Solaris

Hello,

I'm set to go out to our M4000 to reset the XSCF password, since the person who set it up doesn't remember what password they setup.

I have all the steps, but the only question I can't find an answer to is around the mode switch. Right now, based on prtdiag, the mode switch is in LOCK mode.

This is a production system, so is it safe to do it during business hours? I'll essentially log with in default, add a new user, set the password and privledges, and log out and be done.

What happens to the server, the LDOMs and the zones running on the server when I switch it to Service mode so they I can log in with the default password? Does the server become unavailable? Should I expect an outage?



Thanks for the help.

1. the XSCF is not depending on the host or domains (so no downtime is needed).
2. there are no LDOMS on M-series servers.

Duke,

Thanks for the reply. So, based on what you're saying, I should be able to plug in the serial cable, log in with default, switch the mode to service from locked and not experience any downtime on any of the domains/hosts running on that server when accessing the XSCF console?

If so, that's great news.
