I'm running Solaris 9 on a Sun v240 box. When I plug into serial mgt port shown here (
http://docs.sun.com/source/819-4208-...n_intro-13.gif) as soon as I plug into that port and run hyperterm it shuts down my network interface bge0 so I can't telnet/ping/login etc.... I then have to from the ok prompt (in hyperterm) issue the boot command to restart the server then the interface comes back up and all is well. I've never seen this before and I'm not sure the link that was given above has to do with what im asking. Is this some kind of power management thing? I don't really think i have any broken hardware just some wacky config or something.
Oh and the part of the reason why i can't plumb and such is there isn't a video or keyboard port so if i don't have ssh then its console or nothing.
I probably should have posted this in the network section instead of this one sorry about that... UGH!
