These servers include the following models: SunFire[TM] 3800, 4800, 4810, E4900, 6800, E6900, V1280 and E2900. SolutionSteps to Follow Steps to Follow The SunFire High and MidRange Server products utilize a special console device called /sgcn. This device setting is used for the "input-device" and "output- device" to direct the console output. The SunFire High and MidRange Server platforms have a System Controller,(SC) which provides a single serial interface to access the platform shell and each configured domain, (Solaris instance). The SGCN interface was introduced to allow connection between the System Controller Serial interface and the virtual console of each domain. The SunFire High and MidRange Servers systems do not employ a traditional serial interface, (ttya/ttyb), to the domains. The SGCN device allows domains to be administered via the System Controller (SC). If the /sgcn device is not used for input and output device settings, and error will register on the console upon boot: install-console ERROR: no such device, LED write value = 0 x 4, 4 Product Sun Fire 3800 Server Sun Fire 6800 Server Sun Fire E2900 Server Sun Fire V1280 Server Sun Fire E6900 Server Sun Fire E4900 Server Sun Fire 4810 Server Sun Fire 4800 Server serengetti, console, ttya, sgcn, /sgcn, system controller, SC Previously Published As 86846 Attachments This solution has no attachment |
