Solaris: Not able to access E2900 console
Hi,
I have a scheduled activity to reboot E2900 server. But suddenly I came to know that console ip is not pinging, not connecting via telnet, as it used to connect. I already checked with my onsite person and he changed cable, still no luck. Network person checked his switch, which is showing online. I think, it should have rsc card, but I do not see rscadm inside /usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/. Otherwise I could have done "rscadm resetrsc".
HTML Code:
root@ora_prod16:/# uname -a
SunOS ora_prod16 5.10 Generic_120011-14 sun4u sparc SUNW,Netra-T12
root@ora_prod16:/# prtdiag -v | head -3
System Configuration: Sun Microsystems sun4u Sun Fire E2900
System clock frequency: 150 MHZ
Memory size: 64GB
root@ora_prod16:/# ls -l /usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/
total 232

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 18880 Jan 24 2007 fruadm
-rwxr-sr-x 1 root sys 10024 Jan 24 2007 prtdiag

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 Nov 9 2007 wrsmconf -> ../../../../platform/sun4u/sbin/wrsmconf
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 27048 Jan 23 2005 wrsmstat
I am really not sure, if E2900 have rsc or sc console.
Can somebody suggest some help on this ?
Regards

Hi,
I wanted to know whether there is a setting in AIX to allow console login eventhough loginretries have already reached. What I mean is that loginretries applies to ssh/telnet connection but I can still login in console even after loginretries have been reached.

console
console(7D) Devices console(7D)
NAME
console - STREAMS-based console interface
SYNOPSIS
/dev/console
DESCRIPTION
The file /dev/console refers to the system console device. /dev/console should be used for interactive purposes only. Use of /dev/console
for logging purposes is discouraged; syslog(3C) or msglog(7D) should be used instead.
The identity of this device depends on the EEPROM or NVRAM settings in effect at the most recent system reboot; by default, it is the
``workstation console'' device consisting of the workstation keyboard and frame buffer acting in concert to emulate an ASCII terminal (see
wscons(7D)).
Regardless of the system configuration, the console device provides asynchronous serial driver semantics so that, in conjunction with the
STREAMS line discipline module ldterm(7M), it supports the termio(7I) terminal interface.
SEE ALSO
syslog(3C), termios(3C), ldterm(7M), termio(7I), msglog(7D), wscons(7D)
NOTES
In contrast to pre-SunOS 5.0 releases, it is no longer possible to redirect I/O intended for /dev/console to some other device. Instead,
redirection now applies to the workstation console device using a revised programming interface (see wscons(7D)). Since the system console
is normally configured to be the work station console, the overall effect is largely unchanged from previous releases.
See wscons(7D) for detailed descriptions of control sequence syntax, ANSI control functions, control character functions and escape
sequence functions.
