TABLE 4-1summarizes an ordered list of tasks that you must perform to initially configure an IP address for the server module SP.

2Establish a console connection to ILOM.

3Obtain an Administrator user account.

You can establish a connection with the ILOM server module SP through a local or remote console.

•Local serial console. Using a dongle cable you can connect a serial console to the UCP port on the front panel of the server module. For instructions for attaching local devices to the server module, see “Attach Devices to Server Using the 3- Cable Dongle” on page 42.

Alternatively, you can connect a serial console to the serial port on the rear panel of the CMM. For more information about attaching cables or devices to a CMM, see the system chassis documentation.

•Remote console. Attach a local area Ethernet network cable to the network management port (RJ-45 NET MGT 0) on the CMM. The chassis Ethernet ports provide the most robust method of connecting to ILOM. This connection supports both the command-line interface and the web interface. For more information about how to attach the CMM management network cable, see system chassis documentation.

To configure an IP address in ILOM, you must log in to ILOM with an Administrator account.

A preconfigured Administrator account is shipped on each server module SP. The preconfigured Administrator account name is root and its password is changme. Since this preconfigured account cannot be deleted, it is highly recommended that you change the password after initial setup. This account offers built-in administrative privileges (read and write access) to all service processor features and commands.

For more information about ILOMs user accounts, see the Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager 2.0 User’s Guide or the Integrated Lights Out Manager 3.0 Documentation Collection.
