When the platform OS is up and running, your console can be one of the following:

• a locally attached monitor
• a Java[TM] Remote Console on the ELOM GUI,
• a text based session on the serial console redirection in the ELOM Service Processor Command Line (CLI).

Please note BIOS menu or system boot message before platform OS up will appear on all these console.

When accessing a system console, please type any key and check if the console is responding to see if the console is working or not.

Please note that there might be a process blocking the console; press CTRL+C to break this process to see if there still response from the console.

If there is no console response to the key presses then the system may be hung. Refer to one of the following documents to troubleshoot further:

1. Physically Console via locally attached Graphics Monitor

This is the easiest connection to check, assuming you have a monitor attached to the video connector on the back on the system and a USB keyboard.

2. Getting Console via ELOM GUI

If configured, you may use the ELOM GUI interface to control your server remotely using the built in Java KVM. You can use this even when the system is running in graphical mode, for example, X Windows.

• Open ELOM Service Processor GUI; to access enter https://<ELOM IP address> in a supported browser.
• Depending of the ELOM version installed on your system, there are different ways to get the Java Remote Console:
  • Select tab "Remote Control" and than "Redirection". To get the Remote Console for this system please click the button "Launch Redirection"
    - or -
  • Click the "Launch" button right next to the small thumbnail of the monitor screenshot.

Refer to Embedded Lights Out Manager (ELOM) Administration Guide For ELOM for you platform and ELOM version. Also see ELOM Administration Guide Supplement for Sun Fire[TM] if available for your platform at:

3. Getting console via ELOM Service Processor Command Line (CLI)

You can connect to a serial console redirection on ELOM. Please note that the serial console needs to be supported by your Operating System and needs to be Configured and enabled before.

• Log in to the Service Processor using the SSH command. NOTE: You will need the IP address of the Service Processor to do this:

        ssh -l <USERNAME> <IP_ADDRESS>
Passwd: changeme (default passwd)
-> start /SP/AgentInfo/console
console activate sucessfull
press ESC ( to terminate session...
