ALOM / ILOM Shell Configuration Commands

ALOM ILOM Shell Configuration Commands

ALOM CMT Command Summary Comparable ILOM Command password Changes the login password of the current user. set /SP/users/username password restartssh Restarts the SSH server so that new host keys generated by the ssh-keygen command are reloaded. set /SP/services/ssh restart_sshd_action=true setdate [[mmdd]HHMM |mmddHHMM[cc]yy][.SS] Sets ALOM CMT date and time. set /SP/clock datetime=value setdefaults setdefaults –a Resets all ALOM CMT configuration parameters to their default values. The –a option resets the user information to the factory default (one admin account only). set /SP reset_to_defaults=configuration set /SP reset_to_defaults=all setkeyswitch [normal|stby|diag| locked] Sets the status of the virtual keyswitch. Setting the virtual keyswitch to standby (stby) powers off the server. Before powering off the host server, ALOM CMT asks for a confirmation. set /SYS keyswitch_state=value setsc [param] [value] Sets the specified ALOM CMT parameter to the assigned value. set target property=value setupsc Runs the interactive configuration script. This script configures the ALOM CMT configuration variables. No equivalent in ILOM showplatform [–v] Displays information about the host system’s hardware configuration, and whether the hardware is providing service. The –v option displays verbose information about the displayed components. show /HOST showfru Displays information about the field-replaceable units (FRUs) in a host server. No equivalent in ILOM showusers showusers –g lines Displays a list of users currently logged in to ALOM CMT. The display for this command has a similar format to that of the UNIX command who. The –g option pauses the display after the number of lines you specify for lines. show /SP/sessions No equivalent in ILOM showhost showhost version Displays version information for host-side components. The version option displays the same information as the showhost command with no option. show /HOST showkeyswitch Displays status of virtual keyswitch. show /SYS keyswitch_state showsc [param] Displays the current non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) configuration parameters. show target property showdate Displays the ALOM CMT date. ALOM CMT time is expressed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) rather than local time. The Solaris OS and ALOM CMT time are not synchronized. show /SP/clock datetime ssh-keygen –l ssh-keygen –r ssh-keygen –t {rsa|dsa} Generates Secure Shell (SSH) host keys and displays the host key fingerprint on the SC. show /SP/services/ssh/keys rsa|dsa set /SP/services/ssh generate_new_key_action=true set /SP/services/ssh generate_new_key_type=[rsa|dsa] usershow [username] Displays a list of all user accounts, permission levels, and whether passwords are assigned. show /SP/users useradd username Adds a user account to ALOM CMT. create /SP/users/username userdel username userdel –y username Deletes a user account from ALOM CMT.

The –v option shows additional information about your network, including information about your DHCP server. show /SP/network console console –f Connects to the host system console. The –f option forces the console write lock from one user to another. start /SP/console No equivalent in ILOM break –c break –D Drops the host server from running the Solaris OS software into OpenBoot PROM or kmdb depending upon the mode in which the Solaris software was booted. set /HOST send_break_action=break set /HOST send_break_action=dumpcore bootmode [normal] [reset_nvram] [config=configname][bootscript =string] Controls the host server OpenBoot PROM firmware method of booting. set /HOST/bootmode property=value [where property is state, config, or script] flashupdate –s IPaddr –f pathname [–v] Downloads and updates system firmware (both host firmware and ALOM CMT firmware).

