4.9 Host Console Support

The storage servers and database servers of Oracle Exadata are configured to provide host console access.

The host console is useful when collecting Oracle Linux kernel traces or creating crash dump files to help diagnose severe malfunctions.

To access the host console, perform the following procedure:

1. Connect to the Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) using SSH and log in as an ILOM administrator.

2. Run the start /SP/console command

   To stop using the console, use the stop /SP/console command.
