Sun Advanced Lights-Out Manager

The Sun Fire V210 and V240 servers are shipped with the Sun™ Advanced Lights Out Manager (ALOM) software installed. The system console is directed to ALOM by default and is configured to show server console information on startup.

ALOM enables you to monitor and control your server over either a serial connection (using the SERIAL MGT port), or Ethernet connection (using the NET MGT port). For information about configuring an Ethernet connection, refer to the ALOM Online Help.

Note – The ALOM serial port, labelled SERIAL MGT, is for server management

only. If you need a general purpose serial port, use the serial port labeled 10101.

ALOM can be configured to send email notification of hardware failures and other events related to the server or to ALOM.

The ALOM circuitry uses standby power from the server. This means that:

■ ALOM is active as soon as the server is connected to a power source, and remains

active until power is removed by unplugging the power cable.

■ ALOM continues to be effective even when the operating system is offline and

when the server is in Standby mode.

Installation Overview

Each step in this procedure refers you to the relevant section of the documentation for more information. Complete each step in the order listed.

1. Verify that you have received all of the components that ship with your server.

● See TABLE 1-3.

2. Install the server into a rack or cabinet.

● See “Rackmounting the Server” on page 10.

3. Install any optional components shipped with your system.

Note – See the installation procedures for these components in the Sun Fire V210 and

V240 Servers Administration Guide, which is included on the Sun Fire V210 and V240 Servers Documentation CD.

4. Set up a terminal or console for installing your server.

You can either establish a tip connection from another server or use an ASCII terminal connected to the SERIAL MGT port.

● See “Setting Up a Console Connection to the Server” on page 36.

5. Power on and configure the server.

The Solaris operating environment is preinstalled on the server. When you power on, you will automatically be taken through the Solaris operating environment configuration procedure.

● See “Powering On The Server” on page 42.
