Goal

To discuss this information further with Oracle experts and industry peers, we encourage you to review, join or start a discussion in the My Oracle Support Community - Sun x86 Systems


You may see either one or both of these warnings on the service processor.

On the GUI interface:

"Warning: The system appears to be in manufacturing test mode. Contact Service immediately."

GUI Warning

or

On the CLI interface:

Warning: The system appears to be in manufacturing test mode.
Contact Service immediately.

 

Solution

The service processor inadvertently has the manufacturing test mode still enabled.  This can also happen when a field engineer needs to make FRU related changes on the SP but did not disable the test/service mode.

To correct the issue and stop the warning message, perform a "factory reset" from either from GUI or CLI. 

WARNING! Performing a factory rest will cause any custom configuration (such as the IP configuration to be changed back to factory default.)

WARNING!  Do not perform the factory reset if the node is part of an Engineered System.

Oracle Support might be able to correct the issue remotely if remote access to the SP can be provided. 

This is an indication that the ILOM has the Sun Service mode enabled.  When enabled, this will allow the user to run restricted service commands. 

This mode can be disabled by two methods:

Method #1

By Oracle personnel by running the following command:

bash-2.05b# /usr/local/bin/sunserviceacct disable

Note:  An escalation mode password should not required if the sunservice login account is enabled.  Simply login as sunservice and run the command listed.  If you cannot access via sunservice as expected, see the feedback from don.yee, below. 
After that command is issued then sunservice login account will be disabled (and, if needed, to get to the root password after that an escalation mode password is required.)

See documents:

   1626261.1 Enable/disable sunservice account in ILOM v3.x.
   1019946.1 to create an escalation mode account & to get into escalation mode.

Feedback from don.yee@oracle.com

Tried using this for a 7420 (which uses X4470 or M2) and it says you can log in as sunservice. System was shipped with the service mode on, attempted to log in as sunservice with no password, per document 1626261.1 and it would not let me in. I also tried the root password with the sunservice username. In the end, I had to create a new user and put it in escalation mode to disable with /usr/local/bin/sunserviceacct disable and then delete the account when I was done.

Method #2

Perform a "factory reset" either from GUI or CLI.  WARNING! This will cause any custom configuration (such as the IP configuration to be changed)


Reset the Oracle ILOM Configuration to Defaults (GUI method)

  • To reset the Oracle ILOM configuration to defaults, you need the Admin (a) role enabled.

  1. Log in to the Oracle ILOM SP or CMM web interface.
  2. Click Maintenance --> Configuration Management.

    The Configuration Management page appears.


    image:Configuration Management page.
  3. In the Reset Defaults drop-down list, click Reset Defaults, and then select one of the following options:
    • Factory - If you want to reset all of the Oracle ILOM configuration data to the default settings and also erase the log files, select Factory and click Reset Defaults. The next time the Oracle ILOM SP reboots, the configuration will be restored to the default settings and the log files will be erased.

    • None - If you want to cancel the reset to defaults operation just previously issues, select None and click Reset Defaults. The previously issued reset to defaults operation is canceled provided the None option is executed before the Oracle ILOM SP reboots.


Reset the Oracle ILOM Configuration to Defaults (CLI method)

  • To reset the Oracle ILOM configuration to the default settings, you need the Admin (a) role enabled.

  1. Log in to the Oracle ILOM CLI SP or CMM.
  2. Change to the /SP directory, type:
    -> cd /SP

     

  3. Type one of the following commands, depending on the option you select to reset the default settings.
    • If you want to reset the Oracle ILOM configuration using the factory option, type:
      -> set reset_to_defaults=factory

       

      On the next reboot of the Oracle ILOM SP, the Oracle ILOM configuration default settings will be restored and the log files will be erased.

    • If you want to cancel a reset operation just previously specified, type:
      -> set reset_to_defaults=none

       

      The previously issued reset_to_defaults command is canceled provided the reset_to_defaults=none command is issued before the Oracle ILOM SP reboots.
