Need to reset your rsc password from the OS?
Don’t know what the user name is?
# /usr/platform/`uname -i`/rsc/rscadm usershow username permissions password -------- ----------- -------- admin cuar Assigned
To reset the password:
# /usr/platform/`uname -i`/rsc/rscadm userpassword root
Need help:
# /usr/platform/`uname -i`/rsc/rscadm help USAGE: rscadm[options] For a list of commands, type "rscadm help" rscadm - COMMANDS SUPPORTED help, date, set, show, resetrsc, download, send_event, useradd, userdel, usershow, userpassword, userperm, shownetwork, loghistory, version rscadm - COMMAND DETAILS rscadm help => this message rscadm date [-s] | [[mmdd]HHMM | mmddHHMM[cc]yy][.SS] => print or set date rscadm set => set variable to value rscadm show [variable] => show variable(s) rscadm resetrsc [-s] => reset RSC (-s soft reset) rscadm download [boot] => program firmware or [boot] monitor rscadm send_event [-c] "message" => send message as event (-c CRITICAL) rscadm useradd => add RSC user account rscadm userdel => delete RSC user account rscadm usershow [username] => show user details rscadm userpassword => set user password rscadm userperm [cuar] => set user permissions rscadm shownetwork => show network configuration rscadm loghistory => show RSC event log rscadm version => show RSC version
I always find myself needing this command. It is very handy if your OS is up but your rsc is not responding. Now if your OS is down .. this will not help much.
This is an example of a non-responding rsc:
# telnet myrsc Trying my.ip.to.my.rsc ... Connected to myrsc Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host.
Check network config:
# /usr/platform/`uname -i`/rsc/rscadm shownetwork IP Address: Gateway address: Netmask: Ethernet address:
Soft Reset:
# /usr/platform/`uname -i`/rsc/rscadm resetrsc -s Are you sure you want to reboot RSC (y/n)? y
After doing a soft reset you should get a login prompt if not you can try a hard reset.
Hard Reset:
# /usr/platform/`uname -i`/rsc/rscadm resetrsc Are you sure you want to reboot RSC (y/n)? y
The rscadm command has many other options. You can even reset the rsc password with it.
Error:
# /usr/platform/`uname -i`/rsc/rscadm resetrsc -s bash: /usr/platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-V245/rsc/rscadm: No such file or directory
Well you may not have an rsc but an ALOM .. try
/usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/scadm resetrsc -s
