How do I configure the ILOM on a Sun Fire x4200 server?

To configure the ILOM on a Sun Fire x4200, connect the serial management port to a console server, to your laptop via a cross-over cable, or a number of other ways.  Once you have established a connection to the mgmt port, login to the service processor.

You will be brought to a login prompt like the example below.

SUNSPnnnnnnnnnn login:

The default username and password combination is username root and password changeme.  Once you login to the SP, type the following commands:

cd /SP/network
set pendingipaddress=10.10.1.100
set pendingipnetmask=255.255.255.0
set pendingipgateway=10.10.1.1
set commitpending=true

After the commitpending command returns, you should now have a prompt back.  To test your connectivity, ssh to
10.10.1.100.

If you can successfully connect, then you are all set.  You can also open a web browser and navigate to that IP address.
