Enabling the System Controller Network
Management Port
The system controller network management port is not operational until you
configure network settings for the system controller. Configure the system controller
in this order:
1. After the system controller boots, access the ALOM command line interface
through the serial management port. See “To Log Into the System Controller
Using the Serial Management Port” on page 80.
2. Configure the system controller. See “To Configure the System Controller
Network Management Port” on page 81.
3. Enable the new values by resetting the system controller. See “To Reset the
System Controller” on page 84.
You can now use the SP network management port at any time to access the system
controller. See “To Log Into the System Controller Using the Network Management
Port” on page 85.
Logging Into the System Controller
If you are powering on the server for the first time after installation, use the system
controller serial port to power on the server and run POST. See “To Log Into the
System Controller Using the Serial Management Port” on page 80.
If the network management port has already been configured, you can use it instead
of the serial management port. See “To Log Into the System Controller Using the
Network Management Port” on page 85.
