Chapter 6 Powering On the Server 87
▼ To Connect to the System Console
Output from POST, OpenBoot, and the Solaris OS is displayed in the system console
using the network console on the system controller.
● Execute the console command, and use the –f option to force the console to be
attached to your session.
Multiple users can be connected to the console, but only one can be attached.
▼ To Perform a Normal Server Initialization
● Execute the poweron command.
The CPU and memory controllers initialize and eventually OpenBoot initializes.
After a number of system messages, you see the ok prompt.
The following example is a small section of the complete output.
sc> console –f
Enter #. to return to ALOM.
