Operating Systems Solaris Rebooting Windows machine leads to continue sync reset on UNIX Post 302982596 by hicksd8 on Saturday 1st of October 2016 05:18:31 AM

@jasonu.......I've read your last post and I must admit that I'm scratching my head on this one. IF you are indeed connected to the console port, sending a break (no matter how you do it, on purpose or by accident) should not bring down an up and running Solaris at this point. You should be able to '(c) continue' and recover from the break signal. So I don't know how it's bringing down Solaris, if that's what you're saying and I don't have a SPARC system here right now to try it.

@Solaris experts on here.....anybody know how this could happen please???

What Sparc hardware is it exactly?

It's also occurred to me that after entering (c) to continue you might be left connected to the ILOM/ALOM with a 'ok' prompt depending on exactly which SPARC machine this is.

So do note that a console terminal can talk to either the ILOM or the console (ie, the running operating system) on request.

If the console terminal is talking to the ILOM ('ok' prompt) and you want to talk to the main OS enter the command:

Code:
ok> console

If the console terminal is talking to the OS (Solaris) and you want to talk to the ILOM enter:

Code:
#.

Do understand that the console terminal can talk to either on demand.

Just a thought. Do let us all know how you get on.
Also, does the change documented by MadeInGermany in his post not stop the 'break' occurring at all?

NAME
conspy - virtual console spy tool SYNOPSIS
conspy [ options ] [ console ] DESCRIPTION
Conspy allows the user to take control of a Linux virtual console. The user can see what is displayed on the console and their keystrokes are sent to it. To exit from conspy press the escape key three times in quick succession. COMMAND LINE
-V, --version Print the program's version and exit. -v, --viewonly Don't send keystrokes to the virtual console. console If supplied, console must be a number in the range 1 .. 63, corresponding to the virtual console device /dev/tty1 .. /dev/tty63. If not supplied the currently active virtual console is opened and tracked. LIMITATIONS
Conspy will not pass keystrokes to a virtual console whose keyboard is configured to send scan codes. X configures its keyboard like this. If the terminal does not have at least 64 colours no colour will be displayed. Conspy ignores the mouse. Conspy may display some non- ASCII characters incorrectly. Conspy does not handle displays larger than 16000 characters (eg 200 rows x 80 columns). Conspy depends on terminfo and curses working correctly for your terminal, and sometimes they don't. Konsole is/was one example of where they don't. Typing control-L will redraw the screen, which usually fixes the mess created. It also sends a control-L to the virtual con- sole, of course. FILES
/dev/ttyX, /dev/vc/X The characters typed are sent to this device. The latter is for devfs. It is only used if the former does not exist. /dev/vcsaX, /dev/vcc/aX The display of the virtual console is read from here. The latter is for devfs. It is only used if the former does not exist. AUTHOR
