Setting Up ILOM for Sun Servers

Verify that your terminal, laptop, or terminal server is operational.

Configure that terminal device or the terminal emulation software to use the following settings:

* 8N1: eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit

* 9600 baud

* Disable hardware flow control (CTS/RTS)

Connect a serial cable from the serial port on the server's back panel to a terminal device.

Refer to your -specific documentation or the supplement for the location of the serial port.

When the system has booted, the ILOM displays its login prompt:

SUNSPnnnnnnnnnn login:

The first string in the prompt is the default host name. It consists of the prefix SUNSP and the ILOM's MAC address. The MAC address for each ILOM is unique.

Log in to the CLI:

Type the default user name, root.

Type the default password, changeme.

Once you have successfully logged in, the ILOM displays the ILOM default command prompt:

->

The ILOM is now accessing the CLI. You can now run CLI commands.

#Type the following command to set the working directory.

cd /SP/network

#Type the following commands to specify a static Ethernet configuration.

set pendingipaddress=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
set pendingipnetmask=yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
set pendingipgateway=zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz
set pendingipdiscovery=static
set commitpending=true

where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy and zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz are the IP address, netmask, and gateway for your ILOM and network configuration. To obtain the ILOM IP address, see Section 2.2.3.1, Obtain the ILOM IP Address.

#Log out of the ILOM.

Access denied for user 'bacula'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

While installing a test backup server (Bacula), I got the error "Access denied for user 'bacula'@'localhost' (using password: YES)" while connecting to the MySQL database. Root access was fine. Grant permission as well as the user password was correct and thus it took me quite some time to understand that though the user password was correct, it wasn't encrypted like the root when checked from Webmin.  Thus from mysql command, instead of - mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password = 'baculauserpassword' WHERE user = 'bacula'; mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES; I change it too  mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password = PASSWORD('baculauserpassword') WHERE user = 'bacula'; mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES; After getting the password encrypted, I can finally connect to the MySQL server and run the Bacula.

We just had an upgrade of the printer infrastructure. New printers are installed, Canon Uniflow software are being upgraded as well as the existing drivers are being upgraded. Things went fine except for few users having issues like: Cannot set default printer Cannot print directly from Outlook client Thanks to the link  http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/can-not-set-any-printer-as-default-printer  the issues were resolved following the steps there. The fix, which worked for me yesterday, is simple: Go to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\ -If the Windows key doesn't exist, create a new key; Then check for the following entry (or create it if it is not there) Name: Device Type: Reg_SZ (String Value) Value: winspool,Ne00 Should you be unable to save it, just make sure the user has Full (or special) access to the Windows key (by right-clicking on the key) After that I ran the "gpupdate /force" as the drivers were pushed using gr...
