Operating Systems Solaris Supporting NIC speed Post 302741115 by rbatte1 on Friday 7th of December 2012 12:19:05 PM

So are the consoles cabled directly to each server or are they somehow pushed through a network, perhaps with a small box plugged in the console port and the network? I've seen HP servers like this ages ago.

I must admit that most of my servers are all virtual, so the supervising partition beastie (HMC or VIO for AIX) give you a virtual terminal, so that's not a worry. The nearest I get is for those servers that have a serial port only, but we have a Cyclades terminal server in place. It takes all the serial cables in centrally and we can connect by telnet to a specific port. I only have to ensure that the ethernet port on the Cyclades server is up to scratch.

Could you describe a bit more what you have for a typical server/console?




Thanks in advance,

NAME
cyclades-devices - tables for driving cyclades-serial-client DESCRIPTION
The cyclades-devices file supplies all mapping between Unix device files (/dev/*) and the addresses of serial ports of Cyclades Terminal Servers. It contains one entry for each serial port, with the following format: device:rastype:rasname:physport:type:options Note: A # character at beginning of line indicates a comment The entry fields are: devname - A full pathname of the file that will be associated to the serial port. It must start with a "/dev/" preffix. Two naming schemes may be used here: - devname does not exist, and will be linked to a free pseudo-tty. This is the default behavior of cyclades-ser- cli. - devname is the name of a valid slave pseudo-tty. In this case, the '-t 1' option must be assigned in options field. (Note: this option is not supported by this release). rastype - Terminal Server type: - prts, for Cyclades Pr302X/TS Terminal Servers. - path, for Cyclades PathRAS Terminal Server. rasname - Host Name or IP Address of the Terminal Server where the serial port resides. physport - Number of physical port in the Terminal Server. If treated as the IP address associated with this port, in a IP-based addressing scheme. type - Server type that will be contacted to handle the serial port: - rtelnet, for Remote Telnet Server - socket, for Socket Server options - Per-port specific options, passed to cyclades-ser-cli program. EXAMPLES
1. Device on a PR3020/TS Terminal Server pr3k Port 1, accessed through /dev/ctty01 device file name, using telnet protocol (remote telnet server) /dev/ctty01:prts:pr3k:1:rtelnet: 2. The same device, but with an IP address pr3k_port1 associated to the serial port (IP-based port addressing) /dev/ctty01:prts:pr3k_port1:0:rtelnet: 3. Device on a PathRAS Terminal Server pr3k Port 2, accessed through /dev/ctty02 device file name, using socket protocol (socket server) /dev/ctty02:path:pr3k:2:socket: FILES
