ILOM Platform Features for Sun Fire X2. Server. ILOM Platform Features for Sun Fire X2. Server. This chapter contains information about ILOM’s platform- specific features supported on the Sun Fire X2. Server. One light is positioned on the front of the server in the upper- left corner, and the other light is on the back of the server in the lower- center section. Use FIGURE 2- 1 and TABLE 2- 1 to find the location of the serial port and the network management Ethernet port on the Sun Fire X2. Server. By default, the SP console is connected to the system serial port. This feature is beneficial for Windows kernel debugging, as it enables you to view non- ASCII character traffic from the host console.

For instructions, see the following sections. Log in to the ILOM web interface.

Select Configuration Serial Port. Click the Owner drop- down list and select Host Server as the desired serial port owner. Click Save for your change to take effect. Log in to the ILOM CLI. To set the serial port owner, type. SP/serial/portsharing owner=host.

How to reset/recover Integrated Lights Out Manager. Connect to ILOM via serial. 5 responses to “How to reset/recover Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM).

By default, owner=SP. Some faults are cleared automatically when the failed component is replaced, but faults generated for components that are not hot- pluggable have to be cleared manually. You can use either the ILOM web interface or the command- line interface (CLI) to manually clear faults.

Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) is the service processor embedded on all Oracle's SPARC Enterprise T-series and Sun Fire x86 servers, including. I have tried to enable the ILOM port on our Sun 7410 storage servers but the interface is not working when connected to an Gigabit Ethernet cable (LED is.

For information on how to use the ILOM web interface or the CLI to clear server faults, see the Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager 2. User’s Guide (8. 20- 1. The ILOM sideband management feature enables you to select either the NET MGT port or one of the server’s Gigabit Ethernet ports (NET 0, 1), which are in- band ports, to send and receive ILOM commands to and from the server SP. In- band ports are also called sideband ports. In configurations where a great number of servers are being managed, such as data centers, sideband management can represent a significant savings in hardware and network utilization. For instructions, see the following sections.

Special Considerations for Sideband Management. When sideband management is enabled in ILOM, the following conditions might occur. In- chip connectivity between the SP and the host operating system might not be supported by the on- board host Gigabit Ethernet controller.

After that we could not get the login prompt from ILOM console. So you need configure linux console to serial port. Can you see output of POST on /SP/console? Introduction to ILOM Integrated Lights Out Manager. You can connect a terminal or PC running terminal emulator software directly to the system serial port. This chapter describes how to set up and access Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) for Exalogic compute nodes. It contains the following topics. How to enable Serial port on ILOM, when Network Port is enabled in parallel Solaris. There are two ways that you can setup the ILOM feature on your SUN X4100 or X4200 series. Through the serial port 2. Method 1: Through the serial port. Accessing the SPARC System Console. Ensure that the serial port on your connecting device is set to the following.Normally we will use hyper terminal for this. Parameters: 9600 baudrate.

If this condition occurs, use a different port or route to transmit traffic between the source and destination targets instead of using L2 bridging/switch. You should configure the adjacent switch/bridge ports as host ports. Note that if the ports are configured as switch ports and participate in the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), you might experience longer outages due to spanning tree recalculation. Log in to the ILOM web interface. Select Configuration - -> Network. In the Network Settings page, do the following.

Select DHCP to acquire the IP address automatically or specify the appropriate IP address. Click Save for the changes to take effect. Log in to the ILOM CLI using the SP’s serial console port. To show the current port settings, type.

SP/network. The network properties appear. For example. Properties. Cannot show property).

To set the SP management port to a sideband port, type the following commands. SP/network pendingmanagementport=/SYS/MB/NETn. Where n equals 0 or 1.

To view the change, type. SP/network. The network properties appear and show that the change has taken effect. For example. Properties.

Cannot show property). Using ipmitool commands, you can perform server initialization, monitoring, and maintenance tasks from the host operating system. IPMI is an industry- supported standard for performing autonomous platform management functions. For a description of the ipmitool commands and options, see the ipmitool manpage on the web at. For a listing of the present server components, SP event log entries, or SP information on the network interface card (NIC), use the following ipmitool commands that are appropriate for your server operating system.

SPARC: Accessing the system console, ALOM, ILOM, XSCF“How do I access the Open. Boot prompt on my SPARC system?”  or, “How do I access the system console on my SPARC system?”  I address these questions in chapter 3 of my new book, “Solaris 1. System Administration.”   For a complete discussion, pick up a copy of my book, because you really need to understand the entire poweron and bootup process if you have access to the console. Some servers have a graphics card and keyboard connected to them. Although it’s not recommended, the system console can be redirected to the graphics frame buffer.

You cannot use a local graphics monitor to perform initial system installation, nor can you use a local graphics monitor to view POST messages. In most data centers, the console is connected to either the serial management (SER MGT) port or the network management (NET MGT) port on the server.

Modern SPARC servers have a connection labeled “SER MGT” or “NET MGT,” which is an RJ- 4. When the system is powered on, and if a keyboard is not detected, the console defaults to this port. This port provides access to the system console, also called the system control facility. The system control facility enables you to remotely manage and administer your server. Depending on the SPARC hardware, the connection to the system control facility will differ. All T1. 00. 0 and T2.

ALOM. The T3, T4, T5xx, and T6xxx series servers use Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM). The M- series Enterprise servers use the e. Xtended System Control Facility (XSCF). All three system control facilities are different from one another, and I recommend that you refer to the documentation for your specific server. For the examples used in this book, I’ll be covering ALOM and ILOM.

For more information on using ALOM, refer to “Advanced Lights Out Management (ALOM) CMT v. Guide,” part number 8. Oracle’s online technical library at http: //docs. For more information on ILOM, refer to “Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager 3.

Documentation,” part number E2. Oracle’s online technical library at http: //docs.

These documents are located in the “Systems Management and Diagnostics” section. For more information on using XSCF, refer to “SPARC Enterprise M3. M4. 00. 0/M5. 00. M8. 00. 0/M9. 00. Servers XSCF User’s Guide,” part number E2. XSCF Reference Manual for the hardware platform with which you are working. These documents are available at Oracle’s online technical library at http: //docs.

These documents are located in the “SPARC Enterprise Servers” documentation section. ALOM and the System Controller. The T1. 00. 0 and T2.

SPARC servers come preconfigured to allow input and output only by means of the ALOM system controller. The system controller’s circuitry runs independently of the server, using the server’s standby power.

Therefore, ALOM firmware and software continue to function when the server OS goes offline or when the server is powered off. The ALOM system controller is accessed through either the SER MGT port or the NET MGT port.

Accessing the ALOM system console through the SER MGT port is the default configuration on most systems. Connect an ASCII terminal using a null modem serial cable with an RJ4. SER MGT port. The default configuration is: 9. BAUD8 bits. No parity.

No handshaking (set hardware flow control to none)By default, the NET MGT port is configured to retrieve its IP address and other network configuration information using a local Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server and allows connections using the Secure Shell (SSH). Most system administrators use the NET MGT port for connecting to the system console.

This port can be configured to accept connections from a telnet client or SSH clients, but not both. The network configuration for the NET MGT port can be modified by connecting to the NET MGT port using either an SSH or telnet client (or connecting to the SER MGT port) and modifying the network configuration manually on the system controller.
