SP Initial Setup

Remote Console application.

When you install Solaris or Linux on your Sun Fire

X4100 or Sun Fire X4200 server, the installation manager also copies OS-specific
drivers and applications from the Sun Fire X4100 and X4200 Resource CD to your
system hard drive. The Remote Console application is a piece of layered software
that allows remote clients to view the graphical console of your Sun Fire X4100 or
Sun Fire X4200 server as though they were directly attached to the video, mouse,
and keyboard ports of your Sun Fire X4100 or Sun Fire X4200 server.

Note –

The Remote Console application requires that you install the Sun Java

runtime environment Version 5.0 or more recent. You can download Java for free
from

http://java.com

.

Client-side Secure Shell application.

To access the ILOM SP through a remote

Secure Shell (SSH), you must install a Secure Shell communications application on
the remote client system (server, workstation, or laptop). Many Secure Shell
communications applications are available from commercial or open-source
distribution. Refer to

http://www.openssh.org

for information about open-

source client-side SSH applications.
