Problem with Console Connection
I'm having a problem establishing a console connection between a V240 and a V440. I verified and re verified the connection was in the correct places.

Commands:
Code:
# tip hardwire
connected

Nothing happens after that. Other V440's work fine with the receiving the connection. Is there a setting within the OS that would prevent me from establishing a console connection?

do you use the correct port? is your config (/etc/remote) file for the "hardwire" connection configured correct?

I re re re verified it is in the correct ports. The /etc/remote file looks like this:

Code:
cuab:dv=/dev/cua/b:br#2400
dialup1|Dial-up system:\
        :pn=2015551212:tc=UNIX-2400:

VMS-300|TOPS20-300:\
        :el=^Z^U^C^S^Q^O:du:at=hayes:ie=$@:oe=^Z:br#300:tc=dialers:
VMS-1200|TOPS20-1200:\

dialers:\
        :dv=/dev/cua/b:

If you modify /etc/remote is there a reload command for it? Or do you have to reload the operating system?

try to use this:
Code:
hardwire:\
        :dv=/dev/term/a:br#9600:el=^C^S^Q^U^D:ie=%$:oe=^D:

after the change you don't need to reload any service... or reboot the server.
# 5  
Old 05-31-2010
Nope, that line did not work.

Code:
ls -latr /dev/term
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          48 Sep 15  2005 a -> ../../devices/pci@1e,600000/isa@7/serial@0,3f8:a
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          48 Sep 15  2005 b -> ../../devices/pci@1e,600000/isa@7/serial@0,2e8:b

a problem could also be the wrong cable...
# 7  
Old 06-04-2010
I just tried the a new cable. Still no go. Could two different servers with the same Serial Management PCI be set to use different cables?

is /etc/remote for outgoing or incoming?

Is it possible that the incoming server is set to use a different bit rate (other than 9600) Would all of this information be found in /etc/remote or would some of it be found somewhere else?


Thank you all for your help.
