Most Oracle/Sun x86 based servers come with Integrated Lights Out Management (ILOM). This allows you full remote control of the server if you need it, including KVM. The following is true for the X4100 and X4200 at least. In order to use it, you need to do the following:
1. Connect to the serial port with your favourite terminal emulator, with these settings:
8N1: eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit 9600 baud Disable hardware flow control (CTS/RTS) Disable software flow control (XON/XOFF)
2. You should see the command prompt. Enter the default username and password:
Username: root Password: changeme
3. Reset the root password:
set /SP/users/root password
Follow the prompts.
4. Make sure the network management port is plugged into the network and then do the following to give the ILOM a static IP:
cd /SP/network set pendingipaddress=129.144.82.26 set pendingipnetmask=255.255.255.0 set pendingipgateway=129.144.82.254 set pendingipdiscovery=static set commitpending=true
And then use the 'show' command to see that it's worked:
-> show
/SP/network
Targets:
Properties:
commitpending = (Cannot show property)
ipaddress = 129.144.82.26
ipdiscovery = Static
ipgateway = 129.144.82.254
ipnetmask = 255.255.255.0
macaddress = 00:03:BA:XX:XX:XX
pendingipaddress = 129.144.82.26
pendingipdiscovery = Static
pendingipgateway = 129.144.82.254
pendingipnetmask = 255.255.255.0
Commands:
cd
set
show
