2.To start the Embedded LOM console, perform the following
a.Type cd /SP/AgentInfo
b.Type start Console
3.Follow the Solaris 10 preinstallation onscreen instructions.
4.Type the system and network information when prompted. See TABLE
The displayed screens can vary, depending on how you chose to assign network information to the server (DHCP or static IP address).
5.After the system configuration information has been entered, the OS installation continues. On completion, the system reboots and displays the Solaris OS login.
Redirect the Console Output to the Video Port (Optional)
You must complete the procedure “Configuring Solaris OS” on page 47 and be logged in to the service processor (SP) before you can redirect the console output to the video port. This procedure is optional.
Note – The Solaris GRUB menu allows you to manually select graphics adapter redirection during the boot process. If not chosen within 30 seconds after the GRUB menu is displayed, the system defaults to serial redirection (ttyb).
1.Reboot the system.
2.To enable video output, choose Solaris Build - Graphics Adapter from the GRUB menu Changing Default Console Output.
