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_sanbox2
FENCE_AGENT(8) System Manager's Manual FENCE_AGENT(8)
NAME
fence_sanbox2 - Fence agent for QLogic SANBox2 FC switches
DESCRIPTION
fence_sanbox2 is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with QLogic SANBox2 FC switches. It logs into a SANBox2 switch via telnet and dis-
ables 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.
fence_sanbox2 accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin. Fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent.
fence_sanbox2 can be run by itself with command line options. This is useful for testing and for turning outlets on or off from scripts.
