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.
Hi Oracle Hardware Specialists,
I have shutdown a Sun Fire X2200 server running Solaris 10 x86 to single user mode to experiment some backup commands using Web based Sun embedded Lights Out Manager Redirection to open up a console session. However, it is not possible to copy & past text with... (7 Replies)
Have a T5220 with Oracle SN stickers on outside with one SN, but the ILOM shows a different SN (from another server). It seems this is a issue with T5220's (a co-worker ran into similar problem with 2 of his servers, he just had the ILOM's swapped).
Anyone know the command to change the ILOM... (3 Replies)
Hi,
I need to install solaris remotely via the ILOM port on a x4170 box, and I have downloaded the Solaris 11 for x86 - text install image and burned it on a DVD.
When I boot the box, it's showing the boot_archive loading percentage on the SP console, but when it's done and start the interactive... (0 Replies)
Is it possible to set the information that shows in the cli banner when you login to the ILOM? In addition, after I set the hostname of the ILOM, how do I check it? (2 Replies)

Hi,
I want to know if there is a command available for obtaining the BIOS Serial Number on a Sun Fire V240 machine? Or is it a known issue that it cannot be obtained through any command?
Thanks,

dc(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual dc(7)NAME
dc - serial line/mouse/keyboard
SYNOPSIS
controller dc0 at ibus0 slot 0 vector dcintr
DESCRIPTION
The dc serial line controller provides DECstation 2100, DECstation 3100, DECstation 5000, and DECstation 5100 computer systems with key-
board, mouse, and serial communications interfaces. The serial communications interfaces on the DECstation 2100 and DECstation 3100 provide
partial modem control. The serial communications interfaces on the DECstation 5000 provide full modem control. The device special file
/dev/tty01 on a DECstation 5100 provides full modem control, while the remaining ports provide no modem control at all. All serial commu-
nications interfaces operate at baud rates from B50 to B9600, excluding B200.
The dc ports are used as follows: Usage Graphics device keyboard at 4800 BPS Mouse or tablet at 4800 BPS Communications port 1 (w/modem
control)/local terminal Communications port 2 (w/modem control)/local terminal
On all systems except the DECstation 5100, serial port 2 is used for the system console port in server (that is, non-graphics) configura-
tions. On DECstation 5100s, the serial port labeled 3 on the back of the system is always the system console port. The serial system con-
sole port always operates at 9600 BPS, 8-bits, no parity; modem control is not supported.
RESTRICTIONS
Data communications equipment attached to the console serial port in server configurations must be set to 9600 BPS, 8-bits, no parity. The
scc driver enforces this restriction.
FILES
console terminal local terminal local terminal local terminal (DECstation 5100 only)
