How to Install From a Remote Console

You can install the OS and administer the server from a remote console by establishing a network connection to the server SP.

Examples of remote consoles include:

• Web-based client connection using the ILOM Remote Console application

• SSH client connection using a serial console

1. Establish an IP address for the server SP.

   For details, refer to either the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Getting Started Guide or the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 documentation collection. The ILOM 3.0 documentation collection is located here: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/int.lights.mgr30#hic

2. Establish a connection between a remote console and the server SP:

   • For web-based client connection, perform these steps:

     1. In a web browser, type the IP address for the server SP.

     2. Log in to the ILOM web interface.

     3. Redirect the video output from the server to the web client by launching the ILOM Remote Console.

     4. Enable device redirection (mouse, keyboard, etc.) in the Device menu.

   • For SSH client connection, perform these steps:

     1. From a serial console, establish an SSH connection to the server SP (ssh root@ipaddress)

     2. Log in to the ILOM command-line interface.

     3. Redirect the video output from the server to the SSH client by typing start /SP/console
