X2-4 and X3-2: start /SP/console -f not showing output

Hi all
I've successfully installed a couple of X3-2 and X2-4 servers at a customer site. I used the ILOM web interface to access the console whilst on site.
Now that I am not on site I need to use the ILOM cli method. The reason for this is because the bandwidth is too low to allow efficient use of the web interface.
I attempted to start the console session by typing: start /SP/console -f
I get the following output:
-> start /SP/console -f
Are you sure you want to start /SP/console (y/n)? y
Serial console started. To stop, type ESC (
No output is displayed after that until I stop/exit. I need to be able to work on the OS to make network changes so I cannot do it via ssh to the OS.
The OS version is:
Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 s10x_u10wos_17b X86
Assistance with this would be highly appreciated.
Regards
Dean

Hi.
/SP/console can work only at text mode, but when solaris start on x86 systems use graphics mode for output.
So you can use only WEB interface for redirections.
On support.oracle.com doc: ID 1325578.1 describe step by step procedure for
"Sun x64 Servers: How to change OS console login to output through ILOM's start /SP/console"
It just need run command "eeprom console=ttya" and reboot you system.
But after this you can't use general keyboard and monitor as console. Only /SP/console.
Regards.
