Alom Cmt And The Sc> Prompt - Sun Microsystems SPARC Enterprise T1000 Administration Manual

accessing:
The # or % prompt indicates that you are at the system console and that the

The ok prompt indicates that you are at the system console and that the server is
■
running under OpenBoot firmware control.
The sc> prompt indicates that you are at the ALOM CMT command-line

might be necessary to issue the escape sequence is #. (Hash-Period) to return to

immediately starts up and begins monitoring the system.
