Goal

How to reset the LOM password on a Sun Fire[TM] V1280, E2900, Netra 1280, and Netra 1290. This requires Oracle Support to generate a service mode password.

 

This process only applies to the products listed in the Products Section of this document.

Solution


If you need to reset a forgotten or lost password for the LOM you need to do the following.
When connecting directly to the SSC's serial port the system will ask for a password. Hit return 3 times till the HostID, ScApp and the RTOS are displayed.

It will look similar to this:

  
Connected to Hostname-sc.
Escape character is '^]'.
Enter Password:
Invalid password.
Enter Password:
Invalid password.
Enter Password:
Invalid password.
HostID: 8318256e
ScApp version: 5.18.0
RTOS version: 41
 


The HostID, ScApp and the RTOS are needed to generate an Oracle service mode password.   Open a MOS SR and provide the above output to the Oracle Support engineer.

TSC Engineer to generate Service mode password:

Go to the service mode password site  https://modepass.us.oracle.com
(a backup server is also available from https://modepass-bak.us.oracle.com)
This will allow you to gernerate a service mode password.


When the Oracle Support engineer provides the Service mode, enter the Service mode Password when the LOM asks for a password.

  
Connected to Hostname-sc.
Escape character is '^]'.
Enter Password:
This will get you to either the lom prompt or the console login prompt.
If you are at the console login enter #. to get to the lom.
lom>
 


At this point you will need to enter the new password for the LOM. Use the password command to change it.
When asked for the current password use the service mode password. Then enter the new password you want twice.

  
lom>
lom>password
Enter current password:
Enter new password:
Enter new password again:
 


You should then logout of the system and then log back in to test your new password.
