Note – Power-on self-test (POST) diagnostics cannot display status and error
messages to a local graphics terminal. If you configure a local graphics terminal as
the system console, POST messages will be redirected to the serial port (ttya), but
other system console messages will appear on the graphics terminal.
Using the System Controller as the System Console
Once the system controller (SC) is set up and its software configured, you can use
the SC and RSC software as the system console. This may be a useful option if you
need to access the system console from remote locations. The system controller also
provides system console access from workstations running various operating
environments.
For instructions on setting up the system controller as the system console, see “How
to Redirect the System Console to the System Controller” on page 159.
For instructions on configuring and using RSC software, see the Sun Remote System
Controller (RSC) User’s Guide.
