Before You Begin
The requirements for the JavaRConsole (remote console) system include:
An operating system such as Oracle Solaris, Linux, or Windows is installed.
The system must be connected to a network that has access to the server’s Ethernet management port.
Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.5 or later is installed.
If the remote console system is running Oracle Solaris OS, volume management must be disabled for the remote console to access the physical floppy and CD/DVD-ROM drives.
If the remote console system is running Windows, Internet Explorer Enhanced Security must be disabled.
The remote console system and ILOM service processor are set up according to the instructions in the Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) Web Interface Procedures Guide.
A Security Alert dialog box might be displayed.
The ILOM login screen appears.
The default user name is root, and default password is changeme.
The ILOM main screen appears.
