(sc>) from the ok prompt or from the Solaris prompt, provided the system console
is configured to be accessible through the serial and network management ports. For
more information, see the following:
"How to Get to the ok Prompt" on page 176
"About Switching Between the ALOM System Controller and the System
Console" on page 175
The sc> prompt indicates that you are interacting with the ALOM system controller
directly. It is the first prompt you see when you log in to the system through the
serial management port or network management port, regardless of system power
state.
Note – When you access the ALOM system controller for the first time, it forces you
to create a user name and password for subsequent access. After this initial
configuration, you will be prompted to enter a user name and password every time
you access the ALOM system controller.
Access Through Multiple Controller Sessions
Up to five ALOM system controller sessions can be active concurrently, one session
through the serial management port and up to four sessions through the network
management port. Users of each of these sessions can issue commands at the sc>
prompt, but only one user at a time can access the system console, and then only if
the system console is configured to be accessible through the serial and network
management ports. For more information, see
"How to Use the Serial Management Port" on page 178
"How to Activate the Network Management Port" on page 179
Any additional ALOM system controller sessions afford passive views of system
console activity, until the active user of the system console logs out. However, the
console -f command, if you enable it, allows users to seize access to the system
console from one another. For more information, see the Sun Advanced Lights Out
Manager (ALOM) Online Help.
Ways of Reaching the sc> Prompt
There are several ways to get to the sc> prompt. These are:
If the system console is directed to the serial and network management ports, you
can type the ALOM system controller escape sequence (#.).
