Hi Jameswalter,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I have already checked this r5900 appliance mode not enabled currently.

Therefore, I tried to follow another platform KB - K11400446 (iSeries Reference). I just can apply the AOM networking settings such as IPv4 address, subnet mask, and default gateway by "esc + (" key, and able to access it through SSH. But login failed.

I tried to following the steps to create AOM users from KB - K11400446 but not positive with below result.

[root@appliance-1(BIGIPr5900) ~]# aom_setup_user

bash: aom_setup_user: command not found

[root@appliance-1(BIGIPr5900) ~]# aom_setup_user -o

bash: aom_setup_user: command not found

[root@appliance-1(BIGIPr5900) ~]# aom_setup_user -l

bash: aom_setup_user: command not found

[root@appliance-1(BIGIPr5900) ~]#

 

Just for your reference.

Thanks and Best Regards,

Alvin Ng

So, has anyone been able to set up AOM and or LOP to be able to remotely power cycle the host subsystem of an R series appliance (without using the serial console but rather using a management IP address)?

Alvin is correct in that the new AOM menu does not have a network config option and only seems to work from the serial console rather than from an ssh session. He is also correct in that the old aom_setup_user CLI command can not be found.
