Accessing the ELOM Using a Web Browser

The ELOM boots automatically when a Sun server is cabled appropriately and plugged in to an AC power supply. This usually occurs within one minute. However, if the management Ethernet is not connected, or if the ELOM's Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) process fails due to the absence of a DHCP server on the management network, the ELOM might take a few minutes longer to boot.

Note – Disabling the use of the browser proxy server (if one is used) for access to the management network might speed the browser response time.

To Access the ELOM Using a Web Browser

1.To log in to the web-based interface, type the IP address of the ELOM in your web browser.
