diag-output-torsc*|rsc-console**|ttya Directs POST output to either RSC (1) or ttya (0). This command takes effect after the next server reset. (E250 only)

diag-console rsc*|rsc-console**|ttya This command directs power-on self-test (POST) output to either RSC (1) or ttya (0). This command takes effect after the next server reset. (Not available for the E250)

rsc-mac-update Updates the RSC Ethernet address from the contents of the server ID PROM. Use this command after replacing the server NVRAM module. (E250 only)

.rsc Displays RSC information, including the diag-output-to setting and the RSC POST status word.

Available for Sun Enterprise 250 servers only. For other supported workgroup servers, you must set input-device and output-device to rsc-console rather than to rsc.

**For Sun Enterprise 250 servers, you must set input-device and output-device to rsc rather than to rsc-console.

OBP Environment Variable Properties:
