Configuring the Preinstalled Solaris 10 Operating System
Note – Before you perform this procedure, you need to set up the service processor if you have not done so. See Chapter 2.
Use the information that you gathered in the “Installation Worksheet” on page 27 as you perform the configuration.
Note – The Solaris 10 preinstall image has been configured to default all output to the serial port. If a monitor is attached or KVM over IP is to be used for display, Solaris 10 will need to be reinstalled or the serial output will need to be redirected to the video port. See “To Redirect the Console Output to the Video Port (Optional)” on page 33.
After configuring the Embedded LOM SP, you can configure the preinstalled Solaris 10 operating system (OS) by using another system to connect to the server. There are two methods that you can use. See the following topics:
■“To Connect to the Server Using the Service Processor’s IP Address” on page 32
If you use this method, you first need to determine the service processor’s IP address and the server must be connected to the network.
■“To Connect to the Server Using a Serial Capture Program” on page 33
If you use this method, you do not need to determine the service processor’s IP address, but you will need to have a cable connection from the server to the serial port of the serial capture host system.
