Learning the Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) will be a big help when a System Administrator cannot login anymore to the server. ILOM can be accessed via IP network or serial console. Here are some of the most commonly used commands that could get anyone on track on managing the ILOM:
Display SP firmware version:
-> version
Show available CLI commands:
-> show /SP/cli/commands
Display help information about commands and targets
-> help
Connect to host serial console:
-> start /SP/console
List users with open sessions to the system console (who is using the console?):
-> show /SP/sessions
Terminate a server console session started by another user:
-> stop /SP/console
Power on host:
-> start /SYS
Power off host:
-> stop /SYS
Reset host:
-> reset /SYS
Reset ILOM:
-> reset /SP
Enable locate LED:
-> set /SYS LOCATE=on
Disable locate LED:
-> set /SYS LOCATE=off
Add a local user account:
-> create /SP/users/username password=password role=[administrator|operator]
Displaying Users:
-> show /SP/users
