Sun Fire X Servers - ILOM Serial Console Configuration (Linux)

(I created the wiki page on BigAdmin describing how to configure the ILOM serial port for serial console access, similar to how you can do this on SPARC based servers) Configuring the ILOM SP serial console allows you to have an additional "lightweight" method of accessing a Linux console. This involves a few configuration steps in the ILOM SP and configuring GRUB to to provide the serial port as an additional output console.

NAME
systemd-getty-generator - Generator for enabling getty instances on the console SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-getty-generator DESCRIPTION
systemd-getty-generator is a generator that automatically instantiates serial-getty@.service on the kernel console /dev/console if that is not directed to the virtual console subsystem. It will also instantiate serial-getty@.service instances for virtualizer consoles, if execution in a virtualized environment is detected. This should ensure that the user is shown a login prompt at the right place, regardless of which environment the system is started in. For example, it is sufficient to redirect the kernel console with a kernel command line argument such as console= to get both kernel messages and a getty prompt on a serial TTY. See kernel-parameters.txt[1] for more information on the console= kernel parameter. systemd-getty-generator implements the generator specification[2]. Further information about configuration of gettys you may find in systemd for Administrators, Part XVI: Gettys on Serial Consoles (and Elsewhere)[3]. SEE ALSO
