You must also ensure that the system console is directed to the appropriate port on
the server’s back panel, generally, the one to which your hardware console device is
attached (see

FIGURE 1-1

). You do this by setting the input-device and output-

device

OpenBoot configuration variables.

FIGURE 1-1

Directing the System Console Input and Output

Default System Console Connection Through the Serial
Management and Network Management Ports

On your server, the system console comes preconfigured to allow input and output
only by means of the service processor. The service processor must be accessed
either through the serial management port (SER MGT) or the network management
port (NET MGT). By default, the network management port is configured to retrieve
network configuration using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and to
allow connections using Secure Shell (SSH). You can modify the network
management port configuration after connecting to ILOM through either the serial
or network management ports.
