## Access the SP (Oracle ILOM)

There are two approaches to interacting with the SP:

- Oracle ILOM CLI shell (default) – The Oracle ILOM shell provides access to Oracle ILOM's features and functions through a CLI.

- Oracle ILOM browser interface – The Oracle ILOM web interface supports the same set of features and functions as the shell.

Note - Unless indicated otherwise, all examples of interaction with the SP are depicted with Oracle ILOM shell commands.

Note - The CLI includes a feature that enables you to access Oracle Solaris Fault Manager commands, such as `fmadm`, `fmdump`, and `fmstat`, from within the Oracle ILOM shell. This feature is referred to as the Oracle ILOM `faultmgmt` shell. For more information about the Oracle Solaris Fault Manager commands, see the SPARC T4-1 administration documentation and the Oracle Solaris documentation.

You can log into multiple SP accounts simultaneously and have separate Oracle ILOM shell commands executing concurrently under each account.

1. Establish connectivity to the SP using one of the following methods:
   - SER MGT – Connect a terminal device (such as an ASCII terminal or laptop with terminal emulation) to the serial management port.

     Set up your terminal device for 9600 baud, 8 bit, no parity, 1 stop bit and no handshaking. Use a null-modem configuration (transmit and receive signals crossed over to enable DTE-to-DTE communication). The crossover adapters supplied with the server provide a null-modem configuration.

   - NET MGT – Connect this port to an Ethernet network. This port requires an IP address. By default, the port is configured for DHCP, or you can assign an IP address.
2. Decide which interface to use, the Oracle ILOM CLI or the Oracle ILOM web interface.
   - Oracle ILOM CLI – Is the default Oracle ILOM user interface and most of the commands and examples in this service manual use this interface. The default login account is `root` with a password of `changeme`.
   - Oracle ILOM web interface – Can be used when you access the SP through the NET MGT port and have a browser. Refer to the Oracle ILOM 3.0 documentation for details. This interface is not referenced in this service manual.
3. Open an SSH session and connect to the SP by specifying its IP address.

   The Oracle ILOM default username is `root,` and the default password is `changeme`.

       % ssh root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
       ...
       Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no) ? yes

       ...
       Password: password (nothing displayed)

       ->

   Note - To provide optimum server security, change the default server password.

   The Oracle ILOM `->` prompt indicates that you are accessing the SP with the Oracle ILOM CLI.

4. Perform Oracle ILOM commands that provide the diagnostic information you need.

   The following Oracle ILOM commands are commonly used for fault management:

   - `show` command – Displays information about individual FRUs. See Display FRU Information (`show` Command).
   - `show` `faulty` command – Displays environmental, POST-detected, and PSH-detected faults.

     Note - You can use `fmadm` `faulty` in the faultmgmt shell as an alternative to `show` `faulty`. See Check for Faults (`fmadm` `faulty` Command)

   - `clear_fault_action` property of the `set` command – Manually clears PSH-detected faults. See Clear Faults (`clear_fault_action` Property).
