Sun ILOM – T5220, T5240, x4600, X4450 configure

ILOM is an independent system controller providing a command-line interface and web based interface on T-series oracle sun server hardware's like T5120, T5220, T5240, T5440 T3, T-4 servers.It can monitor system temperature,voltages,internal disks, chassis fans,CPU's and power supplies.We can configure ilom with snmp to send hardware alerts.ILOM provides remote system administration and Java web-based console provides much easier than the command line.Another important feature is host control.We can switch on and switch off the system remotely. Here we will see step by step procedure of configuring ILOM: 

Step-1.Connect to the ILOM using serial port:
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
8 bits
No parity
1 stop bit
No handshaking

Establish an ILOM service processor session.See the ILOM user’s guide for instructions.
Type the default user name – root
Type the default password changeme

Step-2. Set User accounts:
After logging in to ILOM console,creating new account called admin

-> cd /SP/users -> create admin role=administrator Creating user… Created /SP/users/admin -> set root password You will be prompted for a password, change to new password

Step-3. Set SP Hostname:
-> set /SP hostname=’server hostname’-lom  Set hostname to ‘server hostname’-lom

Step-4. Set Network time:
> set /SP/clients/ntp/server/1 address=xx.xx.xx.xxx Set ‘address’ to ‘xx.xx.xx.xxx’
 -> set /SP/clients/ntp/server/2 address=xx.xx.xx.xxx Set ‘address’ to ‘xx.xx.xx.xxx’ -> show /SP/clients/ntp/server/1 /SP/clients/ntp/server/1 Targets: Properties: address = xx.xx.xx.xxx Commands: cd set show
 -> show /SP/clients/ntp/server/2 /SP/clients/ntp/server/2 Targets: Properties: address = xx.xx.xx.xxx Commands: cd set show
 -> cd /SP/clock /SP/clock -> set usentpserver=enabled Set ‘usentpserver’ to ‘enabled’ /SP/clock
 -> show Targets: Properties: datetime = Sat Sep 28 19:23:41 2013 usentpserver = enabled Commands: cd set show

Step-5. Set Network Configuration:
Connect an Ethernet cable to the network management port.

-> cd /SP/network Refer to CMDB for ipaddress,netmask,gateway
-> set pendingipaddress=nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn -> set pendingipnetmask=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
-> set pendingipgateway=ggg.ggg.ggg.ggg -> set pendingipdiscovery=static -> set commitpending=true -> show

Step-6. Set SSH access and HTTP(S):

-> cd /SP/services -> set ssh state=enabled -> set http servicestate=enabled -> set http secureredirect=enabled -> set https servicestate=enabled -> show ssh state /SP/services/ssh Properties: state = enabled -> show http /SP/services/http Targets: Properties: port = 80 secureredirect = enabled servicestate = enabled -> show https /SP/services/https Targets: ssl Properties: port = 443 servicestate = enabled
Now you will able to use system console remotely by using console IP on ssh service and http web service.To access web-based Ilom console,just enter the console IP in browser and access web console.
