You can install the OS and administer the server by
attaching a local console directly to the server SP. Examples of local consoles
include:
|
- Attach a local console to the server.
For details, see “Attaching Cables to the Server” in the Sun Server X2-4 Installation Guide.
At the Oracle ILOM prompt, type your Oracle ILOM user name and password.
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 |

You can install the OS
and administer the server from a remote console by establishing a network connection to
the server SP. Examples of remote consoles include:
|
- Establish an IP address for the server SP.
For details, see the Sun Server X2-4 Installation Guide.
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. |
