Setting up the VTL Value ILOM service
processor
The Sun StorageTek VTL Value appliance is implemented on a Sun Fire X4500 server
platform that has been specially configured for tape virtualization. Much of the configuration
of the base X4500 server has already been done at the factory. You merely need to set the IP
address of the VTL Value Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) service processor. This
chapter covers the following tasks:
■ “Understanding the ILOM” on page 25
■ “Changing the IP address of the ILOM SP” on page 26
■ “Changing the ILOM password” on page 29
■ “Checking the health of the internal storage systems” on page 30.
Understanding the ILOM
The Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) is a service processor that supports
operating-system independent management interfaces and applications for the Sun
StorageTek VTL Value appliance.
The core of the system is the Graphics Redirect and Service Processor (GRASP) hardware.
The GRASP monitors the status and configuration of field-replaceable VTL Value
components, including fans, disk drives, and power supplies. It also provides the physical,
serial and Ethernet management interfaces to the VTL Value system.
GRASP firmware provides a suite of management applications that run independent of the
operating system and CPU:
■ A server-side Secure Shell (ssh) implementation supports encrypted remote login.
■ A commandline interface (CLI) supports serial access to the system.
