Access Through Multiple Controller Sessions - Fujitsu SPARC Enterprise T2000 Administration Manual

You can log in to the ALOM CMT system controller at any time, regardless of system
power state, as long as AC power is connected to the system and you have a way of
interacting with the system. You can also access the ALOM CMT prompt (sc>) from
the OpenBoot ok prompt or from the Solaris # or % prompt, provided the system
console is configured to be accessible through the serial management and network
management ports.
The sc> prompt indicates that you are interacting with the ALOM CMT 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 CMT system controller for the first time and
you issue an administrative command, the controller forces you to create a password
(for the default username: admin) for subsequent access. After this initial
configuration, you will be prompted to enter a user name and password every time
you access the ALOM CMT system controller.
For more information, see the following:
"Getting to the ok Prompt" on page 24
"Switching Between the System Controller and the System Console" on page 18

Access Through Multiple Controller Sessions

Up to nine ALOM CMT sessions can be active concurrently, one session through the
serial management port and up to eight sessions through the network management
port. Users of each of these sessions can issue commands at the sc> prompt.
However, 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:
"Accessing the System Controller" on page 7
"Activating the Network Management Port" on page 8
Any additional ALOM CMT 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 ALOM CMT guide for your server.
