enabled by default. If you perform an unattended network installation, you can enable VNC by
adding display=vnc as a boot argument.

To Establish Connection Using a VNC Viewer

Follow these steps to establish a connection using a VNC viewer.

Set a password as shown in

“Set Up Passwords for Root and Virtual Access”on page 55

Press the Esc key shortly after the SIA splash screen appears.

Console messages appear. After the VNC server has started, a message appears providing the IP
address to connect using VNC.

Connect to the VNC viewer using the IP address displayed in Step 2.

For example:

# vncviewer IP_address:1.0

When prompted, enter the password that you set in Step 1 and VNC starts.

The installer interface appears when performing a manual installation. The screens
automatically move forward as the installation progresses. The VNC screens are active for input
and you will disrupt the installation if you do anything in the VNC window.

Using a Serial Console

You can redirect the system console to a workstation or laptop to connected to the server's serial
management port to view an unattended installation.

This is helpful when debugging and you want to be able to scroll back to see messages. This will
disable output to the VGA console.
