How To Get To The Ok Prompt - Sun Microsystems Sun Fire V440 Diagnostics And Troubleshooting Manual

The # or % prompt indicates that you are at the system console and that the
Solaris operating environment is running.
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 you are at the ALOM system controller.
Note – If no text or prompt appears, it may be the case that no console messages
were recently generated by the system. If this happens, pressing the terminal's Enter
or Return key should produce a prompt.
To reach the system console from the ALOM system controller, type the console
command at the sc> prompt. To reach the ALOM system controller from the system
console, type the system controller escape sequence, which by default is #. (pound
period).

How to Get to the ok Prompt

Before You Begin
This procedure provides several ways of reaching the ok prompt. The methods are
not equally desirable. For details about when to use each method, see:
"About the ok Prompt" on page 171
Note – Dropping the Sun Fire V440 server to the ok prompt suspends all
application and operating system software. After you issue firmware commands and
run firmware-based tests from the ok prompt, the system might not be able to
resume where it left off.
