| Using the Remote Console > Configuring the Host for Using Remote Console With OpenBoot |

### Configuring the Host at the OpenBoot Prompt

1. Establish a local connection to the default console on the server module.

   Refer to the Sun Netra T6340 Server Module Installation and Administration Guide for information about establishing a local connection.

   To use the default console, the values of OpenBoot `input-device` and `output-device` variables must be set to the default value, `virtual-console`.

2. Go to the OpenBoot `ok` prompt.

   - If you see the ILOM prompt (->), you are on the service processor, not the system console. Start the system console:

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

         Serial console started. To stop, type #.

     If you see the `ok` prompt in the console, go to Step 3.

   - If the Solaris OS is running, either configure the host in Solaris OS or bring the OS down.

     If Solaris OS is running, you will see a Solaris prompt. You can use the procedure “To Configure the Host in Solaris” on page 47.

     If you prefer to configure the host at the `ok` prompt, you must bring down Solaris to access the `ok` prompt. The preferred method of reaching the `ok` prompt is to shut down the operating system by typing an appropriate command (for example, the `init` or `uadmin` command) as described in Solaris system administration documentation.

     For example, if you type `init 0` at the Solaris prompt, the system gradually takes you to the `ok` prompt:

         # init 0

3. At the OpenBoot `ok` prompt, type:

       ok setenv output-device rscreen
       ok setenv input-device rkeyboard

   Note - The `rkeyboard` and `rscreen` aliases are defined with appropriate parameters for a Sun Netra T6340 Server Module. These aliases are not generally available or appropriate for all platforms.

4. Activate the change by using the `reset-all` command.

   The console no longer provides input.

5. Exit the console to return to the ILOM SP, using the ILOM escape sequence:

       ok #.

   The default ILOM escape sequence is #. (hash period).

6. Start the ILOM Remote Video Console from the browser interface.

   See “Configuring ILOM for Remote Management” on page 49 for more information.

7. When you want to stop using Remote Console, change the values of the variables accordingly.

   The default value for both variables is `virtual-console`. For more information about setting these variables for available connection methods, refer to the Sun Netra T6340 Server Module Installation and Administration Guide.
