Chapter 1 Configuring the System Console 11
Note – When you access the ALOM system controller for the first time and you
issue an administrative command, you must create a password for the default
username, admin, for subsequent access. After this initial configuration, you will be
prompted to enter a user name and password every time you access the ALOM
system controller.
For more information about navigating between the system console and the ALOM
system controller, see “Obtaining the ok Prompt” on page 15
Access Through Multiple Controller Sessions
Up to nine ALOM system controller sessions can be active concurrently, one session
through the serial port and up to eight sessions through the network management
port. Users of each of these sessions can issue commands at the sc> prompt. For
more information, see the following:
■ “Accessing the System Controller” on page 3
■ “Activating the Network Management Port” on page 4
Note – Only one user has active control of the system console at any time. Any
additional ALOM system controller sessions afford passive views of system console
activity, until the active user of the system console logs out. However, the console
-f command enables users to seize access to the system console from one another.
For more information, see the Advanced Lights Out Management (ALOM) CMT v1.3
Guide.