If that fails, this option forcefully reset the system. Forcfully resets the system. Attempts to gracefully reset the control domain. If that fails, this option forcefully reset the control domain. Forcefully resets the control domain. When resetting the control domain, this option may automatically boot (this is the default behavior when the auto-boot option is not specified). When resetting the control domain, this option does not automatically boot and stays at the OpenBoot ok prompt. This option overrides all reboot variables and stops the control domain at the OpenBoot ok prompt after host reset. The auto-boot? option remains unchanged, thus subsequest reset commands automatically reboot host if the auto-boot? option is set to true. reset /SYS reset -script /SYS reset -f /SYS reset /HOST/domain/control reset - f /HOST/domain/control set /HOST/domain/control auto-boot=disable reset /HOST/domain/control set /HOST/domain/control auto-boot=disable reset -f /HOST/domain/control powercycle [–y] [–f] powercycle –y powercycle -f poweroff followed by poweron. The –f option forces an immediate poweroff, otherwise the command attempts a graceful shutdown. stop /SYS start /SYS stop –script /SYS start –script /SYS stop –force /SYS start –force /SYS poweroff poweroff –y poweroff –f Removes the main power from the host server. The –y option enables you to skip the confirmation question. ALOM CMT attempts to shut the server down gracefully. The –f option forces an immediate shutdown. stop /SYS stop –script /SYS stop –force /SYS poweron Applies the main power to the host server or FRU. start /SYS setlocator [on/off] Turns the Locator LED on the server on or off. set /SYS/LOCATE value=value showfaults [–v] Displays current valid system faults. show /SP/faultmgmt clearfault UUID Manually repairs system faults. set /SYS/component clear_fault_action=true showlocator Displays the current state of the Locator LED as either on or off. show /SYS/LOCATE

No equivalent in ILOM removefru [–y] [FRU] Prepares a FRU (for example, a power supply) for removal. The –y option enables you to skip the confirmation question. set /SYS/PS0 prepare_to_remove_action=true

How to install / upgrade Control-M Server / EM 6.4 to 7.0

Hello, In this post we going to install (or upgrade) Control-M Enterprise Manager, Server and agent 6.4 to 7.0 version.

I choose to make an "All in one" howto, because upgrading have only few steps in addition to the installation.

If you are upgrading, the first step is downloading the "Migration tool kit" (find it in the public BMC repository). If you just want install, skip the first step ;)
 



After the installation you can check in the Control-M Enterprise Manager folder, a new one : migration_export
 

Open a shell and execute the "migration.bat" and choose the good option.
 

This step check your data. If all is OK, the export files are stored in "migration_export" folder.
 

Now move this folder to a temp/secure folder because for the upgrade we must uninstall previous Control-M components (and of course everything will be delete...)

Installation

For upgraders : you need to uninstall all Control-M components before.

Installing Control-M Servers and Enterprise manager is really smooth and easy.
Take your Control-M Enterprise Manager CD/packages Double-click "setup.exe"

!!! If you upgrade sometimes we have some little problems !!!
 

Wait...We have already uninstall all components... Check the regedit

 

Delete all "Control-M" input here. Now we can continue...
 

Choose the default settings (for specific settings, wait another post ^^ ) and...



OK...we must install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 before...
After that you need to specify all the settings (Installation path, database size, database passwords...)
 

Check if all is OK
 

Click install and...
 

Go for a coffee ^^ It's done !

Upgraders : now take your "migration_export" folder and rename it to "migration_import"
put it in Windows : <em_home>\migration_import\ Launch "migration.bat" and choose option 1 and follow the on-screen instructions until the import is complete.

Done !

How to add and configure Control-M Agents

Adding Control-M agents is very easy.

I show you the differents methods (graphical via CCM or command line via ctm_menu)  to achieve this.

Like always, i make a short video you'll find at the end of post ;)

First, of course, Agents must be installed ( Installation of Control-M Server and Agents soon... ;)  ).  

First method : Control-M Configuration Manager

The easy way ! ^^ Login to CCM (with Administrator privileges)
Go to "Components" ==> "New" ==> "Control-M Agent"
 

Now put the right Control-M Agent name



Click "OK"

 
"Drumroll"....
  


Done !

Isn't that so easy ? :)

Second method : command line via ctm_menu

Choose option n°9 "Agent Status"
    

Next, option n°6 (the easy way ^^)
 

Enter the correct Agent name
 

Press enter
 

OK...check your "Configuration Control-M Manager client" :
 

Done !   Here a quick video
