'scadm' is missing in Solaris10

Dears,

We've a Sun SPARC T5120 server with Solari 10,
I was planning to restart the admin password of SC by 'scadm' in OS environment, but it seems it is not installed ..

Can you please guide me which package contains this tool ?

Thanks,

Hi,

Can't see it not being installed although it might be missing.

Sorry, here is a correction - not sure if the scadm utility is on the T5120 by default. From memory it may be the SUNWkvm (I think) or there may be a way to reset the ALOM back to the default condition through the front panel switches. On the Mseries you can throw he switch without inpact to reset the LOM to default - not sure about the T5120 although I've used them before I've never had to reset one.

Just a quick check, you do have "/usr/platform/sun4v/sbin" on your path?

Hi,

The path can be found out using

uname -i

it will then be /usr/platform/SUN-T5120/sbin" or something similar - not as I said earlier "sun4v"

Here is some additional information that I found while checking some stuff out, it seems that you can default the password back to "changeme" on the ILOM/Service Controller - but there is an outage required. The process seems to be;

To reset a lost ILOM password on a T5120, you need to put a jumper to connect pins 1 and 2 of J6801 on the motherboard. The J6801 you want is near the very back, middle of the jumper card right next to where the middle PCIe card would go.

Is the ipmitool installed on the system?

DukeNuke2, gull04,
Thanks for your replies, and sorry for delay in posting the reply, we had alot of operations since then and I'm back to recover the SC password :slight_smile:

Actually, in meantime I read some papers from Sun/Oracle website, and also they suggested to use a jamper to reset the iLOM password [factory-reset maybe].
You see, on the host that we try to reset the SC password, we've defined some LDoms, so my only concern here is, by doing iLOM factory-reset, does it affect the LDoms or not ?

Yep, already checked but does not exist.

Yes, it is ..
However, when I've tried to list the users, I got this error:

-bash-3.00# ipmitool user list
No hostname specified!
ipmi_lan_send_cmd failed to open intf
Get User Access command failed (channel 14, user 1)

So, do I need to parse -H with the IP of OS ?

Thanks again,
