How to get to a OK prompt on new SUN T5140

Hi,

I have a brand new SUN T5140 machine. I am trying to install Solaris 10 on the box. When I go to the machine using a KVM session I can see a blank screen , how can I get to the OK prompt to start the installation.

Thanks,
Suresh

I have not worked on that model yet, I would guess the normal "#." would do it. Go to docs.sun.com and see if you can get the admin docs for that server, they will have all the information you need.

which KVM session?

you've to give the ilom a ip with dhcp or a static one via the serial port. on the serial port login to the ilom with root and the default password. if you don't know the default one, i'll send it to you via pm, just ak. after login to serial console type:

Code:
start /SYS
start /SP/console

and you'll come to the "ok" prompt after the post. to setup network with static ip go to "cd /SP/network" and do all needed settings there!

hth,
DN2

i don't understand your question...

Code:
start /SP/console

should bring you to "ok" prompt after you powered on the server.

I think the system has booted to the OS installation screen. Meaning, it has already booted from the ok> prompt already. What you need to do is select vt100 or whatever relevant to cont install

#. will not drop you into the OBP. it will put you into the system controller.

look like: sc>

what i'm confused about is why you want to be at the OBP when you want to start the installation? after what DN2 has posted, and your post, the installation has started which was what you wanted from the start? am i wrong on this?
