Using the Serial Management Port

This procedure assumes that the system console is directed to use the serial
management and network management ports (the default configuration).
When you are accessing the system console using a device connected to the serial
management port, your first point of access is the ALOM system controller and its
sc> prompt. After connecting to the ALOM system controller, you can switch to the
system console itself.
For more information about the ALOM system controller card, see:
"About the ALOM System Controller Card" on page 77
Sun Advanced Lights Out Manager (ALOM) Online Help
Ensure that the serial port on your connecting device is set to the following
parameters:
9600 baud
8 bits
No parity
for instructions.
What to Do
• From a shell or command tool window, issue an appropriate
command (for example, the shutdown or init command) as
described in Solaris system administration documentation.
• From a Sun keyboard connected directly to the Sun Fire V445
server, press the Stop and A keys simultaneously.
–or–
• From an alphanumeric terminal configured to access the system
console, press the Break key.
• From the sc> prompt, type the break command. The console
command also works, provided the OS software is not running
and the server is already under OpenBoot firmware control.
• From the sc> prompt, type the reset -x command.
• From the sc> prompt, type the reset command.
