Service Processor Connection and Login

This procedure describes how to cable the server to access its Root-of-Trust circuitry and service processor (SP).

For dedicated access to the server Root-of-Trust circuitry, connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the TOR/NET port on the card located on the server back panel. Attach the other end of the cable or connector to your end point.

This provides command-line interface (CLI) access over the network.

Note:
This port is for service use only.
For access to the server Oracle ILOM service processor, do one of the following:
- For dedicated network access to Oracle ILOM, connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the 10/100/1000 Ethernet management port (labeled NET MGT) on the card located on the server back panel. Attach the other end of the RJ-45 Ethernet cable to your switch. This provides command-line interface (CLI) access over the network.
- For access to either Oracle ILOM or the RoT circuitry, connect an RJ-45 serial console cable to the RJ-45 serial port (labeled TOR/SER) on the card located on the server back panel. Attach the other end of the RJ-45 serial console cable or connector to your end point. This provides CLI access over a local serial connection or terminal server.
Ensure that AC power is plugged into the server power supplies.

Standby power is required for SP access, Main power and a running host is not required.
Access Oracle ILOM.
If this is the first time you are connecting to Oracle ILOM, do one of the following:
- Access Oracle ILOM using a local serial connection to the command-line interface:
  1. From the terminal device connected to the server's SER MGT port, press Enter to obtain a prompt.
  2. At the Oracle ILOM login prompt, type root as the username, and then press Enter.
  3. At the Oracle ILOM password prompt, enter the default password. Type:
    
    Password: changeme
    
    Oracle ILOM displays the default command prompt (->), indicating that you successfully logged in to the Oracle ILOM CLI.
- Access Oracle ILOM using an Ethernet connection to the command-line interface:
  
  From a terminal device with network access to the server's NET MGT port, initiate a Secure Shell session and log into the Oracle ILOM root account. Type:
  
  # ssh root@hostname
  
  Where hostname is either the IP address or host name (when using DNS) of the server SP.
  
  Note:
  By default, Oracle ILOM is configured for DHCP. The DHCP server should list the IP address for your Oracle ILOM host name or SP MAC address.
At the Oracle ILOM password prompt, enter the default password.

Type:

Password: changeme

Oracle ILOM displays the default command prompt (->), indicating that you successfully logged in to the Oracle ILOM CLI.
Once logged in, change default the root password for security.

Note:
To enable first-time login and access to Oracle ILOM, a default Administrator account (root) and its password are provided with the system. To build a secure environment and enforce user authentication and authorization in Oracle ILOM, you must change the default password (changeme) for the default Administrator account (root) after your initial login to Oracle ILOM. If this default Administrator account has since been changed, contact your system administrator for an Oracle ILOM user account with Administrator privileges.

For more information on changing account information, refer to Oracle ILOM Documentation.
