Examples of local consoles include:

• Serial console

• VGA console, with USB keyboard and mouse

1. Attach a local console to the server.

   For details, see “Attaching Cables to the Server” in the Sun Server X2-4 Installation Guide.

2. At the Oracle ILOM prompt, type your Oracle ILOM user name and password.

3. For a serial console connection only, establish a connection to the host serial port by typing start /SP/console.

   The video output is automatically routed to the local console.

For more information about establishing a connection to the server SP, refer to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.1 Documentation Library at: http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?ctx=ilom31

If you are using Oracle ILOM 3.0, you can access the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Documentation Library at: http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?ctx=ilom30.

Examples of remote consoles include:

• Web-based client connection using the Oracle ILOM Remote Console application

• SSH client connection using a serial console

1. Establish an IP address for the server SP.

   For details, see the Sun Server X2-4 Installation Guide.

2. Establish a connection between a remote console and the server SP:

   For web-based client connection, perform these steps: 1) In a web browser, type the IP address for the server SP; 2) log in to the Oracle ILOM web interface; 3) redirect the video output from the server to the web client by launching the Oracle ILOM Remote Console; 4) enable device redirection (mouse, keyboard, etc.) using the Devices menu.

   For SSH client connection, perform these steps: 1) From a serial console, establish an SSH connection to the server SP (ssh root@ILOM_SP_ipaddress); 2) log in to the Oracle ILOM command-line interface; 3) redirect the serial output from the server to the SSH client by typing start /SP/console.

For additional information about establishing a remote connection to the ILOM SP or using the ILOM Remote Console, see the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 or 3.1 Documentation Libraries.
