Setup Alom

The document provides instructions for setting up the ALOM card on Sun servers to enable network console access. It describes the two communication ports on the ALOM hardware for management - a serial port and Ethernet port. It then lists commands to display current ALOM settings, set the IP address and subnet mask, reset the RSC card, and access the console via the network management port or redirect it from the serial port. It also notes how to reset the admin password if needed and that the network connection must be 10-Mbit for ALOM network access.

The ALOM hardware contains two types of communication ports:

- Serial management port (SERIAL MGT)


- Network management (Ethernet) port (NET MGT)

Both ports give you access to the ALOM command shell. By default, ALOM communicates
through the SERIAL MGT port at startup.

Display Current Settings


/usr/platform/`uname -i`/scadm show

Set IP Address
/usr/platform/`uname -i`/scadm set netsc_ipaddr 192.168.1.29

Set IP Subnet
/usr/platform/`uname -i`/scadm set netsc_ipnetmask 255.255.255.0

Reset RSC Card (for changes to take effect)


/usr/platform/`uname -i`/scadm resetrscPlug Network Mgmt Port to a
10 Mb Switch and Telnet to Mgmt IP Address.

Login as admin user

(it should prompt you for a password change since none is set for this default user.

To Access Console
sc> console # this will give you view mode only
sc> console -f # redirect console to Mgmt port, serial port would be temporarily routed)

Note: If having issues with admin user password, you can reset the password using the
following command:

/usr/platform/`uname -i`/scadm userpassword admin

Quit SC prompt

#. (Tilde + Fullstop key)

Note: When you connect a terminal device to the NET MGT port, the server must be
connected to a 10-Mbit network. ALOM does not support 100-Mbit or 1-Gbit networks
