ILOM Overview

Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) is a low-level system management tool used to monitor and manage system components, diagnose problems, and manage the service processor. The service processor card acts independently of the host system, and is available when the main system power is shut down.
By default, the service processor is the gateway to the system, through its two ports: network management (NET MGT) and serial management (SER MGT). After initial installation, typically you connect an Ethernet cable from the network management port to your management network. This setup enables remote access to ILOM, which you can manage from either the command-line interface or the web interface.
For more information about ILOM, see the Integrated Lights Out Management
Supplement for the SPARC Enterprise T5440 Server and the Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Concepts Guide.
If you are familiar with the ALOM CMT, see the “ILOM and ALOM CMT Command
Comparison” on page 45 section to see how ILOM commands map to common
ALOM commands.

Log In to ILOM

This procedure assumes the default configuration of the service processor as described in your server’s installation guide. To set up the default service processor configuration, see your server’s installation guide.
Open an SSH session and connect to the service processor by specifying its IP
address.
The 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

Basic Administrative Tasks 3

Log In to the System Console

1. Log in to ILOM.
See “Log In to ILOM” on page 3.
2. To access the system console from ILOM, type:
-> start /SP/console Are you sure you want to start /SP/console (y/n) ? y Serial console started. To stop, type #. . . .
You are logged in to the system console. Perform tasks as needed.

Display the ok Prompt
This procedure assumes the default system console configuration.
1. Decide which method you need to use to reach the ok prompt.
Caution – When possible, reach the ok prompt by performing a graceful shutdown
of the OS. Any other method used may result in the loss of system state data.
2. Use the appropriate shutdown method from the following table.
System State What To Do
OS Running and Responsive
4 SPARC Enterprise T5440 Server Administration Guide • July 2009
• From a shell or command tool window, issue an appropriate command (for example, the shutdown or init 0 command) as described in Solaris system administration documentation.
• From the ILOM -> prompt, type:
-> Stop /SYS
• Use the system Power button.
System State What To Do
OS Unresponsive From the ILOM -> prompt, type the set /HOST send_break_action=
break command provided the operating system software is not running and the server is already under OpenBoot firmware control. Then issue the start /SP/console command.
OS Unresponsive and Need to Prevent auto-boot
From the ILOM -> prompt, type:
-> set /HOST/bootmode script=”setenv auto-boot? false” Press Enter. Then type:
-> reset /SYS
-> start /SP/console
Related Information
“Display the ILOM ->Prompt” on page 5

Display the ILOM ->Prompt

Use one of the following ways to get to the ILOM -> prompt:
From the system console, type the ILOM escape sequence (#.).
Log in to ILOM directly from a device connected to the serial management port
or network management port. See “Log In to ILOM” on page 3.
Related Information
“ILOM Overview” on page 2
“Display the ok Prompt” on page 4

System Console Output Options

On your sever, the system console comes preconfigured to allow input and output only by means of the ILOM service processor. In the default configuration, ILOM alerts and system console output are interspersed in the same window.
You can separate the service processor system console output and the ILOM output by opening an ILOM session in one window, then opening the system console session in a second window. Or, you can redirect the system console to the graphics frame buffer. For more information, see “Access the System Console Through a Local
Graphics Monitor” on page 6.
Basic Administrative Tasks 5
Access the System Console Through a Local
Graphics Monitor
After initial system installation, you can install a local graphics monitor and configure it to access the system console. You cannot use a local graphics monitor to perform initial system installation, nor can you use a local graphics monitor to view power-on self-test (POST) messages.
To install a local graphics monitor, you must have the following items:
Supported PCI-based graphics accelerator card and software driver
Monitor with appropriate resolution to support the frame buffer
Supported USB keyboard
Supported USB mouse
1. Install the graphics card into the appropriate PCI slot.
Installation must be performed by a qualified service provider. For more information, see your server’s Service Manual.
2. Attach the monitor’s video cable to the graphics card’s video port.
3. Connect the monitor’s power cord to an AC outlet.
4. Connect the USB keyboard cable to one USB port. Connect the USB mouse cable to another USB port on the server.
5. Get to the ok prompt.
See “Display the ok Prompt” on page 4.
6. Set OpenBoot input output configuration variables appropriately.
From the existing system console, type:
ok setenv input-device keyboard ok setenv output-device screen
7. To cause the changes to take effect, type:
ok reset-all
