The prompt displayed on the terminal or shell tool tells you which channel you are
accessing:
■ The # or % prompt indicates that you are at the system console and that the
Solaris OS is running.
■ The ok prompt indicates that you are at the system console and that the server is
running under OpenBoot firmware control.
■ The -> prompt indicates that you are at the service processor.
Note – If no text or prompt appears, it might be because no console messages were
recently generated by the system. Pressing the terminal’s Enter or Return key should
produce a prompt.
▼ To Switch Between the Service Processor and the
System Console
● To reach the system console from the service processor, type the
start /SP/console
command at the -> prompt.
● To reach the service processor from the system console, type the service
processor escape sequence. By default, the escape sequence is #. (Pound-
Period).
For more information about communicating with the service processor and system
console, see:

ILOM -> Prompt
The ILOM service processor runs independently of the server and regardless of
system power state. When you connect your server to AC power, the ILOM service
processor immediately starts up, and begins monitoring the system.
