## How to Connect Remotely Using the ILOM Web Interface

Before You Begin

The requirements for the JavaRConsole (remote console) system are:

- Solaris, Linux, or Windows operating system is installed.

- The system must be connected to a network that has access to the server's Ethernet management port.

- Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.5 or later is installed.

- If the remote console system is running Solaris OS, volume management must be disabled for the remote console to access the physical floppy and CD/DVD-ROM drives.

- If the remote console system is running Windows, Internet Explorer Enhanced Security must be disabled.

- The remote console system and ILOM service processor must be set up according to the instructions in the Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) Web Interface Procedures Guide.

1. Start the remote console application by typing the IP address of the ILOM service processor into a browser on the remote console system.

   The Security Alert dialog box is displayed.

2. Click Yes.

   The ILOM login screen appears.

3. Enter the user name and password and click Log In.

   The default user name is `root` and default password is `changeme`.

   The ILOM Version Information screen appears.

4. Click the Remote Control tab in the ILOM Web interface.

   The Launch Redirection screen appears.

   Note - Make sure that the mouse mode is set to Absolute mode in the Mouse Mode Settings tab.

5. Click 8-bit color or 16-bit color, and then click Launch Redirection.

   Note - When using a Windows system for remote console redirection, an additional warning appears after clicking Launch Redirection. If the Hostname Mismatch dialog box is displayed, click the Yes button.

   The Remote Control dialog box appears.

6. In the Remote Control Login dialog box, enter your user name and password and click OK.

   Note - You must have administrator privileges.

   The default user name is `root` and default password is `changeme`.

   The JavaRConsole screen appears.

7. From the Devices menu, select the appropriate item based on the delivery method you have chosen.

   - Remote Physical Floppy Disk: Select `Floppy` to redirect the server to the physical floppy drive attached to the remote console.

   - Remote Floppy Image: Select `Floppy Image` to redirect the server to the floppy image file located on the remote console.

   - Remote Physical CD/DVD: Select `CD-ROM` to redirect the server to the CD/DVD in the CD/DVD drive attached to the remote console.

   - Remote CD/DVD Image: Select `CD-ROM Image` to redirect the server to the `.iso` image file located on the remote console.

     Note - Using the CD-ROM Remote or CD-ROM Image options to install software on your server significantly increases the time necessary to perform the installation because the content is accessed over the network. The installation duration depends on the network connectivity and traffic.
