Setting Up the Remote Console C
Overview C This section describes how to redirect the remote console port on the
new HA server using the
Solaris
software package
.
Remote access is
required for both the primary and secondary servers. Redirecting the
console allows the TSC to dial in and do remote maintenance.
Since the X.25 communications protocol is not supported on HA
systems, either port can be used for the remote console. However, the
standard provisioning convention is to use Port A for Enterprise 3000 and
3500 platforms and Port B for Ultra 5 platforms.
