Sun Enterprise 250 Server
 

GCS>Sun Microsystems>Servers>Entry-Level Servers
 

RSC allows a remote user to control a E250 server
in ways that were previously only possible when physically at the server
(console access, power on/off, reset, bootmode). It logs information to
facilitate diagnosing a E250 server. It will alert an administrator when it
detects certain events, such as host resets and critical environmental status,
via an alphanumeric pager and/or an email message.
Considerations:
1. The E250 must have the Boot PROM firmware at 3.7.7 minimum. Patch ID
106503-xx. Instruction are included in the README file for downloading
the firmware.
2. There is firmware that gets loaded into the RSC PROM during installation of
the RSC Software.
3. The remote system that will run the RSC GUI must have JDK (Java SE 6 Development Kit[TM]) 1.1.6 or later installed on it.
4. RSC is only supported on ethernet at FCS.
5. Here are the document numbers for the User and Installation guides:
	Sun Remote System Control (RSC) Installation Guide 805-5680-11
	Sun Remote System Control (RSC) User's Guide 805-3722-11
6. The software can be pulled from the web at the following site:
	http://www.sun.com/servers/entry/250/
Installing the RSC GUI side:
1. Install the JDK 1.1.6 or later packages (SUNWjvman & SUNWjvrt).
2. Run the "RSC.sh" script to install the SUNWrscj package. (Option 2)
Installing the RSC Server (E250) side:
1. Run the "RSC.sh" script to install the SUNWrscj package. (Option 1)
2. Run the following command to config RSC on the E250:
	/usr/platform/sun4u/sbin/rsc-config
