Console Operations for the Solaris OS and OpenBoot Firmware on Sun CMT SPARC Platform
Read about the system console operations available to the traditional system console input and output devices in a domain for chip multithreading (CMT) SPARC platforms.

if there is a power failure, automatically:
write all operations in a log file (0 Replies)
show /HOST command shows that
status = OpenBoot Running
when in this state, can the power be unplugged from the server ?
we are unable to bring the status to "powered off". Even if we issue "stop /SYS" it will momentarily be in the powered off status and then go back to power on... (1 Reply)
Hello Team,

Hi:
I bougth an used Sun Fire v440, and It have a firmware password. When I turn on the server, it ask for firmware password. (I don 't know what is the correct password). I can access to SC, but when I want to access to OBP, Firmware Password appears again. I remove the battery for two hours,... (1 Reply)
So in the group of boxes I've inherited, I have one that has a firmware password. I do not know the root password of the machine nor the firmware password. I've tried several things already, such as: removing BIOS battery, double tap the power switch, and several variants of the STOP-A on a PC... (2 Replies)
Hi,

ttymux - Serial I/O multiplexing STREAMS device driver
SYNOPSIS
multiplexer@0,0:input
multiplexer@0,0:output
DESCRIPTION
ttymux is a STREAMS multiplexer driver that connects multiple serial devices to the system console. Using this driver, input from multiple
physical devices can be multiplexed onto a single input stream for the system console. Output written to the console can be distributed to
multiple physical devices to provide redundant console interfaces to a system. Input and output can be multiplexed to or from a separate
list of devices.
ttymux is a STREAM's multiplexer for serial drivers (such as se(7D)) that comply with the Solaris terminal subsystem interface.
Currently, multiplexer interfaces are provided for system console I/O only and not for general serial I/O multiplexing. Multiplexer inter-
faces are currently not available for all platforms. Please see NOTES.

NOTES
Successful loading of this driver and its services depends on the EEPROM or NVRAM settings in effect at the most recent system reboot.
Without the platform firmware support, this feature cannot be enabled. Currently, this support is provided only on a NetraCT product fam-
ily.
Use caution when enabling this feature to perform console input multiplexing, particularly during super-user login. Because no security
measures are enabled when the driver is in operation, you must clearly understand the security implications involved in using this feature
and take appropriate measures to provide maximum protection to the host. This can include such steps as enabling input to physically
secured console devices only.
The ttymux driver does not handle the behavioral differences in control characteristics of different terminal types (for example, an ESCAPE
sequence.) As a result, multiple terminal types are not supported simultaneously. Please refer to the platform user guide for more informa-
tion.
