Solution 1004868.1 : SunFire[TM] V1280, E2900 and Netra[TM] 1280, 1290: Lights Out Management (LOM) packages are missing

Applies to:

Sun Fire E2900 Server - Version All Versions and later

Symptoms

I can't find the LOM packages.

I have just installed Solaris[TM] 8, 9, or 10 Entire distribution and I cannot find LOM packages. None of the lom commands work or exist.

Cause

Prior to Solaris 10 the LOM packages were located on the Solaris Software Supplement CD.

If that CD is not available, or Solaris 10 or higher is installed, the LOM packages may be downloaded

The packages on the CD, and the download are the same though the download page only mentioned Solaris 10 (but works on earlier version also).

To download, follow these instructions:

Downloading the LOM packages.

The Lights Out Management (LOM) may be downloadable from My Oracle Support (MOS).

The three LOM packages needed on a Sun Fire[TM] entry-level midrange system are:

SUNWlomu (LOMlite Utilities (usr))
SUNWlomm (LOMlite manual pages)
SUNWlomr (LOM drivers).

You may download these packages from MOS via <Patch:10368826> which is called the "Netra t Lights Out Management 2.0" release.

Note: The latest patch for these packages is available via 110208-22. It is strongly advised that you obtain the latest versions of patches and install them on your Sun Fire[TM] E2900, V1280, netra 1280, and netra 1290 to make use of the latest LOM utility updates.

Solution

There are two steps to LOM installation first install the LOM drivers and then the LOM utility:

Installation of ,SUNWlomr. was successful

NOTE: The WARNING messages concerning lomp, lomv and lom driver attachment seen during the installation of the SUWNlomr package can be safely ignored since the SUNWlomr package is not used on the Sun Fire entry-level midrange systems system. However, the presence of the package is required to allow successful upgrade via future patches.

STEP 2: Install the LOM Utility
