▼To Connect to the System Console

Output from POST, OpenBoot, and the Solaris OS is displayed in the system console using the network console on the service processor.

●Type the start /SP/console command.

Multiple users can be connected to the console, but only one can be attached.

-> start /SP/console

Are you sure you want to start /SP/console (y/n)? y

Serial console started. To stop, type #.

Note – For more information about POST output, refer to the SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 Servers Service Manual.

▼To Perform a Normal System Initialization

After you issue the start /SYS command, the CPU and memory controllers initialize, and eventually OpenBoot initializes. After a number of system console messages, the ok prompt appears, or the system will boot into the Solaris OS.

Note – System behavior depends on how the auto-bootvariable is set. See the SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 Servers Service Manual for more information.

The following example output is a small section of the complete output.

-> start /SYS
