Chapter 8 Managing the Server From the lom> Prompt 8-13
8.4 Setting Up LOM Privileges for Named
Users
You can specify up to four named users of the LOM device on a Sun Fire V120 or
Netra 120 server. By default no users are set up and therefore no user login prompt
appears when you use the LOM escape sequence.
However, if you set up one or more users, every time you use the LOM escape
sequence to display the lom> prompt you will be prompted for a user name and
password. Therefore, one of the user accounts you set up, must be for yourself.
Four levels of authorization are available for named users. By default all four levels
are open to them. However, if you specify any (using the lom> userperm
command), only the level or levels that you specify will be available.
8.4.1 Permission Levels Available for LOM Users
The four levels of authorization are:
■ Console permission (c-level)
With this level of permission a named user can exit from the lom> prompt to the
Solaris prompt (if the Serial A/LOM port is shared between the LOM and the
console).
■ User administration permission (u-level)
With this level of permission a named user can add and delete users and alter
their permission levels.
■ Administration permission (a-level)
With this level of permission a named user can change the LOM device’s
configuration variables (see Section 8.1, “Introduction to Lights-Out
Management” on page 8-2).
■ Reset permission (r-level)
With this level of permission a named user can reset the server and power it on
and off using the LOM device.
For information about how to assign one or more of these levels of authorization to
a named user, see Section 8.4.7, “Specifying Permissions for a Named User” on
page 8-16.
