About the Preconfigured Administrator Account

The ELOM is shipped with one preconfigured administrator account:

User name: root

Password: changeme

The preconfigured administrator account, root, is the default account. It cannot be deleted or modified. You can only change the password for the root account. This default account contains administrator privileges (read and write access) to all service processor features and commands. For security reasons you should change the root password and create an alternate user account that also has administrator privileges. To change a user password or to create a new user, see Chapter 4.

If you’ve changed the root password, but have not created an alternate account, and the new root password is lost or forgotten, you will have to reset the SP to return the ELOM to its default settings. For information about how to do this, see“Resetting the Service Processor” on page 44.

About the Indicator and Fault LEDs

The LEDs on the front and rear panel of your server allow you to manage the server at a rudimentary level. The LEDs are helpful for indicating when a problem has occurred, and you can use these LEDs in combination with the internal fault indicator LEDs and buttons to troubleshoot and repair component failure issues. However, using the ELOM it is possible not only to troubleshoot component failure issues, but also to configure, manage, and maintain the server remotely and to implement an effective preventative maintenance program. Using the ELOM as part of a regular maintenance regimen allows you to take a proactive approach to server repair. This can improve system performance and minimize downtime.

For information about the Indicator and Fault LEDs, see the Sun Fire X4150 Server Service Manual.

For information about managing, maintaining, and configuring your server, see Chapter 4 of this guide.
