ILOM ( Integrated Lights out Manager)
The Sun Fire X64 family of servers implement a technology called ILOM
Integrated Lights Out Manager
ILOM uses a hierarchical namespace.
It contains a predefined tree /SP namespace manages the ILOM.
e.g. to manage users and clock settings.
The SP namespace is generic over all platforms using the ILOM.
The /SYS namespace manages the host system.
e.g. change the host state, read sensor information, and access other information
for managed system hardware.
The SYS namespace is unique to each platform.

Some Useful ILOM Commands
Display SP firmware version:
-> version
Show available CLI commands:
-> show /SP/cli/commands
Connect to host serial console (host COM0):
-> start /SP/console
Power on host:
-> start /SYS
Power off host:
-> stop /SYS
Reset host:
-> reset /SYS
Reset ILOM:
-> reset /SP
Resetting the ILOM and BIOS Passwords:
Requires changing a hardware jumper within the server enclosure
Exit the ILOM CLI:
-> exit
Send break to the host:
Escape + B (press the Escape key and type upper case B)
Start the server console:
-> start /SP/console
Exit the server console (escape key plus an opening bracket ( ):
-> (
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
Display SEL (System Event Log)
-> show /SP/logs/event/list
Clear all System Event logs:
-> set /SP/logs/event clear=true
Locate LED a white LED to help find a server.

operator]
Delete a User:
-> delete /SP/users/username
Displaying Users:
-> show /SP/users
Change the role of user1 to operator
-> set /SP/users/user1 role=operator
Display the role of username user1 (the role will clearly impact which command
functionality is available for a user):
-> show /SP/users/user1
Change user1s password:
-> set /SP/users/user1
password Changing password for user /SP/users/user1/password
Enter new password:********
Enter new password again:********
New password was successfully set for user /SP/users/user1
Display network settings:
-> show /SP/network
Change the IP address of ILOM:

Once you connect to ILOM SP you can use below command to connect to the
console. Please note you can use ESC ( to disconnect from console any time,
then you will return to ILOM.
-> start /SP/console
Are you sure you want to start /SP/console (y/n)? y
Serial console started.
To stop, type ESC ( (Press Enter key to view serial console) in case if you notice
that serial console is already in use just stop it once and restart.
-> stop /SP/console
Are you sure you want to stop /SP/console (y/n)? y
