How to Connect to the Server Using a Serial Capture
Program
Use a cable to connect the serial port of the server to the serial port of the serial capture host
system.
Make sure that the communication properties of the serial port of the system are set to the
default.
The default settings are 9600 baud, 8, N, 1 (eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit), disable flow
control.
Start a terminal session to capture the serial port output:
On a client running Solaris OS, type:
$
tip -9600 /dev/ttya
On a client running Windows, start a program such as Hyperterminal.
On a client running Linux, start a program such as Minicom, a text-based serial communication
program that is included in the Linux distributions. For more information, see the man pages
included in the Linux distribution.
Log in to the service processor as an Administrator, for example:
login:
root
password:
changeme
Start the ILOM SP GUI by typing the following:
start /SP/console
