PRIMESTATION as LAN Console
Operating the LAN Console
On the basis of configuration entries for the LAN Console,
xscon
enables one or
more RM and PRIMEPOWER (MR) servers to be selected that are to be repre-
sented on the LAN Console. The names of the selectable systems are the
console names that were specified in the
mklancon
script when the configuration
entries were created.
The
xscon
user interface can also be chosen via the Solaris Common Desktop
Environment where there is a corresponding entry in the Application Manager.
The connection is established basically in the same way as for
cu(1)
.
If the connection is set up via an RCA4 with an active access check, a user
name and password must be entered (see “Configuring the RCA” on page 47).
Press the
{Ctrl}
and “]” in the opened console window to access the command
interface (CLI - Command Line Interface) of the RCA4 (settings see “Config-
uring the RCA” on page 47). By now entering the command
port history
the
output can be exported.
A hardware break (
break
) can be sent to a PRIMEPOWER (MR) system via the
command
send break
. For this, the
abort sequenze
on the target system must be
set to „enabled“. This corresponds to the default setting of the target system, but
can also be set with the help of the command
kbd -a enable
or by modification of the file
etc/default/kbd
.
After execution of the
send break
command you get to the OBP of the target
system on entering the command
resume
(see section below “RCA commands”).
The connection is cleared down via the “~.” string.

The RCA4 can be administered with
xscon
using the configuration entry
<RCA SystemName>adm
(see “mkrca - Address the RCA” on page 51 and
xscon – mapping consoles
Prerequisites for using
xscon
:

xscon
can be called by root only.
The RCA must have been configured with the aid of the
mkrca
command.
