Chapter 3
Establish Communication With ILOM Server Module SP
31
SP IP Assignment
Mandatory
Decide whether to assign DHCP or static IP address(es) to the server SP(s).
All remote system management communication with ILOM is through the
server SP or CMM management network.
For information about how to assign an IP address, see the following topics:
•
“Assign a Static IP Address to Server SP Using a Serial Connection” on
page 34
•
“Assign DHCP IP Addresses Using an Ethernet Management
Connection” on page 33
ILOM Interface
Mandatory
When establishing (or modifying) an IP address on a server SP, you will use
one of the following ILOM interfaces:
•
Command-line interface (CLI) - use to establish the initial IP address
. If
an IP address has not been assigned to the server SP or CMM, you can
connect to ILOM to assign the IP address via a local serial console.
•
Web interface - use to edit an existing IP address
. If an IP address has
been assigned to the server SP or CMM and a LAN connection is
established to the MGT port, you can connect to ILOM to edit the
existing IP address(es) assigned via the web interface.
For more information about ILOM interfaces, consult the
Sun Blade 8000
Series Online Information System
.
ILOM Preconfigured
Admin Account
Mandatory
(first time
use)
Any user with a valid user account can access ILOM. The first time you
access ILOM, you will need to use the preconfigured ILOM Administrator
account.
The preconfigured Administrator account, known as
root
, cannot be
deleted or changed, other than resetting its password (
changeme
). This
account offers built-in administrative privileges (read and write access) to
all ILOM functions, features, and commands.
The first time you access ILOM, at the CMM level or server module level,
you will need to log in as
root
with the default password
changeme
. After
you have logged in to ILOM and established network connectivity to the
system, you should consider resetting the password (
changeme
) associated
with the ILOM
root
account. To prevent your system from unauthorized
access, reset this password on each server module (and CMM) installed in
the system chassis. For more information about resetting the ILOM
root
account password, see
“Reset ILOM Root Account Password (changeme)”
on page 40
