Use the information that you gathered in “Installation Worksheet” on page 32 as you perform the configuration.

After configuring the server module ILOM, you can configure the preinstalled Solaris 10 Operating System (OS) by using the service processor to connect to the system console.

To Configure the Preinstalled Solaris 10 OS

You can connect to the service processor using a serial terminal, or the Ethernet, as described in “Connecting to the Server Module ILOM” on page 13.

If you connect to the service processor using a serial terminal, you can use one of the following options:

To capture the serial port output, on a client running Solaris OS, type: $tip -9600 /dev/ttya

On a client running the Windows OS, start a program such as Hyperterminal.

On a client running the Linux OS, start a program such as Minicom, a text-based serial communication program that is included in the Linux distributions. For more information, see the man pages included in the Linux distribution.

1.Connect and log in to the service processor using one of the methods described in “Connecting to the Server Module ILOM” on page 13.
