I had a machine that made a lot of noise, so I didn't really want to sit too close to it.
It got moved to a distant room and placed next to another machine, and that when I learned that the built in OutOfBand feature on that particular machine didn't include the normal console. But I knew there was a serial port on it, so from a machine next to it I could run a cable, now all I needed was to enable login on a serial console. It appears it takes a fair few commands on openindiana.
# svccfg -f - <<EOF
select svc:/system/console-login
add ttya
select svc:/system/console-login:ttya
addpg ttymon application
setprop ttymon/device = astring: /dev/term/a
setprop ttymon/label = astring: console
setprop ttymon/modules = astring: ldterm,ttcompat
setprop ttymon/nohangup = boolean: true
setprop ttymon/prompt = astring: "\`uname -n\` ttya login:"
addpg general framework
setprop general/enabled = boolean: true
EOF
