Powering on the servers

Procedure 29 Powering on the servers

At the server,

Turn power on to the server.

If the system boots up, log into the server as root.

Type init 0 [Enter].

This will bring you to the boot (>ok) prompt. If the system does
not have Solaris installed, it will power up to the >ok prompt. You
may have to send a break to get the >ok prompt. The servers will
more than likely boot up to a Solaris System Identification
screen. Do not answer those questions. Send a break to get to
the >ok prompt so you can then boot from the CD-ROM.

Procedure 30 Power on to get the >ok prompt

At the management pc,

If you are using PuTTY, click the program icon in the upper left
PuTTY title bar to access PuTTY’s pull-down menu.

Mouse over the telnet command menu item to access additional
drop-down menu options.

Select Break to send the break command from the PuTTY
session.

ATTENTION

Do not have any bootp servers on the same subnet of the system.
If there is such a server, disconnect the LAN interface cable from
the system subnet.
