Chapter 3: Setting Up the EF2915 Series System
Cable Connections
Serial Port Connection and Configuration
You can monitor EF2915 status by using an external terminal attached to the 9-pin, female
RS-232C serial port connector. There is a serial port connector on each of the two storage
controllers in the enclosure. The controllers can be individually monitored by connecting
to the ports. This connection is always available no matter which host interface you have
ordered. The serial port enables you to connect through a serial ASCII terminal or host
emulator such as the UNIX
cu
utility running on an administration workstation.
Default Configuration
Table 3-3
lists the default settings for the serial port on the EF2915. These values cannot
be changed. Change the settings on the PC, workstation, or host to match the EF2915
settings.
Note:
The Tx and Rx must be double-crossed or a special null-modem cable must be
used (the EF2915 serial port is a null connector).
Use a null-modem cable to connect to the system’s serial port. A null-modem cable
connects the Transmitted Data (TD pin 2) on one RS-232 interface to the Received Data
(RD pin 3) on the other RS-232 interface.
Configuring a Solaris Host for the Serial Port
If you are attaching a Solaris host to the system’s serial port, use the
cu
utility to
communicate with the EF2915.
Note:
Before you begin this procedure, make sure you have connected the EF2915 using
host port
b
. A Solaris host normally has two serial ports:
a
and
b
. It is recommended that
you use port
b
.
Use the following steps to communicate with the EF2915.
1
Gain super-user privilege.
2
Use the
admintool
:

window.
