How to Monitor the System Using
Sun Advanced Lights Out Manager
This section explains how to use Sun Advanced Lights Out Manager (ALOM) to
monitor a Sun Fire V440 server, and steps you through some of the tool's most
important features.
For background information about ALOM, see:

Sun Advanced Lights Out Manager (ALOM) Online Help.
Before You Begin
Log in to the system console and access the ok prompt. For instructions, see:
"How to Get to the ok Prompt" on page 176
There are several ways to connect to and use the ALOM system controller,
depending on how your data center and its network are set up. This procedure
assumes that you intend to monitor the Sun Fire V440 system by way of an
alphanumeric terminal or terminal server connected to the server's SERIAL MGT
port, or by using a telnet connection to the NET MGT port.
The procedure also assumes that the system console is in its default configuration, so
that you are able to switch between the system controller and the system console.
