Sun Fire X4150 server ELOM Features

The ELOM provides a dedicated system of hardware and supporting software that enables you to manage your server independent of an operating system, and in lowpower situations. ELOM is composed of four components:

■Web-based interface (requires JavaR v5 or later)

■Command-line Interface (accessed via serial or ethernet using ssh)

■IPMI v2

■SNMP v3

You can access the ELOM using a web browser, secure shell (SSH), or via the Sun Fire X4150 server’s serial port. Your server’s default network setting is configured as DHCP for easy access via a web browser or SSH, and the ELOM output is directed by default to the serial port.

Chapter 1 Sun Fire X4150 server ELOM Overview 3

About the Preconfigured Administrator

Account

The ELOM is shipped with one preconfigured administrator account:

User name: root

Password: changeme

The preconfigured administrator account, root, is the default account. It cannot be deleted or modified. You can only change the password for the root account. This default account contains administrator privileges (read and write access) to all service processor features and commands. For security reasons you should change the root password and create an alternate user account that also has administrator privileges. To change a user password or to create a new user, see Chapter 4.

If you’ve changed the root password, but have not created an alternate account, and the new root password is lost or forgotten, you will have to reset the SP to return the ELOM to its default settings. For information about how to do this, see“Resetting the Service Processor” on page 44.

About the Indicator and Fault LEDs

The LEDs on the front and rear panel of your server allow you to manage the server at a rudimentary level. The LEDs are helpful for indicating when a problem has occurred, and you can use these LEDs in combination with the internal fault indicator LEDs and buttons to troubleshoot and repair component failure issues. However, using the ELOM it is possible not only to troubleshoot component failure issues, but also to configure, manage, and maintain the server remotely and to implement an effective preventative maintenance program. Using the ELOM as part of a regular maintenance regimen allows you to take a proactive approach to server repair. This can improve system performance and minimize downtime.

For information about the Indicator and Fault LEDs, see the Sun Fire X4150 Server Service Manual.

For information about managing, maintaining, and configuring your server, see Chapter 4 of this guide.

4 Sun Fire X4150 Server Embedded Lights Out Manager Administration Guide • September 2007

CHAPTER 2

Connecting to the ELOM

This chapter details the ways to connect to and communicate with your Sun Fire X4150 server. It contains the following sections:

■“About Connection Tasks” on page 6

■“Connecting Using a Serial Connection” on page 6

■“Connecting Using Ethernet” on page 7

Note – You must install your server and configure the ELOM before communicating with the server. Information about installing the server and configuring the ELOM is available in the Sun Fire X4150 Server Installation Guide.

About Connection Tasks

You have two methods to connect to the ELOM in your server:

■Serial/Local

■Ethernet/Remote

Both methods require making physical cable connections to the server and logging in to the ELOM; refer to TABLE 2-1.

TABLE 2-1 Methods of Connecting to the ELOM

Connection	Supported	Required
Method	Interface	Cable	Comments/Description

Serial, direct	CLI only	RJ-45	Connect directly to the serial management port the on
		serial	server with a terminal or laptop running terminal
		(supplied)	emulation software.
Ethernet	CLI and	Ethernet	You must know the ELOM’s Ethernet address.
	Web	LAN	Note: This is the only method that supports web
	browser		browser access.

Note – The ELOM supports a maximum of 10 active sessions, including serial, SSH, and web browser sessions.

Connecting Using a Serial Connection

You access the ELOM CLI by connecting a terminal or a PC running terminal emulation software to the RJ-45 serial port on the server using the supplied cable.

▼To Connect Using a Serial Connection

1.Verify that your terminal, laptop, or terminal server is operational.

2.Configure the terminal device or terminal emulation software to use the following settings:

■8,N,1: eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit.

CHAPTER 3

Monitoring the Server System Using

the Web-Based Interface

This chapter provides information about how to use the web-based interface and the Sun Fire X4150 server software to monitor your server.

It includes the following sections:

■“Using the Web-Based Interface” on page 11

■“Accessing the ELOM Using a Web Browser” on page 13

■“Viewing System and Component Information” on page 16

■“Monitoring the System Sensors” on page 19

■“Viewing and Managing the Event Log” on page 24

Note – You can monitor the rudimentary state of the server using the LED fault light. A solidly lit amber LED indicates critical error. Further details about the fault light can be found in your Service Manual. For information about controlling the state of the fault LEDs see “To Control the State of the System Indicator LED” on page 42.

Using the Web-Based Interface

The web-based graphical user interface (GUI) allows you to use a standard web browser to monitor and manage local and remote systems.

You can redirect the server’s console to a remote workstation or laptop system. This requires configuring the remote system’s keyboard and mouse to act as the server's keyboard and mouse. You can configure the diskette drive or CD-ROM drive on the

remote system as if it were connected to the Sun server. You can also redirect diskette images (.img files) and CD-ROM images (.iso files) for remote access. Remote configuration issues are covered in Chapter 5.

Browser and Software Requirements

The web-based interface has been tested successfully with recently released Mozilla™ Firefox and Internet Explorer web browsers, and might be compatible with other web browsers.

The ELOM product is preinstalled on the Sun server. However, you need Java™ software on the client to perform redirection as described in Chapter 5.

Users and Privileges

After you log in to the web-based interface, you can perform basic software tasks, Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) tasks, and system monitoring.

ELOM user accounts define what you can do by roles:

■Administrator – Enables read/write access to all ELOM features, functions, and commands.

■Operator, User, and Callback – Enable limited access to ELOM features, functions, and commands. For example, users with these permissions cannot change their assigned roles or privileges.

For more information about users, including how to manage user accounts using the web-based interface, see Chapter 4.

Web-Based Interface Tasks

Some of the common tasks you can perform using the web-based interface include:

Configuring connection methods:

■Redirect the system’s console to a remote client browser.

■Connect a remote diskette drive or diskette image to the system as a virtual diskette drive.

■Connect a remote CD-ROM drive or CD-ROM image to the system as a local or virtual CD-ROM drive.

12 Sun Fire X4150 Server Embedded Lights Out Manager Administration Guide • September 2007

Monitoring and managing system status:

■Monitor the status of system fans, temperatures, and voltages remotely.

■Monitor BIOS power-on self-test (POST) progress log entries remotely.

■View, save, and clear system event logs.

■Examine component information, including CPUs, DIMMs, voltages, and fans.

■Power on, power off, power cycle, reset the system remotely, reboot and enter the system BIOS, reboot and enter diagnostics (Pc-Check), and send NMI.

Managing and modifying system variables:

■Manage user accounts locally and remotely.

■Configure settings.

■Update BIOS firmware.

Accessing the ELOM Using a Web

Browser

The ELOM boots automatically when a Sun server is cabled appropriately and plugged in to an AC power supply. This usually occurs within one minute. However, if the management Ethernet is not connected, or if the ELOM's Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) process fails due to the absence of a DHCP server on the management network, the ELOM might take a few minutes longer to boot.

Note – Disabling the use of the browser proxy server (if one is used) for access to the management network might speed the browser response time.

▼To Access the ELOM Using a Web Browser

1.To log in to the web-based interface, type the IP address of the ELOM in your web browser.

The login screen appears.

2.In the login screen that appears, type the default user name and password.

Username: root

Password: changeme
