64 SPARC Enterprise Mx000 Servers Administration Guide • August 2009
Accessing a Domain Console From the Service Processor
You can log in to the Service Processor and use the console command to access a
particular domain.
Once you have access to the domain console, you will get the standard Solaris OS
console with associated prompts, based on the configured shell. You will be able to
run all of the normal Solaris command-line interface commands. To run Solaris GUI-
based commands, however, you must log in to the domain from a remote
environment, not through the domain console.
Logging in Directly to a Domain
If your server is networked, you can log into a domain directly using standard
Solaris applications, such as telnet, rsh, and rlogin. To ensure a secure
connection, use ssh.
CD-RW/DVD-RW Drive or Tape Drive
Assignment
On an entry-level server, the CD-RW/DVD-RW drive can be used with no special
specifications. On a midrange server, the optional CD-RW/DVD-RW drive or tape
drive can automatically be used by the domain on PSB/XSB 00-0.
On a high-end server, the CD-RW/DVD-RW drive or tape drive can be used by
assigning them to a specific card port on an I/O unit. The devices are assigned to a
specific port on an I/O unit using the cfgdevice command on the Service
Processor, then connected using the cfgadm command on the Solaris OS. The CD-
RW/DVD-RW drives are read-only.
See “To Attach a CD-RW/DVD-RW Drive or Tape Drive While the Solaris OS Is
Running on a High-End Server” on page 68 for instructions. Also, see the SPARC
Enterprise M3000/M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers XSCF User’s Guide or to the
cfgadm(1M) and cfgdevice(8) man pages for additional information.
Note – Do not use the CD-RW/DVD-RW drive unit and the tape drive unit at the
same time.
