Before You Begin
The requirements for the JavaRConsole (remote console) system are:
Solaris, Linux, or Windows operating system 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 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 must be set up according to the instructions in the Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) Web Interface Procedures Guide.
