You must also ensure that the system console is directed to the appropriate port on the Netra 440 server’s back panel—generally, the one to which your hardware console device is attached (see FIGURE 1-1). You do this by setting the input-deviceand output-deviceOpenBoot configuration variables.

Default System Console Connection Through the Serial Management and Network Management Ports

On Netra 440 servers, the system console comes preconfigured to allow input and output only by means of hardware devices connected to the serial or network management ports. However, because the network management port is not available until you assign it an IP address, your first connection must be to the serial management port (SERIAL MGT).
