■
From the Oracle ILOM CLI, type the following command at the CLI prompt:

Are you sure you want to start /HOST/console (y/n)?
y
Serial console started.
■ From the Oracle ILOM web interface, select Remote Control > Redirection in
the navigation tree. Then, click the Launch Remote Console button to launch
video console redirection.
After the server boots, the GRUB menu appears. For example (your preinstalled version might
be different):
GNU GRUB Version 1.99 ,5.11.0.175.1.0.0.24.2
Oracle Solaris 11.1 - Serial Port ttya
Oracle Solaris 11.1 - Graphics Adapter
Note - When the GRUB menu appears, you have five seconds to make a selection.
4. From the GRUB menu, do one of the following:
■
If you are using the Oracle ILOM CLI, use the up/down arrow keys to select
the Serial Port (ttya) option and press Enter.
■
If you are using Oracle ILOM Remote Console Plus (or a direct video port
connection), use the up/down arrow keys to select the Graphics Adapter
option and press Enter.
Note -
If you do not make a selection, Serial Port (ttya) is used by default. This means that for
the remainder of the OS configuration process, the system will direct output to the serial port
and not to the video port.
Note -
If needed, at the GRUB menu you can type
e
to edit commands before booting, or type
c
for a command line.
