If the number displayed by the
uname -r
command is less than 5.0:
Check the
/etc/remote
file and add the following entry, if it does not already
exist.
Note –
If you intend to use the remote system’s serial port A rather than serial port
B, edit this entry by replacing
/dev/ttyb
with
/dev/ttya
.
The
/etc/remote
file is now properly configured. Continue establishing a TIP
connection to the server system console. See “TIP Connection Between a Server and
Another Sun System” on page 11 .
If you have redirected the system console to TTYB and want to change the system
console settings back to use the serial management and network management ports,
see
“System Console OpenBoot Configuration Variable Settings” on page 23 .

the server.

Connect this cable to the terminal’s serial port connector.
2. Attach the opposite end of the serial cable to the serial management port on your
server.
3. Connect the alphanumeric terminal’s power cord to an AC outlet.
