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,

Hi,
We have a 4 port Sun gigaswift NIC card on our sun fire server.
If the card is a physical one I know how to check the settings/speed. But since this is a virtual card with 4 ports , I am not sure as how we can check the settings.
