Log into a Compute Server

Language:

To access a single PDomain through Oracle ILOM, you must log in to the active SPM controlling that PDomain. You can power on, reboot, or manage one partition while the other partition continues to operate normally.

There are a variety of methods you can use to log into a SuperCluster compute server. The method described in this task involves logging into Oracle ILOM CLI on the compute server's SPM. This method enables you to access the server in any of these states:

Standby power mode
System powered on, but host not running
OS is booting
Fully powered on, and the OS is running

On the management network, log in using the ssh command.
```
$ ssh root@compute_server_SPM_ILOM_IP-address
  
```

When prompted, enter the password.
If you are prompted to change the password, do so.

At this point, you can perform any security tasks that are performed on the Oracle ILOM on the compute server.

If you want to access the compute server's host console, start the host console.
```
    -> start /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_0/HOST/console
Are you sure you want to start /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_0/HOST/console (y/n)? y

Serial console started.  To stop, type #.

root@system-identifier-pd0:~#
  
```
Note - You will not see the PDomain prompt if the host is not running.

Note - To switch back to the Oracle ILOM prompt, type the escape characters (#. are the default characters).

If needed, assume a superuser role.
Use the su (switch user) command to switch to a user that is configured with the root role.
