Operating Systems Solaris Can this be disabled? interface turned of when console cable plugged in. Post 302098091 by kingdbag on Thursday 30th of November 2006 12:17:41 PM
Old 11-30-2006
I'm running Solaris 9 on a Sun v240 box. When I plug into serial mgt port shown here (http://docs.sun.com/source/819-4208-...n_intro-13.gif) as soon as I plug into that port and run hyperterm it shuts down my network interface bge0 so I can't telnet/ping/login etc.... I then have to from the ok prompt (in hyperterm) issue the boot command to restart the server then the interface comes back up and all is well. I've never seen this before and I'm not sure the link that was given above has to do with what im asking. Is this some kind of power management thing? I don't really think i have any broken hardware just some wacky config or something.

Oh and the part of the reason why i can't plumb and such is there isn't a video or keyboard port so if i don't have ssh then its console or nothing.

I probably should have posted this in the network section instead of this one sorry about that... UGH!

FENCE_AGENT(8)						      System Manager's Manual						    FENCE_AGENT(8)

NAME
fence_brocade - Fence agent for HP Brocade over telnet/ssh DESCRIPTION
fence_brocade is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with Brocade FC switches. It logs into a Brocade switch via telnet and disables a specified port. Disabling the port which a machine is connected to effectively fences that machine. Lengthy telnet connections to the switch should be avoided while a GFS cluster is running because the connection will block any necessary fencing actions. After a fence operation has taken place the fenced machine can no longer connect to the Brocade FC switch. When the fenced machine is ready to be brought back into the GFS cluster (after reboot) the port on the Brocade FC switch needs to be enabled. This can be done by running fence_brocade and specifying the enable action fence_brocade accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin. Fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent. fence_brocade can be run by itself with command line options. This is useful for testing and for turning outlets on or off from scripts.
