ALOM Management Ports

The default management port is labeled SERIAL MGT. This port uses an RJ-45
connector and is for server management only—it supports only ASCII connections to
an external console. Use this port when you first begin to operate the server.
Another serial port—labeled 10101— is available for general purpose serial data
transfer. This port uses a DB-9 connector. For information on pinouts, refer to the
Sun Fire V210 and V240 Server Installation Guide.
In addition, the server has one 10Base-T Ethernet management domain interface,
labelled NET MGT. To use this port, ALOM configuration is required. For
information, see the ALOM Online Help which is included on the Sun Fire V210 and
V240 Server Documentation CD.

Setting the admin Password

When you switch to the ALOM prompt after initial poweron, you will be logged in
as the admin user and prompted to set a password. You must set this password in
order to execute certain commands.
If you are prompted to do so, set a password for the admin user.
The password must:
contain at least two alphabetic characters
contain at least one numeric or one special character
be at least six characters long
Once the password is set, the admin user has full permissions and can execute all
ALOM CLI commands.
