Sun Microsystems X4100 M2, X4200 M2 manual Connecting to the ILOM Service Processor

Connecting to the ILOM Service Processor

There are two methods for connecting to the ILOM SP to perform initial setup and configuration. Use the procedure that you prefer:

■“Connecting to ILOM Using a Serial Connection” on page 21

■“Connecting to ILOM Using an Ethernet Connection” on page 23

Connecting to ILOM Using a Serial Connection

Use this procedure to establish a serial connection to the ILOM SP so that you can perform initial configuration of ILOM.

Note – This procedure assumes that you have already completed the hardware setup and have applied standby power to your server, as described in Chapter 1.

1.Verify that your terminal, laptop, or terminal server is operational.

2.Configure that terminal device or the terminal emulation software running on a laptop or PC to the following settings:

■8N1: eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit

■9600 baud

■Disable hardware flow control (CTS/RTS)

■Disable software flow control (XON/XOFF)

3.Connect a serial cable from the RJ-45 SERIAL MGT port on the server’s back panel to a terminal device. See FIGURE 1-11or FIGURE 1-12for the location of this port.
