Another serial port—labeled 10101— is available for general purpose serial data
transfer. This port uses a DB-9 connector.
In addition, the server has one 10BASE-T Ethernet management domain interface,
labelled NET MGT. To use this port, ALOM configuration is required.
Note – If you use the OpenBoot PROM command
setenv ttya-mode
to change
the speed of the ALOM serial port (SERIAL MGT) to a value other than the default
of 9600 baud, reset the host server. This sets the port speed to the specified value.

3.3 Setting the
admin
Password
When you switch to the ALOM prompt after initial power on, you are logged in as
the admin user and prompted to set a password. You must set this password in
order to execute certain commands.
●
If you are prompted to do so, set a password for the admin user.
The password must:
■
contain at least two alphabetic characters
■
contain at least one numeric or one special character
■
be at least six characters long
Once the password is set, the admin user has full permissions and can execute all
ALOM CLI commands.
Tip – If you login to ALOM with a 16-character user name and execute the
showusers
command, ALOM enters a loop and refuses all other connection
attempts. If you encounter this problem, establish a telenet connection to the host
server and use the
scadm resetrsc
command to reset ALOM.
