Goal

Your server is configured to operate under an ILOM shell, by default. You can create an ALOM compatibility shell if you prefer to use commands that resemble ALOM CMT commands to administer your server.

Solution

Note - If you have performed an upgrade of the firmware from an earlier version and selected the option to preserve the settings of your earlier version of ILOM, you can continue to use your prior settings (including the username admin and password) without recreating the admin username, described in this section. If you use the original password for the username root supplied with ILOM firmware, ILOM warns you that the password is still set to the factory default.

Log onto the service processor with a username that has been assigned the user management (u) role.
When powered on, the SP boots to the ILOM login prompt.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX login: username

Warning: password is set to factory default.
 
->
Create a user named admin, and set the admin account roles to aucro and the CLI mode to alom.
-> create /SP/users/admin 
Creating user...
Enter new password: ********
Enter new password again: ********
Created /SP/users/admin
 
-> set /SP/users/admin role=aucro
Set 'role' to 'aucro'
 
->set /SP/users/admin cli_mode=alom
Set 'cli_mode' to 'alom'

Note - The asterisks in the example will not appear when you enter your password.

You can combine the create and set commands on a single line:

-> create /SP/users/admin role=aucro cli_mode=alom
Creating user...
Enter new password: ********
Enter new password again: ********
Created /SP/users/admin
Log out of the root account after you have finished creating the admin account.
-> exit
Log in to the ALOM CLI shell (indicated by the sc> prompt) from the ILOM login prompt.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX login: admin
Password:

Daemons ready

In the ALOM CMT compatibility shell (with a few exceptions) you can use commands that resemble the commands of ALOM CMT. Remember that the ALOM CMT compatibility shell is an ILOM interface.
