Sun Microsystems 440 Switching Between the ALOM System Controller and the System Console

Chapter 1 Configuring the System Console 15
Switching Between the ALOM System
Controller and the System Console
The Netra 440 server features two management ports, labeled SERIAL MGT and
NET MGT, located on the server’s back panel. If the system console is directed to use
the serial management and network management ports (its default configuration),
these ports provide access to both the system console and the ALOM system
controller, each on a separate “channel” (see FIGURE 1-4).

If the system console is configured to be accessible from the serial management and
network management ports, when you connect through one of these ports you can
access either the ALOM command-line interface or the system console. You can
switch between the ALOM system controller and the system console at any time, but
you cannot access both at the same time from a single terminal or shell tool.
