Server Management Tools

• Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM)

• American Megatrends Inc. BIOS (AMIBIOS)

• Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI)

One key server management tool is 1the Integrated Lights Out Manager, known as ILOM. Another tool,

made available during the booting of the server’s operating system, is 2the American Megatrend Inc’s

BIOS, known as AMIBIOS. 3The Intelligent Platform Management Interface or IPMI is also available and

can be accessed through the IPMItool user interface software.

Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM)

• M2 servers ships with ILOM 3.0.9.x

• X2270, X4170, X4270 and X4275 servers can

be upgraded from ILOM version 2 to version 3

Configuration and administration

• Diagnostic capabilities

• Finer definitions of role privileges

• Service mode

NOTE: For more information on ILOM 3.0 refer to the

ILOM 3.0 presentation and the ILOM 3.0 Interactive Tasks course


The M2 servers will ship with Integrated Lights Out Manager version 3.0.9 while the X2270, X4170, X4270 and X4275 servers can upgrade their current ILOM version 2 to version 3. Its main functions are still

1server configuration and administration but it has more diagnostic capabilities for the users as well as

the service personnel. 3The role privileges have finer definitions to better distinguish what roles are

needed to execute specific commands or actions. 4A service mode, with a more secure password, can be

accessed by service personnel to perform more intense troubleshooting. 5Note, for more information on

ILOM 3.0 refer to this link and the ILOM 3.0 Interactive Tasks course.6

The M2 servers will ship with BIOS from American Megatrends Incorporated 1and will use new version

formats that reflect the product platform, generation or a major release, the official release that is a sequential number and the internal build number. As of the release of this presentation the BIOS version that will ship with the M2 servers has not been determined, so to display the BIOS version navigate to its main Setup screen. As with ILOM,

2its functions are still mainly server configuration and administration with a key function

3of

running the Power On System Tests, referred to as POST, then performing an operating system boot if POST passes. 4Integrated within the service processor hardware is IPMI. This server

5will ship with IPMI version 2 which

performs 6the hardware status collection and reports on hardware events through its IPMI system event

logs and system indicators. 7IPMI also performs control functions through IPMItool software commands

and system buttons it interprets.

Default Serial Port Parameters:

• 9600 Baud

• 8 bits

• No parity

• 1 stop bit

• No flow control

From a terminal monitor connection

to the SERMGT:Login: root

Password: ********

From a network device connection

to the NETMGT:# ssh root@IPaddress

Login: root

Password: ********

Once connected to the serial management port, the terminal device or terminal server needs to be configured

1to the default port parameters listed here. If the connection was successful,

2the ILOM login

prompt should display on the terminal device monitor. Log in using the factory default root account with its password of changeme, assuming this password has not been modified. 3Once connected to the network management port and assuming it has been configured, the ILOM CLI

can be accessed through this port using the secure shell command. The ILOM CLI login prompt should appear and the default root account and password is then entered.

4Using either method to log in, if you

are successful, the ILOM arrow prompt should display.5

12

Configuring the Serial Management Port

The baud rate and the flow control are the only parameters that can

be modified on the serial management port.

For example:-> set /SP/serial/host pendingspeed=115200

-> set /SP/serial/external pendingspeed=115200

-> set /SP/serial/host pendingflowcontrol=software

-> set /SP/serial/external pendingflowcontrol=software

-> set /SP/serial/host commitpending=true

-> set /SP/serial/external commitpending=true


The baud rate and flow control are the only parameters that can be modified on the serial management port.

1For example to change the baud rate to 115200 and flow control to software use the ILOM

commands displayed.2

X427x and X427x M2

network device network device

Access to the network port requires the network port to be configured from within ILOM or use its default network configuration where a local DHCP server assigns the port IP address.

15

Configuring the Network Management Port

Network Management Port configurations:

• DHCP IP address assignment

MAC address configured on a local DHCP server

Set discovery mode to DHCP

• Static IP address assignment

Set discovery mode to Static

Set a unique IP address

For example:-> set /SP/network pendingipdiscovery=static

-> set /SP/network pendingipaddress=172.20.45.111

-> set /SP/network pendingipgateway=172.20.45.248

-> set /SP/network pendingipnetmask=255.255.255.0

-> set /SP/network commitpending=true


NOTE: This same task can be accomplished the ILOM BUI by navigating

to the network screen using the navigation path Configuration->Network.

The network management port does come pre-configured to use 1a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

server to get its IP address assigned. This requires that 2the MAC address of the network management

port be configured on a DHCP server that is connected to the same network as that of the network management port before setting up the rest of network management port configuration and verifying that 3the discovery mode is DHCP.

