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.
The Security Alert dialog box is displayed.
The ILOM login screen appears.
The default user name is root and default password is changeme.
The ILOM Version Information screen appears.
The Launch Redirection screen appears.
Note - Make sure that the mouse mode is set to Absolute mode in the Mouse Mode Settings tab.
Note - When using a Windows system for remote console redirection, an additional warning appears after clicking Launch Redirection. If the Hostname Mismatch dialog box is displayed, click the Yes button.
The Remote Control dialog box appears.
Note - You must have administrator privileges.
The default user name is root and default password is changeme.
The JavaRConsole screen appears.
Remote Physical Floppy Disk: Select Floppy to redirect the server to the physical floppy drive attached to the remote console.
Remote Floppy Image: Select Floppy Image to redirect the server to the floppy image file located on the remote console.
Remote Physical CD/DVD: Select CD-ROM to redirect the server to the CD/DVD in the CD/DVD drive attached to the remote console.
Remote CD/DVD Image: Select CD-ROM Image to redirect the server to the .iso image file located on the remote console.
Note - Using the CD-ROM Remote or CD-ROM Image options to install software on your server significantly increases the time necessary to perform the installation because the content is accessed over the network. The installation duration depends on the network connectivity and traffic.
