Note – The Netra T1 server is supplied with the Solaris 8 operating environment
installed and with the supplementary Lights-Out Management (LOM) software
described in this chapter and Chapter 9 also installed. This software enables you to
manage the Netra T1 server locally or remotely. If you ever need to re-install Solaris
8 and you want to use the Lights-Out Management facilities, you must also re-install
the Netra Lights-Out Management software from the CD entitled Software
Supplement for the Solaris 8 Operating Environment. This CD is included with the CDs
supplied with the Solaris software. The LOM software is in the following directory:
/Netra_t_Lights_Out_Management_2.0. The three packages you need are
called: SUNWlomm, SUNWlomr, and SUNWlomu.

Powering On or Resetting the Server
From the LOMlite2 Shell
To use the Lights-Out Management facilities either remotely or locally, you need a
terminal connection to the Serial A/LOM port on the Netra T1 (see Chapter 6).
There are two ways of interrogating the LOMlite2 device or of sending it commands
to perform. One is by executing LOMlite2 commands from the lom> shell prompt.
This chapter tells you how to do this. The other is by executing LOMlite2-specific
Solaris commands from the console prompt. For information about the LOMlite2
commands available with the Solarisoperatring environment, see Chapter 9.
When the Netra T1 AC200 and DC200 servers are connected to a power source, they
are always either fully powered or in standby power mode. To remove power
entirely from the server you must disonnect its power cables or open all external
circuit breakers. The methods referred to in this chapter for powering the server on
and off by using lom> prompt commands are methods either of powering the server
on or of returning it to standby power mode. The poweroff command does not
power the server off completely.
Note – All commands that involve powering on or off, resetting, or specifying the
boot mode of the server require you or the named user to have r-level LOMlite2
user permission. If you have not set up any named users of the LOMlite2 device,
then you have r-level permission by default. If you have set up one or more named
users, then you must explicitly give them r-level permission to execute these
commands. For more information about user privileges, see Section 8.4, "Setting Up
LOMlite2 Privileges for Named Users" on page 8-13.
