Steps:
0) need to install Solaris at first from serial console
1) then install RSC package:
#/usr/sbin/pkgadd -d rsc2.2.3_package_s9.zip
3) config rsc console
#/usr/platform/`uname -i`/rsc/rsc-config
setup V890 net mgt port
network IP: 100.100.100.10
netmask: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 100.100.100.1
4) redirect console
from ok
ok> setenv diag-out-console true (default – false)
ok> setenv input-device rsc-console (default keyboard)
ok> setenv output-device rsc-console (default screen)
or from solaris
#eeprom diag-out-console=true
#eeprom input-device=rsc-console
#eeprom output-device=rsc-console
#init 6
then you have 2 RSC console ports:
1) net mgt port
using crossover cable from laptop to V890
2) serial port
using RJ45 network cable with DB25/DE9 adaptor
switch RSC console and system
1) from system to console
~.
2) from console to system
rsc>console

Remote System Control (RSC) V2.2.3 for Solaris/SPARC Installation Guide
• Download the RSC software from www.sun.com download center and FTP over to the server in, for example, directory /var/rsc. The current version of Remote System Control V2.2.3. For Solaris 9 and later, the file to download is rsc2.2.3_packages_s9.zip. For Solaris 8 and earlier the file is rsc2.2.3_packages_s8.zip. This version provides support for the following platforms: Enterprise 250, Sun Fire 280R, Sun Fire V880, Sun Fire V480, Sun Fire V890, Sun Fire V490.
• Login as root, type the following command to extract the Sun packages from the zip file:
# cd /var/rsc
# /usr/bin/unzip rsc2.2.3_packages_s9.zip
(for Solaris 9 and later)
# /usr/bin/unzip rsc2.2.3_packages_s8.zip
(for Solaris 8 and earlier)
• Type the following command to install the Solaris packages using the pkgadd command:
# /usr/sbin/pkgadd -d .
You should install the base Solaris packages and the localization packages for any locales supported on your system.
• When you have completed the installation, you will find the RSC user manual user_guide.pdf in PDF format in the directory /opt/rsc/doc/en/pdf.
• Run the Server Configuration Script. After you have responded to all configurations setting prompts and confirmed your choices, the configuration procedure updates the RSC flash PROM. After setting up RSC as you specified, the configuration procedure prompts you for the password for the user account, if you chose to create a user account. Then it prompts you to repeat the password. Finally, the procedure asks if you want to reset RSC. A reset is required before Ethernet configuration takes effect. This completes RSC server software configuration.

• Redirect the Console to RSC. After RSC software is installed and configured, the system console is still available as on any normal Sun machine. To enable RSC as the system console device instead, you must access the server console, shut down the system, and type the following commands at the ok prompt:
# init 0
ok diag-console rsc
ok setenv input-device rsc-console
ok setenv output-device rsc-console
ok reset-all
Note – For Sun Enterprise 250 servers, use the following commands at the ok prompt: diag-output-to rsc, setenv input-device rsc, setenv outputdevice rsc. Also, use diag-output-to ttya in the next example below.
At any time, you can use the following command to remove RSC as the default console:
ok diag-console ttya
If your server has a keyboard and monitor, you also need to type the following commands after removing RSC as the default console:
ok setenv input-device keyboard
ok setenv output-device screen
• After the server reset, you can login through RSC console. Use Telnet connect to IP 192.168.2.44.
