How to open an ssh session to the ILOM via the ILOM interconnect

Solution

On systems with Solaris 11.2 SRU8 or newer, Hardware Management Pack (HMP) is installed with the OS. The ILOM interconnect is automatically enabled if ILOM 3.0.12 or newer is loaded.

First check that the interconnect is normally configured. Note that Solaris root user commands are prompted by '#' & ILOM CLI commands by '->'.

# svcs -av | grep ilomconfig-interconnect
online - Jun_20 - svc:/network/ilomconfig-interconnect:default
# svcs -av | grep sp/management
online - Jun_20 155 svc:/system/sp/management:default
-> show /SP/network
...
state = enabled
-> show /SP/network/interconnect
...
hostmanaged = true
state = enabled
type = USB Ethernet
ipaddress = 169.254.182.76
...
allowed_services = fault-transport, ipmi, snmp

An ssh session to the ILOM can be configured using the interconnect, as follows:

-> set /SP/network/interconnect/ hostmanaged=false
-> set /SP/network/interconnect/ allowed_services="fault-transport,ipmi,snmp,ssh"
-> set /SP/network/interconnect/ hostmanaged=true
# ilomconfig enable interconnect

One can start an ssh session with the ILOM, as follows:

root@t5-4-bur09-a:~# ssh root@169.254.182.76
The authenticity of host '169.254.182.76 (169.254.182.76)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 90:4c:47:9a:52:69:a9:d2:53:7f:da:16:3d:d2:7f:3b.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes

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

Warning: HTTPS certificate is set to factory default.

Hostname: t5-4-bur09-a-sp

Once finished with the session, ssh should be disabled, as follows:

-> set /SP/network/interconnect/ hostmanaged=false
-> set /SP/network/interconnect/ allowed_services="fault-transport,ipmi,snmp"
-> set /SP/network/interconnect/ state=disabled hostmanaged=true
# ilomconfig enable interconnect
