Sun Microsystems V40z, V20Z manual Ipmi Compliance and LAN Channel Access, Usernames and Passwords

IPMI Compliance and LAN Channel Access

The server supports IPMI through the SP software version 2.0 and later. These servers meet compliance standards for IPMI version 1.5.

The IPMI implementation on these servers also support LAN channel access. (Refer to the IPMI specification version 1.5 for details.) The LAN channel access is disabled by default. To enable it, use the ipmi enable channel command and specify the ID of the channel to enable for the LAN Interface, as follows.

Note – This ID is case-sensitive and must be lowercase.

#ssh spipaddr -l spuser ipmi enable channel {sms lan}

For more information about enabling or disabling the IPMI channel, refer to Appendix B.

Usernames and Passwords

Operator and administrator-level access over the LAN channel requires a valid user ID and password. These servers come preconfigured with an administrator- level user with a null user ID. However, you can re-add the anonymous user at a later time if you wish. You can configure both the user ID and password to be null.

Note – For security reasons, the LAN channel access is disabled by default.

Note – IPMI user identities are in no way associated with user accounts defined for server-management capabilities. Refer to “Initial Setup of the Service Processor” on page 9 for more information about these server-management user accounts.
