Prompt This chapter introduces the LOM Lights-Out Management facilities available for the Sun Fire V120 and Netra 120 servers and tells you how to use the /usr/sbin/lom utility which provides a user interface to the device. The chapter contains the following sections: Section 8.1, “Introduction to Lights-Out Management”...
Page 102: Introduction To Lights-Out Management
Introduction to Lights-Out Management The system board in the Sun Fire V120 and Netra 120 servers contains a LOM device (see FIGURE 8-1 and respond quickly to problems. The facilities are particularly useful for managing servers that are deployed in a “lights out” environment. However, you can also use them to perform quick onsite management tasks at a locally connected terminal.
Page 103: Powering On Or Resetting The Server From The Lom Shell
For information about the LOM commands available with the Solaris operating environment, see Chapter 9. When the Sun Fire V120 and Netra 120 servers are connected to a power source, they are always either fully powered or in standby power mode. To remove power entirely from these servers you must disonnect their power cables or open all external circuit breakers.
Page 104: Powering The Server On Or Down To Standby Mode
If the server you are connected to is not powered on but is connected to mains electricity, you will see the lom> prompt at your terminal. Remember that the LOM uses standby power and so remains active even when the Sun Fire V120 or Netra 120 server is not powered on.

(However, the bootmode command is provided because the L1 key combinations are not available for the Sun Fire V120 or Netra 120 server: you cannot use these key combinations from a keyboard that is connected to the server via a serial link.)
Page 107: Table 8-1 Boot Modes
8.2.6.1 Boot Modes Available If you use the bootmode command without arguments, the LOM device reports just the current boot mode. The boot modes available are listed in Boot Modes TABLE 8-1 Mode normal forth reset_nvram diag skip_diag Description This option does not represent a boot mode. However, if you have previously dedicated the Serial A/LOM port to the LOM device and now want to share the port between the console and the LOM device, you can use the -u option to achieve this.

Page 193: System Board Jumper Settings
A P P E N D I X System Board Jumper Settings This appendix describes the functions and factory-default settings of the jumpers on the system board of the Sun Fire V120 and Netra 120 servers.
Page 194: Table D-1 Factory-Default Jumper Settings
This setting identifies the system to OpenBoot PROM and Solaris as a Netra 120 server. If you are installing a new system board into a Netra 120, you must set the jumpers on the replacement board to match this setting. (Note that the factory default setting is for the Sun Fire V120, not for the Netra 120 system.
Page 195 This jumper tells the DVD or CD-ROM drive (if one is installed) that it is a Master ATA device. For the DVD and CD-ROM drives currently available for the Sun Fire V120 and Netra 120 systems, this jumper must be Open.
