Entering the OpenBoot PROM on a Sun Cluster Server

This section contains information for entering the OpenBoot PROM from the Terminal Concentrator.

How to Enter the OpenBoot PROM

1. Connect to the port.

   # telnet terminal-concentrator-name 5002 Trying 192.9.200.1 ... Connected to 129.9.200.1 . Escape character is '^]'.

2. Stop the cluster software, if necessary, by using the scadmin stopnode command, and then halt the system.

   Halt the system gracefully by using the halt(1M) command.

   # halt

   If halting the system with the halt(1M) command is not possible, then enter the telnet(1) command mode. The default telnet(1) escape character is Control-].

3. Send a break to the node.

   telnet> send brk

4. Execute the OpenBoot PROM commands.
