need AIX console cable
Hello ... I am newbie and will be very grateful for any help. I need a serial console cable for my AIX boxes (seems we have lost the one we had!). However I am confused about the one one to order - UK based if possible. I wonder if anyone can point me at a specific one or the exact spec i need to get?

many thanks!

edit by bakunin: Please post original questions in your own thread instead of hijacking someone elses who has a different question answered. Secondly, if you whould have read the thread you have posted to before i moved your post here you would already know which cable to use. You can buy a crossed-out serial cable (aka "Null-Modem-cable") in every electronics shop.

systemd-getty-generator

SYSTEMD-GETTY-GENERATOR(8)				      systemd-getty-generator					SYSTEMD-GETTY-GENERATOR(8)

NAME

       systemd-getty-generator - Generator for enabling getty instances on the console

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-getty-generator

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-getty-generator is a generator that automatically instantiates serial-getty@.service on the kernel console /dev/console if that is
       not directed to the virtual console subsystem. It will also instantiate serial-getty@.service instances for virtualizer consoles, if
       execution in a virtualized environment is detected. This should ensure that the user is shown a login prompt at the right place, regardless
       of which environment the system is started in. For example, it is sufficient to redirect the kernel console with a kernel command line
       argument such as console= to get both kernel messages and a getty prompt on a serial TTY. See kernel-parameters.txt[1] for more information
       on the console= kernel parameter.

       systemd-getty-generator implements the generator specification[2].

       Further information about configuration of gettys you may find in systemd for Administrators, Part XVI: Gettys on Serial Consoles (and
       Elsewhere)[3].
