Power On the Server (Oracle ILOM)
This procedure explains how to access and power on the host through the SER MGT port using the Oracle ILOM CLI.
ORACLESP-xxxxxxxxxx login: root Password: changeme . . . ->
After a brief delay, the Oracle ILOM prompt is displayed (->). At this point, there are many commands you can perform using the Oracle ILOM interface.
Additional SP information, such as how to change the password and how to set up the SP network parameters is available in Server Administration.
-> start /System Are you sure you want to start /SYS (y/n)? y Starting /System -> start /HOST/console Are you sure you want to start /HOST/CONSOLE (y/n)? y Serial console started. To stop, type #. . . .
After you start the host console, the server initialization takes approximately 20 minutes to complete and the server boots.
After the server boots, the GRUB menu appears, providing prompts to install the preinstalled OS.
GNU GRUB Version 0.97 (607K lower / 2087168K) s11_2011.11_a - Serial Port (ttya) s11_2011.11_a - Graphics Adapter
From the GRUB menu, you can choose whether you want to continue to direct the display to the serial port, or whether you want to direct the display to a device connected to the video port.
Note - By default, the system displays the output to the serial port. If you do not select an option on the GRUB menu, after 10 seconds, the GRUB menu is no longer available, and the system continues with the output directed to the serial port.
To install an OS on the Netra Server X3-2 (formerly Sun Netra X4270 M3 Server) from Oracle, refer to Server OS Installation.
