Configuring the System Console

Note –

To view ILOM service processor boot messages, you must establish a

connection using a serial device (such as an alphanumeric terminal) to the serial
management port before connecting AC power cords to the SPARC Enterprise T5140
or T5240 server.

You can log in to the ILOM service processor at any time, regardless of system
power state, as long as AC power is connected to the system and you have a way of
interacting with the system. You can also access the ILOM service processor prompt
(->) from the OpenBoot ok prompt, or from the Solaris # or % prompt, provided the
system console is configured to be accessible through the serial management and
network management ports.

The -> prompt indicates that you are interacting with the ILOM service processor
directly. This prompt is the first prompt you see when you log in to the system
through the serial management port or network management port, regardless of the
host’s power state.

Note –

When you access the ILOM service processor for the first time, the default

username is root and the default password is changeme.

For more information on navigating to or from the ILOM prompt, see the following:

“Reaching the ok Prompt” on page 25

“Switching Between the Service Processor and the System Console” on page 20

Access Through Multiple Controller Sessions

Up to five ILOM sessions can be active concurrently, one session through the serial
management port and up to four SSH sessions through the network management
port. Users of each of these sessions can issue commands at the -> prompt.
However, only one user at a time can access the system console, and then only if the
system console is configured to be accessible through the serial and network
management ports. For more information, see:

“Accessing the Service Processor” on page 8

“Activating the Network Management Port” on page 9

Any additional ILOM sessions afford passive views of system console activity, until
the active user of the system console logs out.
