Console dies on an E5000

2007-12-25 10:24:00

Concensus was to switch the system key to SECURE, so that when the

console dies, it does NOT take the system with it.

I was more worried about the terminal and the strange prompts, but,

you're right, the machine is more important.

P.S. I've tried the 'correct' channels with no success - does anyone

have any info on a Hitachi CDR-1700S CDROM, such as cabling specs and

dipswitch settings?

Hi, this has happened twice in the past week. Our console terminal

(Wyse) on our E5000 (Solaris 2.5.1) appears dead during our morning

checks. In this case, our normal routine is to power the terminal off,

then type "go" at the prom prompt. Sometimes typing "go" just gives you

another prompt, then typing "go" again resumes system operation.

However, on two recent occasions, when the terminal was restarted, there

was either NO prompt, or there was a weird prompt today of "2]". Having

interrupted the processor, and having no way to reconnect, the entire

system was restarted.

We tried to attach another terminal to eliminate that possibility, same

result.

Questions: What could be causing our faulty console connections, and

when you lose connection to the system through the console, are there

any options apart from a system restart?

Thanks for any advice