Another method is to configure

4a static IP address which just requires configuring the network

management port to 5a static discovery mode along with the other

6network management port parameters.

7The following set of ILOM commands are used to configure the port’s discovery mode, IP address,

gateway IP address, and network mask, along with a command to commit the parameter changes. 8Note,

this same task can be accomplished using the ILOM BUI by navigating to the network screen using the path displayed.

Accessing IPMI

Intelligent Peripheral Management Interface (IPMI): • Incorporated in the service processor‟s hardware

• Performs system monitoring and server management

• T&D DVD or http://nsgrelease.sfbay.sun.com/products/ipmitool

• For example:# ipmitool -V

ipmitool version #.#.#


The Intelligent Peripheral Management Interface, known as IPMI, 1is incorporated in the service

processor’s hardware and performs system monitoring and server management. Its command line

interface is accessible through the IPMItool. 2This software is available through the Tools and Driver DVD

or can be downloaded from the link displayed. Once IPMItool is installed and started up you will encounter an IPMItool command prompt where you can enter an IPMItool command.

3The example displayed lists the IPMItool firmware version.

21

Secure the ILOM root Password

For example:-> set root password

Enter new password: ********

Enter new password again: ********

->

BUI navigation path:User Management -> User Accounts

NOTE: Remember to test the new root password


Before starting any configuration and administration tasks it is recommended to secure the ILOM root account by changing its password.

1The ILOM commands displayed is an example on how to modify the

root password or any other account’s password. Within the ILOM BUI, 2the root password can be

modified using the navigation path displayed. 3Note, remember to test the new root password by exiting and logging in using the new password with

either the CLI or BUI.4

22

Secure the BIOS


You can set the BIOS supervisor password by navigating to the Security screen and selecting the Change Supervisor Password entry. This will step you through the process of setting up a supervisor

password.1

23

ILOM Account Extended Roles

Legacy Account Roles:

• Administrator

• Operator

Extended Account Roles:

• (a) admin – view/change all configuration variables states.

• (u) user management - perform user management functions

• (c) console – access of the remote and SP consoles

• (r) reset and host control – operate the system

• (o) read-only – view the state of the ILOM configuration variables

• (s) service – perform services-only commands in service mode.

NOTE: Each ILOM command or action is assigned the appropriate

roles. So only the user logged in with the matching roles can execute

the command or action.

One new feature of ILOM version 3 is the extended roles that can be assigned to the log in accounts for a finer grained division of the user roles.

1The roles of administrator and operator are the ILOM version 2

legacy roles that are being maintained with the addition of the extended roles. 2The admin role allows the user to view and change the state of all ILOM configuration variables which

authorizes the user to perform all ILOM functions. 3The user management role allows the user to perform

all ILOM functions related to user management and security. 4The console role allows the user to access

the remote and SP consoles along with viewing and changing the state of the ILOM console configuration variables.

5The reset and host control role allows the user to operate the system, which includes power

control, reset, hot-plug, enabling or disabling components, and fault management. 6The read-only role

allows the user to view the state of the ILOM configuration variables but cannot make any changes. 7The

service role allows the user to perform services-only commands in service mode. 8Note, each ILOM

command or action is assigned the appropriate roles. So only the user logged in with the matching roles can execute the command or action.

24

Creating Accounts with Extended Roles

NOTE: A user logging in with this account will be able to perform

system operator functions, but with will not be able to change the

server‟s configuration or perform user management.

For example:-> create /SP/users/sys_oper role=cro

Creating user...

Enter new password: ********

Enter new password again: ********

Created /SP/users/sys_oper

->


BUI navigation path:

User Management -> User Accounts

An example of how to create an ILOM account with the roles listed is displayed. 1Note, a user logging in

with this account will be able perform system operator functions, but will not be able to change the server’s configuration or perform user management. 2If you prefer to use the ILOM BUI, log in through the network management port and navigate to the

screen displayed here.3

25

Verifying the HW Configuration using ILOM


NOTE: These components can also be listed using:-> show <target>

Once you are properly logged into ILOM, 1navigate to the inventory screen to verify the server’s hardware

configuration. The table listed contains 2the component name, which is a link to more information about

the component, 3its type, like CPU, DIMM, FMOD,

4and its fault status.

5This list was filtered to show only

faulted components. 6Note, these components can also be listed using the ILOM command displayed by

placing the component path and name in the target field.7

26

Verifying the HW State using LEDs and ILOM

• LEDs

Power / OK green LED

OFF – AC power is not present or the ILOM boot has

not completed.

STANDY BLINK – Standby power is on, but the chassis

power is off and the ILOM SP is running.

SLOW BLINK– Startup sequence has been initiated on

the host.

STEADY ON – The server is powered on and all host

POST tests have completed.

Service Action Required amber LED (fault LED)

Individual amber fault LEDs (Fan, Power Supplies and

temperature)

The system LEDs located in the front and rear of the server chassis consists of a set of standard LEDs. 1The green Power/OK LED indicates the operational state of the chassis.

2When it is turned off, it can

either be due to AC power not being present or that the ILOM boot has not completed. 3If it is in a standby

blink state, the standby power is on the chassis power is off and the ILOM service processor is running. 4In a slow blink state, the host startup sequence has been initiated.

5When the Power/OK LED is steady

on, the server is powered and POST has completed. 6The amber Service Action Required LED will light whenever a hardware failure is detected

7then you can

use the individual amber fault LEDs to start isolating the problem.

27

Verifying the HW State using LEDs and ILOM

• ILOM (CLI and BUI)

See fault summary :

-> show /SP/faultmgmt -level all

Navigation Path: System Information -> Fault Management


The ILOM’s CLI and BUI interfaces have a Fault Summary that can be displayed using the show command or the following the navigation path listed. In either case, the output indicates whether there are any faulty components.

1

28

Power Up Sequence

1. AC power connected the ILOM on the SP starts to

boot while the Power/OK LED remains off.

2. Once the ILOM is booted the Power/OK LED starts

to blink in the standby blink mode.

3. If the server is then booted, the Power/OK LED will

slow down its blink rate in what is referred to as the

slow blink mode.

4. Once the server passes POST and has booted, the

Power/OK LED remains steady in what is referred

to as the steady on mode.

Knowing the server’s power up sequence can assist in locating a system problem. 1When AC power is

connected, the ILOM on the SP starts to boot while the Power/OK LED remains off. 2Once the ILOM is

booted the Power/OK LED starts to blink in the standby blink mode. 3If the server is then booted, the

Power/OK LED will slow down its blink rate in what is referred to as the slow blink mode. 4Once the

server passes POST and has booted, the Power/OK LED remains steady in what is referred to as the steady on mode.

29

Accessing the Preboot Menu

Accessing Preboot menu:• Method 1: During SP boot, type “xyzzy” when the following

message appears “Booting linux in x seconds...”

• Method 2: Hold down the node Locator button for two seconds

while the SP is resetting

ILOM Preboot MenuType "h" and [Enter] for a list of commands, or "?" [Enter] forcommand-line

key bindings. Type "h cmd" for summary of 'cmd„ command.

Warning: SP will warm-reset after 300 seconds of idle time.Set 'bootretry' to -

1 to disable the time-out.Service mode enabled; check_physical_presence =

'<null>'.

Preboot>


Another utility available on the SP is the Preboot menu. It provides some administrative and well as diagnostic capabilities. There are two methods to access the Preboot menu.

1In the first method, when

you are on the remote console, type “xyzzy” while the SP is booting at the point where the message displayed here shows up on the console.

2In the second method, when you are in front of the server, you

can hold down the Locator button for two seconds while the SP is resetting. 3Using either method, the Preboot prompt should then display indicating that your within the Preboot

menu, as you can see here. Now click on the attachment tab and select the Preboot Access and Preboot Help entries to display a sample SP reset output and a list of Preboot commands.

30

Resetting the ILOM Password using Preboot


If the ILOM password is forgotten there is a Preboot menu method to

set the ILOM password back to factory default.

Reset the ILOM root account password back to factory default::

• Access the PreBoot Menu

• Reset the passwordPreboot> unconfig password

preserve_password=no

• Reset the SP

If the ILOM password is forgotten there is a method using the Preboot menu to set the ILOM password back to factory default.

1Once the you reach the PreBoot prompt, as we did earlier in this presentation,

use 2the unconfig command to set the preserve password parameter to “no”,

3then reset the SP. The SP

ILOM root account’s password should now be changeme, its factory default.4

31

Serial Port SharingA new facility called port sharing, available through ILOM, that is

available to share the ILOM user interface and OS console on the

serial port.

Advantages of port sharing:• More reliable operation than “start /SP/console”

• Switched ownership persists across reboots of the SP

NOTE: It is recommended to setup SP network access before

switching ownership to host console or else the only way to

switch back to SP console will be from Preboot menu

A new facility named port sharing, available through ILOM, controls whether the ILOM user interface or the OS console is configured to use the serial port.

1Yes, the ILOM start command was used to enable

the OS console on the serial port, but port sharing is more reliable than the start command 2and switched

ownership is persistent when a SP reboot occurs. 3Note, it is recommended to setup SP network access before switching ownership to host console or else

the only way to switch back to SP console will be from Preboot menu.

32

Configuring Serial Port Sharing

Setting up the OS console on the serial port:

ILOM CLI :-> cd /SP/serial/portsharing

/SP/serial/portsharing

-> show /SP/serial/portsharing

Targets:

Properties:

owner = sp

-> set owner=host

Set 'owner' to 'host‘

-> show /SP/serial/portsharing

Targets:

Properties:

owner = host

ILOM BUI :

• Navigate to:Configuration -> Serial Port

• Enter either SP or host on the owner

drop down menu

• Save your change.


To configure the serial port for use by the OS console perform the following ILOM CLI commands along with the show command for verification.

1You can perform the same action using the ILOM BUI by

navigating to the path displayed here, then entering either SP or host from a drop down menu and saving your change. Click on the attachment tab and select the ILOM Port Sharing entry to view the ILOM Port sharing window.

Verifying ILOM and CPLD FW VersionsILOM firmware version from spsh:-> version

SP firmware 3.0.9.15

SP firmware build number: #####

SP firmware date: Fri Jan 20 14:03:21 EDT 2010

SP filesystem version: #.#.#

CPLD main board firmware version from sunservice:[(flash)root@SUNSP-1003DF0004:~]# cpld_update.sh -i

This platform is:

Current CPLD Version : 15

Version in ILOM flash: 15

CPLD flash riser firmware version from sunservice:[(flash)root@SUNSP-1003DF0004:~]# cpld2_update.sh -i

This platform is:

Version in the CPLD : 19

Version in the Image : 19


Earlier when we first brought up BIOS, we saw that its firmware level was displayed on the splash screen. 1To display the ILOM version you can perform an ILOM command within the SP shell. Note, that all

information displayed is important in properly identifying the firmware level. 2The Complex Programming

Logic Device may need firmware for a main board and a flash riser. The commands listed are run from within the sunservice account and display the firmware levels.

Backup / Restore the ILOM Configuration

Backup the ILOM configuration:-> set passphrase=<security phrase>

-> dump_uri=

scp://user:[email protected]/configs/config.xml

Restore the ILOM configuration:-> set passphrase=<security phrase>

-> load_uri=

scp://user:[email protected]/configs/config.xml


NOTE: This task can also be accomplished using the ILOM BUI by navigating to Maintenance -> Backup/Restore and

using any of these transfer methods: Browser, TFTP, FTP,

SFTP, SCP, HTTP and HTTPS.

Once you have completed the ILOM configuration, it is recommended 1to save it and send it to another

server in case you need 2to restore it in the future or duplicate the configuration on another ILOM platform.

3Note, this task can also be accomplished using the ILOM BUI by navigating to the path displayed and

using any of the transfer methods listed. These same transfer methods except for browser is available with the command line interface.

Updating ILOM and BIOS Firmware

Upgrading ILOM and BIOS firmware using the ILOM BUI:• Navigate to Maintenance -> Firmware Upgrade

• Select the Upgrade Mode (Browser, TFTP, FTP, SFTP, SCP,

HTTP or HTTPS)

• Enter the server IP address, an account and password (if remote)

and path to the image

• Upload the new firmware

Upgrading ILOM and BIOS firmware using the ILOM CLI:• Perform a command similar to this one:

-> load_uri=

ftp://root:[email protected]/upgrade/sp47440.pkg


You can perform a firmware upgrade using 1the ILOM BUI or CLI. The easiest method, assuming the

upgrade firmware has been downloaded to your laptop, is to perform a upgrade using 2the browser

mechanism from the ILOM BUI. The other available mechanisms are listed. Since you selected the Browser mode, you do not have to provide the server IP address, an account and password but you do if using any of the other methods. You do have to locate the image or provide its full directory path with any of the modes you use. Finally, select the Upload button to upload and install the firmware image that contains ILOM and BIOS. 3You can also perform this task using the ILOM load command. A command similar to the one displayed

can perform the upload. Notice it is using a FTP mechanism and the server’s IP address, account and password are all part of the example.

Updating the CPLD Firmware

Upgrading the main board:# cpld_update.sh –b

Upgrading the flash riser:# cpld2_update.sh -b


The Complex Programming Logic Device may have up to two sets of firmware. 1One for the main board and the

other for the flash riser. Each one is upgraded independently of the other, though you need to check for any dependencies between the two.

2To upgrade the main board log into sunservice account and perform the cpld_update command you see

displayed. In a similar manner, 3to upgrade the flash riser log into sunservice account and perform the

cpld2_update command you see displayed.4
