Using the Remote Console

ILOM Remote Console is a Java application that enables you to remotely redirect and control the following devices on the host server.

• Keyboard

• Video console display

• Serial console display

• Mouse device

• Storage devices or images (CD/DVD)

This group of devices is commonly abbreviated as KVMS.

Remote Console is supported on the Sun Blade T6340 Server Module. Connection by Remote Console corresponds with item 2 in the figure in Hardware Connection Options. For more information about connection options for your Sun Blade T6340 Server Module that are depicted in that figure, refer to the Sun Blade T6340 Server Module Getting Started Guide and Sun Blade T6340 Server Module Installation and Administration Guide.

ILOM Remote Console is documented in the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Web Interface Procedures Guide (Chapter 12, “Managing Remote Hosts”). Much of the information in the guide is applicable for the Sun Blade T6340 Server Module. This chapter describes differences in using Remote Console with a Sun Blade T6340 Server Module.

Before you can use Remote Console with a Sun Blade T6340 Server Module, you must configure the host:

• If you want to work remotely with OpenBoot output and the ok prompt, refer to “Configuring the Host for Using Remote Console With OpenBoot” on page 45.

• If you want to work remotely with Solaris, refer to “Configuring the Host for Using Remote Console With Solaris” on page 49.
