8-20 Sun Fire V120 and Netra 120 Server User’s Guide • December 2001
The Serial B port (ttyb) is now your console port. The Serial A/LOM port remainsin
the control of the LOM device.

8.6.2 Sharing Serial A/LOM Between the LOM and the

Console

By default, the Serial A/LOM port is shared by the LOM device and the console.
Therefore, you only need to follow the instructions in this section if you have
configuredthe server by using the instructions in the previous section (Section 8.6.1,
“Dedicating Serial A/LOM to the LOM” on page 8-19) and you now want to share
the Serial A/LOM port between the LOM and the console.
Toshare the port between the LOM device 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:
The Serial A/LOM port (ttya) is now shared between the LOM device and the
console.
8.7 Viewing the Event Reports That theLOM Sends to syslogd
The LOM device monitors the status of the fans, supply rails, temperature, and
power supply even when the server is powered down (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 inan event log which resides in memory on the
LOM device. When Solaris is running, the LOM device also sends event reports to
syslogd.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
the following file:
/var/adm/messages
#eeprom input-device=ttya
#eeprom output-device=ttya
#reboot
