4.3.3 Establishing Connection with a SPARC System
To set up your SPARC system for connection to the 410 controller, follow these steps:
1. Use a serial cable to connect the serial port on the SPARC system to the serial port
on the RAID array controller.
2. If you use a SUN A/B Serial Splitter Cable, you may need to modify the remote file
to specify the A-port as follows:
Open the file
/etc/remote
with an editor.
Locate the lines:
hardwire:\
:dv=/dev/ttyb:br#9600
Change
ttyb
to
ttya
.
Save the file.
To specify the B-port:
Open the file
/etc/remote
with an editor.
Locate the lines:
hardwirea:\
:dv=/dev/ttyb:br#9600
Change
ttyb
to
ttya
.
Save the file.
3. Open
a
terminal window from the Desktop Program menu.
4. Start the Terminal Interface Program (TIP), at the prompt type:
tip hardwire
and press the Enter key.
5. Press the Enter key again and the CLI prompt appears in the window similar to the
following:
swxrc>
You now have a tip connection to the controller, which may be closed by entering “
~.
”.
