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

Customers 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."

On the CLI interface:

*** WARNING *** *** WARNING *** *** WARNING ***
The system appears to be in manufacturing test mode.
Contact Service immediately.

Fix

The service processor inadvertently has the manufacturing test mode still enabled.

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

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

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 in Escalation mode:

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

See document 1019946.1 to create an escalation mode account & to get into escalation mode.

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.

Log in to the Oracle ILOM SP or CMM web interface.
Click Maintenance --> Configuration Management.
The Configuration Management page appears.
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.

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