Access the SP (Oracle ILOM)

Language:

To run diagnostic and troubleshooting command outside of the OS and host console, you must first access the SP and log on as a user recognized by the SP.

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

Establish connectivity to the SP using one of these 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.

Decide which interface to use, either the Oracle ILOM CLI or the Oracle ILOM web interface.
Note - Unless indicated otherwise, all examples of interaction with the SP are through the Oracle ILOM CLI. For more information about the Oracle ILOM web interface, see Server Administration, accessing the Oracle ILOM web interface.

Open an SSH session and connect to the SP by specifying its IP address.
The Oracle ILOM default username is root, and the default password is changeme.
```
% ssh root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
...
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no) ? yes
