Sun SPARC Enterprise T5120 - ILOM Introduction
Abstract
UNIX
Systems Manufacturers originated their markets as workstations, during a
time when they used 32 bit systems and the rest of the PC market was
concentrating on 8 and 16 bit systems, and some CPU vendors like Intel
use segmentation to keep their 16 bit software alive while struggling to
move to 32 bit architectures. Some of the original servers were stacked
workstations on a rack in a cabinet. The former high-powered video
cards were merely ignored, as remote management needed command line
interfaces. Engineering quickly determined that console access needed to
be built into a new class of systems: rack mounted servers. These early servers offered traditional ALOM compatibility shell as well as newer ILOM shell. The ALOM compatibility shell is quite functional.
Sun Enterprise T5120 LOM
The
Sun Enterprise T5120 is a server with a second generation OpenSPARC
processor. It comes with a Lights Out Management (LOM) capability
referred to as Integrated Lights Out Management (ILOM.) The Advanced
Lights Out Management (ALOM) shell may be it's default. Most remote
systems management work can be done from the LOM. Oracle has an ILOM 3.0 manual. There are also manuals formerly published by Sun Microsystems for OpenBoot 3.x and OpenBoot 4.x manuals.
ILOM: Logging In
A 9600 Baud Serial Cable can be added to the Console port, to provide immediate access.

ILOM: Help Screen
The Console port, provides help screen, less reasonable from the ALOM:
-> help
The help command is used to view information about commands and targets
Usage: help [-o|-output terse|verbose] [<command>|legal|targets|<target>|<target> <property>]
Special characters used in the help command are
[] encloses optional keywords or options
<> encloses a description of the keyword
(If <> is not present, an actual keyword is indicated)
| indicates a choice of keywords or options
help <target> displays description if this target and its properties
help <target> <property> displays description of this property of this target
help targets displays a list of targets
help legal displays the product legal notice
Commands are:
cd
create
delete
dump
exit
help
load
reset
set
show
start
stop

Note: ALOM functions & objects are flat; ILOM functions are consistent with hierarchical objects
ILOM: Setting the Date
The LOM Serial Port provides access to set the date, as it is likely not correct.:

OpenSPARC
Systems are very viable platforms, offering tremendous Lights Out
Management capabilities. The most recent SPARC Systems have been the
fastest platforms in the world for nearly 4 years, so there is a
tremendous growth potential for migrating from these older Open Source
SPARC platforms. Being based upon Open Hardware, Open Firmware, and Open
Hardware - new hardware vendors can also create their own newer
generation platforms, to meet their own requirements if the Light Out
Management capabilities are not a requirement.
