt (->) appears.
You are now logged in to the server module Oracle ILOM CLI.
For more information about how to use the CLI interface to configure Oracle ILOM, refer to the Oracle ILOM 3.1 documentation library at http://www.oracle.com/goto/ILOM/docs
