At work we have a Sun SunFire V490 test machine (with dev/production coming late summer). I'd like to access the console (e.g. for boot PROM access) remotely via network. Is there a built-in way to do that, similar to HP's iLO (integrated Lights-Out) management port? Or do I need some kind of serial->LAN adapter? Or just set up a PC running Linux beside it? :-) We've got lots of those kicking around!
Some Sun machines ( Including the V490 ) have RSC built-in.

The V490 server must have an RSC Cards installed and configure you would be able to connect remotely.
