Host Serial Console Log Properties

Oracle ILOM provides a set of properties that enables system administrators to configure 1) how the host serial console history log appears, and 2) which escape characters are used to terminate the host serial console redirection session. For descriptions of these properties, see the following tables (Table 5-1 or Table 5-2)

Note:

CLI paths for multi-domain servers are not specified in the following Host Serial Console Log Properties table. For these type of SPARC servers, append /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_n to the start of the CLI paths described in the following table.

Table 5-1 Host Serial Console Log Properties

User Interface Configurable Target and User Role:
