Applies to:Sun Fire 12K ServerSun Fire 15K Server Sun Fire E20K Server Sun Fire E25K Server All Platforms SymptomsFrom one System Controller (SC), a user issues the command smsconnectsc in order to obtain console access to the other SC. The command errors as shown below:sc0:sms-svc> smsconnectsc CauseFrom the smsconnectsc man page:smsconnectsc enables the bit that connects the local SC'sThis means that the SC you are issuing the command from uses it's port B to connect to the remote port A. There is only one allowable console connection of this type allowed. The man page continues to state: smsconnectsc works in the absence of an external connectionNot stated in the man page is that multiple smsconnectsc connections will also fail (although this information should be intuitive). Since only a single pathway of local port B to remote port A exists, there can only be one console session to an SC active at a single time. So an SC can have either a single active remote console connection via the external serial port, or a single active internal smsconnectsc connection. SolutionFrom the SC which got the "Unable to obtain a lock." error, do the following:sc0:sms-svc> ps -ef | grep smsconnectsc sms-svc 5314 5271 0 16:59:04 pts/5 0:00 smsconnectsc If there is an smsconnectsc process, try using that console connection if possible. If for some reason that console connection is unusable, try exiting it gracefully by entering ~. in the smsconnectsc session. If it is not possible to exit that connection gracefully kill the process and retry the smsconnectsc again. If no such process currently exists, an external serial port console connection must exist. If so try to use that connection if possible, or exit that session to allow the ports to be free to smsconnectsc.
