Start the Host Console

  • At the Oracle ILOM prompt, type:
    -> start /HOST/console [option]
    Are you sure you want to start /HOST/console (y/n) ? y
    Serial console started. To stop, type #.
    

    where option can be:

    –f | –force

    Enables a user with a console (c) role to take control of the console from any current user and force that user into view mode. If you use this option, other users receive warnings that their connections have been forced into read-only mode. When a console session that used the force option exits, read-write status is restored to the next user in line, with the most recent user’s read-write status being restored first.

    –script

    Bypasses the confirmation prompt to start the console.

    After the host console has started you see system console output if Oracle Solaris is running.The OpenBoot prompt (ok) displays if Oracle Solaris is not running.
