T5220 ILOM(ALOM) 2.

0 InfoDoc
Useful commands to administer the T5120/T5220 from the ILOM including setting up user accounts ( factory default root:changeme) By default the server is configured to operate under an ILOM shell. You can create an ALOM compatibility shell if you prefer to use commands that resemble ALOM commands to administer the server Logon using default credentials of (root:changeme)
-> create /SP/users/admin then -> set /SP/users/admin role=Administrator then ->set /SP/users/admin cli_mode=alom Or alternatively on one line.... -> create /SP/users/admin role=Administrator cli_mode=alom -> exit (wallop you have the sc>) Log into the ALOM shell as indicated now by the sc> In the ALOM compatibility shell (with a few exceptions) you can use commands that resemble the commands of ALOM. Remember that the ALOM compatibility shell is an ILOM interface, ENJOY!!!!!!!!

ILOM Commands

Setting OBP variables from the ILOM

-> set /HOST/bootmode script=value i.e -> set /HOST/bootmode state=reset_nvram script="setenv diag-switch? true" After the server resets and OpenBoot PROM reads the values stored in the script, it sets the OBPROM variable diag-switch? to the user-requested value of true. Display the Hosts MAC Address -> show /HOST macaddress Display the Hosts OpenBoot Version -> show /HOST obp_version Display the Hosts POST Version -> show /HOST post_version Specify the Level of Diagnostics -> set /HOST/diag level=value #min or max Level of Verbosity in Diagnostic Output -> set /HOST/diag verbosity=value

none Diagnostics do not print any output on the system console when running, unless a fault is detected. min Diagnostics print a limited amount of output on the system console. normal Diagnostics print a moderate amount of output on the system console (the default value). max Diagnostics print full output on the system console, including the name and results of each test being run. debug Diagnostics print extensive debugging output on the system console, including devices being tested and debug output of each test. Enable System to Send a Break or Force Core Dump -> set /HOST send_break_action=value break Sends a break to the host. dumpcore Forces a panic core dump of the managed system OS (not supported by all OS versions). Display Host Status -> show /HOST status Reset the SP Settings to Factory Defaults -> set /SP reset_to_defaults=all

View Power Management Properties -> show /SP/powermgmt View the Total Power Consumed -> show /SYS/VPS (the same as /SP/powermgmt actual_power) Display the DHCP Servers IP Address -> show /SP/network Generate New Set of SSH Keys -> set /SP/services/ssh generate_new_key_action=true Restart SSH Server -> set /SP/services/ssh restart_sshd_action=true Enable/ Disable SSH Service -> set /SP/services/ssh state=value (enable or disable) # enable is the default Control the Virtual Keyswitch -> set /SYS keyswitch_state=value normal The system can power itself on and start the boot process (the default). standby Powers off the HOST, cannot power itself on. diag The system can power itself on using preset values of diagnostic properties (/HOST/diag level=max, /HOST/diag mode=max, /HOST/diag verbosity=max) to provide thorough fault coverage. This option overrides the values of diagnostic properties that you might have set. locked The system can power itself on, however you are prohibited from updating any of the flash devices or setting /HOST send_break_action Display Component Status -> show -o table -level all /SYS component_state or -> show components (an alias setup to make life easier)

ALOM/ILOM Shell Config Commands Comparison

ALOM CMT Command password setdate [[mmdd]HHMM |mmddHHMM[cc]yy][.SS] setdefaults Summary Changes the login password of the current user. Sets ALOM CMT date and time. Resets all ALOM CMT configuration parameters to their default values. The a option resets the user information to the factory default (one admin account only). Sets the status of the virtual keyswitch. Setting the virtual keyswitch to standby (stby) powers off the server. Before powering off the host server, ALOM CMT asks for a confirmation. Sets the specified ALOM CMT parameter to the assigned value. Runs the interactive configuration script. This script configures the ALOM CMT configuration variables. Displays information about the host systems hardware configuration, and whether the hardware is providing service. The v option displays verbose information about the displayed components. Displays version information for host-side components. Displays information about the field-replaceable units (FRUs) in a host server. Displays a list of users currently logged in to Comparable ILOM Command set /SP/users/username password set /SP/clock datetime=value set /SP reset_to_defaults= configuration

ALOM CMT. The display for this command has a similar format to that of the UNIX command who.The g option pauses the display after the number of lines you specify for The version option displays the same information as the showhost command with no option. Displays status of virtual keyswitch Displays the current nonvolatile random access memory (NVRAM) configuration parameters. Displays the ALOM CMT date. ALOM CMT time is expressed in (UTC) rather than local time. The Solaris OS and ALOM CMT time are not synchronized. Displays a list of all user accounts, permission levels, and whether passwords are assigned Adds a user account to ALOM CMT Deletes a user account from ALOM CMT. The y option enables you to skip the confirmation question. Sets or changes a user password. Sets the permission level for a user account.

ALOM Shell Log, Shell Status and Control Commands

showlogs [b lines|e lines|v] [g lines] [-p logtype[r|p]] Displays the history of all events logged in the ALOM CMT RAM event log, or major and critical events in the persistent log. The p option selects whether to display entries only from the RAM event log (logtype r) or the persistent event log (logtype p). Displays the host server console output buffers. Displays the environmental status of the host server. This information includes system temperatures, power supply status, front panel LED status, hard disk drive status, fan status, voltage, and current sensor status. Displays power metrics for the host server. Displays the current network configuration information. The v option shows additional information about your network, including information about your DHCP server. Connects to the host system console. The f option forces the console write lock from one user to another. Drops the host server from running the Solaris OS software into OpenBoot PROM or kmdb depending upon the mode in which the Solaris software was booted. As above show /SP/logs/event/list

bootmode [normal] [reset_nvram] [config= configname][bootscript = string] flashupdate s IPaddr f pathname [v]

Controls the host server OpenBoot PROM firmware method of booting. Downloads and updates system firmware (both host firmware and ALOM CMT firmware). For ILOM, ipaddr must be a TFTP server. If DHCP is used, ipaddr can be replaced by the name of the TFTP host. Attempts to gracefully reset the system. If that fails, this option forcefully reset the system. As above Forcefully resets the system Attempts to gracefully reset the control domain. If that fails, this option forcefully reset the control domain. Forcefully resets the control domain poweroff followed by poweron. The f option forces an immediate poweroff, otherwise the command attempts a graceful shutdown. Removes the main power from the host server. The y option enables you to skip the confirmation question. The f option forces an immediate shutdown. Applies the main power to the host server or FRU. Turns the Locator LED on the server on or off. Displays current valid system faults. Manually repairs system faults Displays the current state of the Locator LED as either on or off

ALOM Shell FRU & ASR Commands

setfru c data The c option enables you to store information (such as inventory codes) on all FRUs in a system. Displays information about the FRUs in a host server. Prepares a FRU (for example, a power supply) for removal. The y option enables you to skip the confirmation question. Removes a component from the asr-db blacklist. Adds a component to the asr-db blacklist. Displays system components and their test status (ASR state). Removes all entries from the asr-db blacklist. Reboots ALOM CMT. The y option enables you to skip the confirmation question. Sets the type of shell to shelltype, where shelltype is default or alom. set /SYS customer_frudata= data No equivalent in ILOM set /SYS/PS0 prepare_to_remove_action = true set /SYS/component component_state=enabled set /SYS/component component_state=disabled show /SYS/component component_state reset /SP will clear FBDIMM fault from the log reset /SP
