Establish Communication With
ILOM Server Module SP
You can establish communication with the ILOM server module SP through a local
or remote console.
■
Local console.
Connect a serial console to the local serial management port on the
server module or Sun Blade 8000 Series Chassis Monitoring Module (CMM). For
instructions on attaching a local serial console to the server module, see
“Attach
Local Serial Console to the Server Module” on page 25
.
or
■
Remote console
. Attach a local area Ethernet network cable to the network
management port on the CMM. For more information about how to attach the
CMM management network cable, see “Attach CMM Management Network”
Cable in Chapter 4 of the
Sun Blade 8000 Series Installation Guide
(819-5647).
The type of connection you establish to ILOM determines which type of system
management tasks you can perform. For example, to remotely access the full range
of system management functionality in ILOM, you will require an Ethernet
connection to the CMM and an IP assignment for the CMM and the server module
SP.
