Sun Microsystems Sun Fire V100 manual To Share the Serial A/LOM Port Between LOM and the Console

The Serial B port (ttyb) is now your console port. The Serial A/LOM port remains in the control of the LOM device.

▼To Share the Serial A/LOM Port Between LOM and the Console

Note –By default, the Serial A/LOM port is shared by the LOM device and the console. Therefore, you should follow the instructions in this section only if you have configured the server by using the instructions in the previous section (“To Dedicate Serial A/LOM to LOM” on page 60) and you now want to share the Serial A/LOM port between LOM and the console.

1.Set up console connections to both the Serial A/LOM port and the Serial B port.

2.At the Solaris prompt, type:

#eeprom input-device=ttya

#eeprom output-device=ttya

#reboot

The Serial A/LOM port (ttya) is now shared between the LOM device and the console.

Viewing Event Reports That LOM Sends to syslogd

The LOM device monitors the status of the fans, supply rails, temperature, and power supply even when the server is powered off (the LOM device operates on standby power). If it detects a fault, it turns on the Fault LED on the server’s front and back panels and stores a report in an event log, which resides in memory on the LOM device. When the Solaris environment is running, the LOM device also sends event reports to syslogd. The syslogd handles these in the way it has been configured to handle event reports. This means that by default it sends them to the console and stores them in this directory:

/var/adm/messages
