System Console Output Options
On your sever, the system console comes preconfigured to allow input and output
only by means of the ILOM service processor. In the default configuration, ILOM
alerts and system console output are interspersed in the same window.
You can separate the service processor system console output and the ILOM output
by opening an ILOM session in one window, then opening the system console
session in a second window. Or, you can redirect the system console to the graphics
frame buffer. For more information, see “Access the System Console Through a Local
Graphics Monitor” on page 6.
