Making a Serial Connection to the SP
To make a serial connection to the SP:
1. Connect a serial cable from the RJ-45 Serial Management port on server to a
terminal device.
2. Press ENTER on the terminal device to establish a connection between that
terminal device and the ILOM SP.
Note – If you are connecting to the serial port on the SP before it has been powered
up or during its power-up sequence, you will see boot messages.
The service processor eventually displays a login prompt. For example:

The first string in the prompt is the default host name for the ILOM SP. It consists
of the prefix SUNSP and the MAC address of the ILOM SP. The MAC address for
each ILOM SP is unique.
3. Log in to the SP and type the default user name, root, with the default
password, changeme.
Once you have successfully logged in to the SP, it displays its default command
prompt.
