Have you looked into using screen for this?

man screen

on console #1, type screen, load an app, whichever you want. Then press Ctrl-A and hit the d key.
this will detach you from the screen, placing you back on the console.

type screen -list, to see the detached screens. you can have many, note the number.
type screen -R <screen number> to reattach.

can name the screens, send commands, and more.

Now, once the screen is detached, you can ssh into the the box running console 1 (with screen), from console 2, and load that screen onto console 2. Picking right up where you left off at.

LEARN ABOUT SUNOS

cvc

cvc(7D) 							      Devices								   cvc(7D)

NAME

       cvc - virtual console driver

DESCRIPTION

       The  cvc  virtual  console  driver  is a STREAMS-based pseudo driver that supports the network console. The cvc driver interfaces with con-
       sole(7D).

       Logically, the  cvc driver sits below the  console driver. It redirects console output to the cvcredir(7D) driver if a network console con-
       nection is active. If a network console connection is not active, it redirects console output to an internal hardware interface.

       The cvc driver receives console input from  cvcredir and internal hardware and passes it to the process associated with /dev/console.

NOTES

       The   cvc facility supersedes the SunOS wscons(7D) facility, which should  not be used in conjunction with  cvc. The  wscons driver is use-
       ful for systems with directly attached consoles (frame buffers and keyboards), but is not useful with platforms using cvc,  which  have	no
       local keyboard or frame buffer.
