Commonly Used SC & LOM Commands

See the Command Reference Guide for full details

logout	logout from this connection	showenvironment	show environmental information	disablecomponent	add a component to the blacklist
console	connect to the Solaris console	showdate	show the current date and time	setupsc	configure the SC (lom)
reset	reset the Solaris system	showerrorbuffer	show the contents of the error buffer	enablecomponent	remove a component from the blacklist
shutdown	shutdown Solaris and take to standby mode	help	show help for a command or a list of commands	testinterconnect	run interconnect test
showsc	show SC (or LOM) version and uptime	history	show command history	setchs	set FRU Component Health Status (Only available in service mode <5.20.15) </td>
poweroff	power off system or component	showcomponent	show state of a component	setdate	set the date and time for the system
poweron	power on system / components and start OBP	poweron all	poweron all system / components only	password	set the SC (or LOM) access password
Break	send break to the Solaris console	shownetwork	show SC (or LOM) network settings and MAC addresses	setupnetwork	setup SC (or LOM) network settings
showlogs	show the logs	flashupdate	update firmware (scapp)	showchs	show FRU Component Health Status
resetsc	reset the SC (or LOM)	showfault	show fault information	testboard	test a CPU/Memory board
inventory	show seeprom contents of a FRU	showboards	show board information	lom -G	update firmware (using lom)

Connecting to the SC from an admin workstation:

  Use a serial port connection:
       # tip hardwire

  Use the telnet command (assumes SC net has been configured with setupnetwork):
       # telnet SC-hostname or IP address

  Use SSH:
       admin-ws% ssh v1280-sc1
       Enter Password: As setup by the lom> password command
       Connected. HIT RETURN

  Note – At 5.18.0, you will be offered the option of connecting with a 
         secure shell (ssh) only if you have an SC V2 in the IB/SSC.
         In this case only SSH will work not telnet

POST levels (Change using diag-level?)

  init - (Default level) Only initialization code is
         run, no testing.
  quick - Few tests and few patters.
  min - Quick sanity check.
  max - All components tested with all tests/patterns,
        except for memory and Ecache modules.
  mem1 - More exhaustive DRAM and SRAM tests.
  mem2 - mem1 with the addition of a DRAM.

How to Identify the Physical DIMM Size:

  - Physical DIMM Size is equal to the "Size" entry
    in prtdiag divided by 2.
  - lom>inventory identifies the DIMM size and part 
    number.
  - prtfru_-x.out data in Explorer identifies the 
    DIMM size.
  - lom>showboards -p memory identifies the DIMM size.

How to Identify the CPU Speed:

  - lom>showboards -v -p cpu shows the CPU speed.
  - prtdiag identifies the CPU speed..
  - prtfru_-x.out data in Explorer identifies CPU 
    speed and the board type.
  - showlogs AD Event messaging does NOT identify 
    the correct FRU pn for a SB.
