so what is the reason to connect to the serial port if you already have console access with the monitor and the keyboard?
anyways, new solaris servers used to ship with silver-colored null modem adapters so you may see them around if you folks got the servers new ... if you do not see any of them and you cannot find a null modem, you can change the pinouts on a serial adapter to make your own null modem ... see the diagrams
here for guidance on the pinouts ...

Hi,
I'm running Solaris 10 with a zone called "testzone"
If I do a "reboot -d" on the host, as expected the kernet panics, reboots and creates a crash dump file in /var/crash
However no crash file is created in testzone.
My question is how can I tell if a zone crashs or shuts down... (4 Replies)

sredird
sredird(8) sredird sredird(8)
NAME
sredird - RFC 2217 serial port server
SYNOPSIS
sredird [-i] log-level serial-device lock-file [poll-interval]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the sredird, program.
This program when run through inetd will use the RFC 2217 extensions to TELNET to implement serial commands over the TCP connection and
interface to a specified serial port.
OPTIONS
An optional first parameter is '-i' to enable compatability with Cisco IOS.
The first mandatory parameter is the log level for use in syslog. The next mandatory parameter is the device node for the serial device,
it must be a fully qualified path. The final mandatory parameter is the file name for the lock file to be used to prevent multiple
instances of sredird from talking to the serial port at the same time, or to allow sharing a port between modem and sredird.
EXAMPLE
Here is a configuration line for running it from inetd: sredir stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/sredird 5
/dev/modem /var/lock/LCK..modem
