Before You Begin
This procedure assumes:
You have connected the server to your network through an Ethernet cable. See Connecting Cables and Powering On to Standby-Power Mode.
You have already determined the SP IP address. See Determining the SP IP Address.
The default settings are 9600 baud, eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit, disable flow control.
# ssh -l root sp_ip_address
password: changeme
Note - You can connect to the ILOM service processor CLI using the serial management port on the rear of the server, or by using SSH over the network.
-> start /SP/console
A message appears prompting you to confirm that you want to start the SP console.
POST messages appear on your screen as the OS boots and the GRUB boot loader menu appears.
Use the information gathered in The Oracle Solaris OS Installation Worksheet to help you enter the system and network information when prompted.
The screens that appear will vary, depending on the method that you chose for assigning network information to the server (DHCP or static IP address).
After you have entered the system-configuration information, the server completes the boot process and displays the Oracle Solaris OS login prompt. Refer to theSun Fire X2270 M2 Server Installation Guide for Oracle Solaris Operating System for information about configuring the Oracle Solaris OS.
