Chapter 3 Powering On the System 55
▼ To Connect to the System Console
Output from POST, OpenBoot, and the Solaris OS is displayed in the system console
using the network console on the service processor.
● Type the start /SP/console command.
Multiple users can be connected to the console, but only one can be attached.
Note – For more information about POST output, refer to the SPARC Enterprise
T5120 and T5220 Servers Service Manual.
▼ To Perform a Normal System Initialization
After you issue the start /SYS command, the CPU and memory controllers
initialize, and eventually OpenBoot initializes. After a number of system console
messages, the ok prompt appears, or the system will boot into the Solaris OS.
Note – System behavior depends on how the auto-boot variable is set. See the
SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 Servers Service Manual for more information.
The following example output is a small section of the complete output.
