LOM

Sun and Oracle LOM (lights out management) - ALOM, ILOM or XSCF.

Telnet or SSH to management interface (if configured), otherwise establish a serial connection (RJ45) to the server ("tip hardwire", laptop...). More details on serial connections can be found here. You will also need to know the administrative account and password.

The following set of commands will configure the service console for remote access, then power-on the server for console access,

ALOM

setdate

setsc if_network true

setsc if_connection "telnet or ssh"

setsc netsc_dhcp false

setsc netsc_ipaddr ip_address

setsc netsc_ipnetmask netmask

setsc netsc_ipgateway gw_address

setsc netsc_commit      < or resetsc >

useradd newuser

userpassword newuser

userperm newuser cuar

poweron

console -f

#.

ILOM

Be sure to connect the Net Mgt cable (state=enabled) first, then use the serial connection, Eg. server serial port to laptop via USB RS232 DB9 adapter, provides COM port for Putty).

set /SP/clock datetime=MMDDhhmmYYYY timezone=AEST
set /SP/services/http servicestate=enabled

set /SP hostname=newhost
set /SP/network pendingipdiscovery=static

set /SP/network pendingipaddress=192.168.1.10 
set /SP/network pendingipnetmask=255.255.255.0
set /SP/network pendingipgateway=192.168.1.1
set /SP/network commitpending=true
show /SP/network

create /SP/users/newuser

set /SP/users/newuser password=password role=cuar
set /HOST send_break_action=break

start /SYS

start -force /SP/console

#.

Additional actions commonly used, refer manual,

reset /SP

To update the ILOM firmware, stop zones and services, go into the extracted directory, review the existing revision, then apply the new,

./sysfwdownload -g
./sysfwdownload -u *Firmware*.pkg

System will reboot.

XSCF

Turned the key from service to locked and back as directed, gotta do it quick to

avoid the timeout, then you get the XSCF prompt. Here we do a bit more than just enable remote access,

adduser newuser

password newuser

setprivileges newuser useradm auditadm platadm

showuser -l

showtimezone -c tz      

settimezone -c settz -a

settimezone -c settz -s Australia/Brisbane

showdate

setdate -s 092516002009.00

showssh

setssh -c enable

shownetwork -a

setnetwork xscf#0-lan#0 -m 255.255.255.0 192.168.10.10

sethostname xscf#0 newhost

sethostname -d ourdomain.com.au

showhostname -a

showroute -a

setroute -c add -n 0.0.0.0 -g 192.168.10.1 xscf#0-lan#0

shownameserver

setnameserver 192.168.10.98 192.168.10.99
setntp 192.168.10.1

applynetwork

rebootxscf -y

showssh

shownetwork -a

showroute -a

nslookup newhost

ping 192.168.10.1

showsmtp

setsmtp -s mailserver=mailhost.ourdomain.com.au -s port=25 -s replyaddress=me@ourdomain.com.au

showemailreport

setemailreport

showlogs power

poweron -d 0

console -d 0

Connect to DomainID 0?[y|n] :y

ok

#.

exit

OK we allowed SSH access. To add a public key,

showssh -c pubkey -u fred

setssh -c addpubkey -u fred

Paste the key, press ctrl-d to finish.

To allow HTTPS access,

sethttps -c genserverkey
sethttps -c selfsign AU Queensland Brisbane MyCoy IT MyCoy me@mycoy.com
sethttps -c enable
rebootxscf 

Login at https://your-server-oob, and proceed to update XCP if required. Use the Utilities and Firmware Update dialogs to upload the firmware (the .tar.gz file), and then Update.
Alternately, use SSH access to apply the update,

version -c xcp -v
getflashimage -l
flashupdate -c check -m xcp -s 1123
flashupdate -c update -m xcp -s 1123

To upload the firmware update via USB

getflashimage -l file://media/usb_msd/IKXCP1121.tar.gz

Decommissioning

To wipe the internal drives, and reset the service console to defaults. Shutdown Solaris (init 0 at the console), example here is for ALOM and two internal disks. Note, you could also write a file per disk and background each operation, and finish much quicker,

boot cdrom -s

echo | format

echo "disk 0\nanalyze\npurge\nquit" > /tmp/wipe.txt

echo "disk 1\nanalyze\npurge\nquit\nquit\n" >> /tmp/wipe.txt

format -f /tmp/wipe.txt

init 0

#.

setdefaults –a

resetsc

For ILOM, something like this,

set /SP reset_to_defaults=factory

stop /SYS

reset /SP
