Table 2-1 lists the terminals and consoles for the serial connection and the available functions.
Terminal Type | Work | Cable |
---|---|---|
XSCF shell terminal | - You can use the XSCF shell terminal immediately after connecting it to the serial port. - You can switch the window to the control domain console by using the console command. - After you log in, if the XSCF shell is left unused for a specific duration, you are forcibly logged out. For details of the XSCF session timeout setting, see the setautologout(8) command man page or the Fujitsu SPARC M12 and Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 XSCF Reference Manual. |
An RS-232C serial cross cable is required. If you have only a LAN cable, a 9-pin conversion cable on the PC side is required. |
Control domain console (RW console) | - This OS console can be used for input/output. Using the console command from the XSCF shell terminal, you can open the RW console by specifying the physical partition and the write-enabled console. - In one physical partition, only one user (one connection) can use the RW console at a time. - For details on the time setting for the session timeout when the control domain console is left unused, see the ttymon explanation in the reference manual of Oracle Solaris. |
|
Control domain console (RO console) | - This OS console is a reference-only console. Using the console command from the XSCF shell terminal, you can open the RO console by specifying the physical partition and the reference-only console. |
The maximum number of allowed concurrent connections to the RW console and RO console is as follows:
- SPARC M12-1/M10-1: 20 consoles
- SPARC M12-2/M10-4: 40 consoles
- SPARC M12-2S/M10-4S (no crossbar box): 40 consoles
- SPARC M12-2S/M10-4S (with crossbar boxes): 70 consoles
