If I have understood, the steps are as below:
1- The server need just to be connected to a power source.
2- I connect via the Network Management Port: the console I have in this step is ILOM ?
3- start /SYS to power on the components of the server.
4- start /SP/console to start the serial console. Is this console what do we call OK PROMPT ?
5 OK boot
thanks
you can connect to the NET MGT only if you have configured it!
here a simple step-by-step:
1-Connect Laptop/PC to the Serial Port
- You need a Serial to RJ45 Ethernet apdapteror if your laptop/pc doesn't have a serial output than you need a USB-To-Serial converter and attacha Serial-To-RJ45 adapter
To connect to the serial port use a software like putty.
The connections settings should be:
Speed 9600
Data bits 8
Stop bits 1
Parity None
Flow control None
2- Connect power source and wait until you receive the login screen on putty
3- Login with username: root and password: changeme
4- type start /SYS to start the server
5- type start /SP/console to connect to the console
6- Wait until the POST process has finished
7- type in the OK prompt the boot command: boot
that's it
