14.2 Access the CLI of a Sun Datacenter InfiniBand Switch 36
The Sun Datacenter InfiniBand Switch 36 is connected and used in the Exalogic
machine in multirack configuration scenarios only. Therefore, you can access the CLI
of this switch after connecting the switch in a multirack configuration scenario.
After connecting this switch and applying power, you can access its command-line
interface (CLI).
To access the command-line interface (CLI):
1.
If you are using a network management port, begin network communication with
the command-line interface (CLI) using the ssh command and the host name
configured with the DHCP server.:
% ssh -l root switch-name
root@switch-name's password: password
#
where
switch-name
is the host name assigned to the Sun Datacenter InfiniBand
Switch 36.
If you do not see this output or prompt, there is a problem with the network
communication or cabling of the switch.
2.
If you are using a USB management port, begin serial communication with the
command-line interface (CLI) as follows:
a.
Connect a serial terminal, terminal server, or workstation with a TIP
connection to the USB-to-serial adapter. Configure the terminal or terminal
emulator with these settings:
115200 baud, 8 bits, No parity, 1 Stop bit, and No handshaking
b.
Press the Return or Enter key on the serial device several times to synchronize
the connection. You might see text similar to the following:
…
CentOS release 5.2 (Final)
Kernel 2.6.27.13-nm2 on an i686
switch-name login: root
Password: password
#
where
switch-name
is the host name assigned to the Sun Datacenter
InfiniBand Switch 36.
If you do not see this output or prompt, there is a problem with the network
communication or the cabling of the switch.
14.3 Verify the Switch Status
For the Sun Datacenter InfiniBand Switch 36, you can check the status of the
command-line interface (CLI), power supplies, fans, and switch chip. Verify that the
