To Redirect the Server's Console to the RSC and Configure the OBP

The Sun Fire V490 and V890 RSC credentials are configured by running configuration utilities from the Solaris root command line prompt on the server. The servers are shipped with Solaris pre-installed.

This procedure describes only the information required by the N1 System Manager. For detailed information about console redirection on an RSC-based server and OBP configuration, see the Sun Remote System Control (RSC) 2.2 User's Guide at http://docs.sun.com/source/816–3314–12 and the Sun Remote System Control (RSC) 2.2.3 Release Notes at http://docs.sun.com/source/819–2022.

Before You Begin

• RSC Configuration Utilities version 2.3.3 must be installed on the server as described in To Download and Update the RSC Utilities.

• The RSC must be configured as described in To Configure the RSC IP Address and Credentials.

Steps

1. Log on to the manageable server's RSC using the command telnet IP address where IP address is the address you assigned to the RSC.

2. Redirect the server's console to the RSC as described in the Sun Remote System Control (RSC) 2.2 User's Guide at http://docs.sun.com/source/816–3314–12.

3. Configure the server's OBP as described in the Sun Remote System Control (RSC) 2.2 User's Guide at http://docs.sun.com/source/816–3314–12.

   Ensure the following environment variables are set to the values shown:

   OBP Environment Variable	Value
   local-mac-address?	true
   output-device	rsc-console
   input-device	rsc-console
   diag-device	disk
   diag-script	none
   diag-level	off
   diag-switch?	false

   For example:

   > setenv local-mac-address? true > setenv output-device rsc-console

   To verify the settings, type printenv.
