Connect using ALOM to Sun Fire V210

Still Confused?
OK, so I'm sorry for firing up this thread again but I'm confused to all hell.
Since I thought this was going to be a walk in the park, I went and also bought a Sun Nextra X1 while I was waiting for my 2 cables to arrive.
I bought the CISCO cable and a Serial-to-USB adapter cable and have them connected like so:
I plug the RJ-45 of the CISCO cable into the Serial MGT port on my Sun V210.
This is the picture of the port in question:
I also plugged the RJ-45 into the A LOM and the B SERIAL ports on the back of my Nextra X1.
Here is the images of those too:
I then use CoolTerm as I was instructed up above to use it to connect to my servers.
This is where I get stuck? I'm only presented with 2 options to connect to a device using CoolTerm as pictured here:
Can someone please point me, with instructions in the right direction of what to do? I'm really stuck now and my only other option is to pay someone to do this for me, but they would require the servers to be on-site and they won't explain to me what they did. I want to understand how this works, and how I do all this.
I plugged the USB cable into the Mac, and it just didn't give me an option to connect to the USB port in CoolTerm. I listed out my /dev directory and it shows up all these connections but I don't know which one I should use.
Can I please get a little bit more information to help me out here. I really want to get these servers up and running so I can start to learn a bit more.
My only other option that I can see at this point is to buy an old computer and spend more money and get Windows XP on it and use the CISCO cable with that and the HyperTerminal app. I don't really want to go down that path. I want to get these two up and running. I want to install Solaris on one, and OpenBSD on the other.
Thank you in advance!

I brought Sun Fire 280R to practice UNIX. What are the requirements for the monitor/CRT? Will it burn out old non-Sun CRTs? Does it need LCD monitor?

Hi,
I was asked to connect a KVM screen to a Sun Fire V440 last night so I connected it up but no joy and nothing on the KVM screen. I was told that a reboot may fix the problem so connected to the ALOM and rebooted. On the plus side, the KVM screen now works but I lost the ALOM connection.

Hey,
I have a V210 with a failed CPU fan.
The temperature is currently at 84C and I've been asked to wait a few weeks before replacing as its a production system and it cant be shut down yet.
Is it too hot? Do I risk killing the CPU at this temp?

scconf_transp_adap_ge
scconf_transp_adap_ge(1M) System Administration Commands scconf_transp_adap_ge(1M) NAME
scconf_transp_adap_ge - configure the Gigabit Ethernet (ge) transport adapter DESCRIPTION
Note - Beginning with the Sun Cluster 3.2 release, Sun Cluster software includes an object-oriented command set. Although Sun Cluster software still supports the original command set, Sun Cluster procedural documentation uses only the object-oriented command set. For more infor- mation about the object-oriented command set, see the Intro(1CL) man page. You can configure ge adapters as cluster transport adapters. These adapters can only be used with transport type dlpi. The ge adapter connects to a transport switch or to another ge adapter on a different node. In either case, the connection is made through a transport cable. When a transport switch is used and the endpoints of the transport cable are configured using scconf, scinstall, or other tools, you are asked to specify a port name on the transport switch. You can provide any port name, or accept the default, as long as the name is unique for the switch. The default is to set the port name to the node ID hosting the adapter at the other end of the cable. There are no user configurable properties for cluster transport adapters of this type. SEE ALSO
