How do I reset the ILOM from Solaris?

Abstract:

A Solaris is comprised of an OS to run the applications under, as well as a variety of instrumentation and virtualization. A typical stack includes: ILOM or SP, CDom, LDom, Zone. If you need to reboot the SP (System Processor) or ILOM (Integrated Lights Out Management), it can be done from the base OS which is normally a Control Domain, and is non-intrusive to the applications running on the base OS (as long as the CDom is not trying to save the state of the LDoms or attempting to read-write the configuration.)

Check ILOM UpTime

The ILOM tracks it's uptime and it is available through the IPMI Tool

sun1824-cd/root# ipmitool sunoem cli
Connected. Use ^D to exit.
-> 

-> show /SP/clock

 /SP/clock
    Targets:

    Properties:
        datetime = Fri Feb 17 22:47:14 2023
        timezone = EST (America/New_York)
        uptime = 34 days, 14:45:14
        usentpserver = enabled

    Commands:
        cd
        set
        show

 -> exit
Disconnected

Rebooting the ILOM

The System Processor Card can be rebooted from the base Solaris OS acting as a Control Domain via:

sun1824-cd/root# PATH=/opt/ipmitool/sbin/ipmitool:/usr/sbin
sun1824-cd/root# export PATH
sun1824-cd/root# ipmitool sunoem cli
Connected. Use ^D to exit.
-> reset /SP
Are you sure you want to reset /SP (y/n)? y
Performing reset on /SP

-> exit
Disconnected

Verify ILOM Reboot

The ILOM reboot can be verified by using the IPMI tool.

sun1824-cd/root# ipmitool sunoem cli
Connected. Use ^D to exit.
-> show /SP/clock

 /SP/clock
    Targets:

    Properties:
        datetime = Sat Feb 18 22:49:25 2023
        timezone = EST (America/New_York)
        uptime = 0 days, 00:07:43
        usentpserver = enabled

    Commands:
        cd
        set
        show

-> exit
