How to make Serial Connection to Isilon Node

First connect you laptop to Serial port (DB9 Connector) on Isilon Node using USB-to-Serial converter.

On the local computer, launch a serial terminal emulator, such as PuTTY. Configure the terminal emulator utility to use the following settings:
• Transfer rate = 115,200 bps
• Data bits = 8
• Parity = none
• Stop bits = 1
• Flow control = hardware

Either a command prompt or a Configuration Wizard prompt will appear. The command prompt displays the cluster name, a dash (-), a node number, and either an hash (# ) symbol or a percent (%) sign. If you log in as the root user, it will be a # symbol. If you log in as another user, it will be a % symbol. For example, Cluster-1# or Cluster-1%.
