Hi All,

I have a problem which I think you may have seen it before.

When restart the server using "reset /SYS" and then connect to console
using "start /SP/console" I don't see any output I only get this

-> start /SP/console
Are you sure you want to start /SP/console (y/n)? y

Serial console started. To stop, type ESC (


I didn't install Solaris 10 x86 yet and I need to see console o/p and
GRUP to start installing Solaris!

Can anyone direct me how to solve this issue?!!


Thanks,
Saoud

This is because it's an x86 machine, and by default it will use a
PC-style console which you can get at with the web interface to ILOM.
There is some incantation to make it mirror this onto the serial
console, which I expect is covered in the ILOM manual for x86 systems
somewhere, but I don't know what it is.

I forgot to mention that even Web GUI doesn't show anything,,, I
worked on x4200 servers before and the default behavior was normal not
like this time.
