▼ To Redirect the Console Output to the Video
Port (Optional)
The server module’s console is automatically directed to the serial port. GRUB, the
open source boot loader, is the default boot loader in the Solaris OS for x86-based or
x64-based systems. The boot loader is the first software program that runs after you
power on a system.
1. Use a cable to connect the serial port of the host server (either through the
chassis SER MGT port or through a dongle cable’s serial port) to the video port
of the client system.
2. From the GRUB menu, you have the option of displaying the installation
process to a VGA connection (video port) as shown here:
