If the Oracle ILOM SP hangs and you cannot reset it using the Oracle ILOM web interface or
the Oracle ILOM CLI command, there is a pinhole reset switch on the server that can be used.
For information on the location and use of this switch, refer to the

Recover Root Account Password
If necessary, system administrators can recover the preconfigured Oracle ILOM local root
account or the password for the local root account by using the preconfigured Oracle ILOM
default password.
To recover the root account password you need a local serial management port (SER MGT)
connection to Oracle ILOM. In addition, if the Physical Presence State is enabled (the default)
in Oracle ILOM, you must prove that you are physically present at the server.
To recover the
root
account or
root
account password, perform these steps:
1. Establish a local serial management connection to Oracle ILOM and log in to
Oracle ILOM using the default user account. For example:
SUNSP-000000000 login: default
Press and release the physical presence button
Press return when this is completed...
For additional information logging in through the serial management port, see “Log In to Oracle
ILOM Using a Local Serial Connection” on page 55 .
2. Prove physical presence at the server.
To prove physical presence at the server, press the Locate button on the front of the server.
For the location of the Locate button, see
“Front Panel Features” on page 15 .
3. Return to your serial console and press Enter.
You will be prompted for a password.
