The following resource pool server has been
selected for creating an image.
Resource Pool Server Device ID: 50101

Following is the information on how you can gain console
access to this machine.

In an another window, telnet to the specified system controller (SC)
based on the IP address provided below.

Login into the SC using the username and password of the SC and type

console <id>

The <id> is the id printed below,
(for e.g., sc> console s5)
 
 Console Information
 ====================
 IP address of Terminal-Server(Service Controller): 10.5.136.20
 Port(Blade) ID: s1



Issue the following commands on the sytem controller to boot the
resource pool server from the disk

sc> bootmode bootscript="boot disk" s<x>.
(where "s<x>" is provided in resource pool server information)

then you can issue the following command to reset

sc> reset -y s<x> 

Please enter y when the resource pool server has booted from disk > y


You can customize your installation at this point in time.

Please logon to the resource pool server and customize.

Please enter y when your customization is completed > y


Please shutdown the resource pool server by issuing the command

For Solaris:
# /usr/sbin/shutdown -y -g0 -i0
For Linux:
# /sbin/shutdown -h now

Once the resource pool server shuts down, for sparc blades set the
OBP of resource pool server to boot using dhcp by issuing the following
command in the OBP prompt (no changes are required for i86pc blades) 

ok> setenv boot-device net:dhcp

Please enter y when the resource pool server has completed the shutdown
and when you have configured the resource pool server to boot using dhcp > y
