■ A telnet utility (Connect to the proper port on a Network Terminal Server to
which the Sun Netra CP3250 blade server is connected.)
■ Another suitable serial communications program on the system console
For example, if you are using a UNIX system as the system console, at the UNIX
prompt in a command tool or shell tool, or serial port A, type:
2.2.4.2 Connecting Cables to the System Console Not Running the
Solaris OS
1. Connect a serial cable to the serial console port on the front panel of the Sun
Netra CP3250 blade server (
FIGURE 2-4) or the Netra CP32x0 rear transition
module.
2. Connect the other end of the serial cable to the serial port of the system serving
as the system console.
3. Set the serial communications settings to 9600 baud, 8 bit, 1 stop bit, no parity,
and no handshake.
2.2.4.3 Netinstall Boot Device Map
TABLE 2-2 provides a map of netinstall boot devices. You may need this information
to understand which MAC address is associated with the system IP address on the install
server.
For example, the Base Fabric interface is connected to the switch model-number in
slot 8 of the ATCA shelf. To install to this device, select the xxx Ethernet interface
from the BIOS setup menus.
# tip -9600 /dev/ttya
