Question: --------- I'm pretty sure I know the answer to these questions, but I wanted to verify it. It never hurts. My client has a V880 and has requested that I configure the Sun RSC (remote system console) port on it. My questions are; are they any difficulties with it, or is it a pretty straightforward task? It looks fairly easy, but wanted to hear from someone who has done it. Also, if I do enable the RSC, will this now disable his ability to use the graphical Sun console that is attached physically to the server? I believe the answer is yes, but just checking. Thanks for the help. Answer: ------- It is a pretty straightforward task. RTFM is pretty much it. There is some software, and some OBP variables to change. You can only have one true console that displays error messages, and gives you access to the OBP "ok" prompt. Either that is a console terminal, or via the RSC card. However, if you do use the RSC card as the console, you can still have a graphical unit attached, to be used as a terminal/x-server but it won't be a true "console". A warning though, that your switch has to be set to 10/Half. Auto-Neg does not work too well as mentioned by most people. Also, be sure the key position is not in the lock position when trying to write the configuration to the card.
