Power On the Server (Oracle ILOM)
Complete the following tasks:
Confirm that you have completed the installation of the server in its rack. See Installing the Server.
Connect a terminal or terminal emulator to the SER MGT port. See Connect a Terminal or Emulator to the SER MGT Port.
See Connect the NET MGT Cable.
After the initial configuration of the server using the SER MGT port, communication with the SP and host is usually performed through this Ethernet interface.
See Back Panel Connectors and Ports for port information.)
Note - Only two power connections are required for operation. Use four power connections and two separate circuits for redundancy.
The service processor runs on the 3.3V standby voltage. As soon as power is connected to the server, the service processor powers on, runs diagnostics, and initializes the ILOM firmware.
After a few minutes, the SP login prompt appears on the terminal device. The host is not initialized or powered on yet.

After a brief delay, the SP prompt is displayed (->). At this point, there are many commands you can perform using the ILOM interface.
Additional SP information, such as how to change the password and how to set up the SP network parameters is available in the online documentation set.
After a brief delay, the SP prompt is displayed (->). At this point, there are many commands you can perform using the ILOM interface.
-> start /SP/console Are you sure you want to start /SP/console (y/n)? y Serial console started. To stop, type #. . . .
After you start the SP console, the server initialization takes approximately 20 minutes to complete. This terminal device displays all SP console messages during initial boot.
-> start /SYS Are you sure you want to start /SYS (y/n)? y
This terminal device displays all system console messages during initial boot.
You are prompted to confirm the configuration several times, enabling confirmation and changes. If you are not sure how to respond to a particular value, you can accept the default, and make future changes when the Oracle Solaris OS is running. See Oracle Solaris OS Configuration Parameters for a description of the Oracle Solaris OS parameters you must provide during initial configuration.
You can use several commands to verify the functionality of the server. The following list describes a few of them:
Review the Oracle Solaris OS man pages and documentation for more details.
