Cluster Control Panel Support for Sun Fire Servers

If you intend to use Cluster Control Panel software tools, such as cconsole, to connect to a Sun Fire system, use the following instruction to create the /etc/serialports file on your administrative console. This instruction replaces Step 8 of the procedure "How to Install Cluster Control Panel Software on the Administrative Console" in the Sun Cluster 3.0 U1 Installation Guide.

8. Create an /etc/serialports file.

Add an entry for each node in the cluster to the file. Specify the physical node name, the terminal concentrator (TC), System Service Processor (SSP), or Sun Fire system controller hostname, and the port number.

• For the Sun Fire 15K system controller, use the telnet(1) port number 23 for the serial port number of each entry.

• For all other servers, use the telnet(1) serial port number, not the physical port number. To determine the serial port number, add 5000 to the physical port number. For example, if a physical port number is 6, the serial port number should be 5006.

• For Sun Enterprise E10000 servers, also see the /opt/SUNWcluster/bin/serialports(4) man page for details and special considerations.
