NAME

netcon_server- network console server daemon

SYNOPSIS

netcon_server [-S] -p boot_proc
netcon_server [-S] -r

CAUTION

This daemon is executed by bringup(1M). Do not execute it on the command line.

DESCRIPTION

netcon_server manages communications between the various SSP Console Windows (also called netcon-connect sessions) and the specified boot processor of the corresponding domains specified by each SSP Window's SUNW_HOSTNAME environment variable.

When the domain is up, netcon_server acts as a relay between the various Domain Console Windows and the cvcd(1M) daemon running on the domain side. When the domain is down, it is a relay between the Domain Console Windows and OBP.

netcon_server behaves like a daemon; it spawns a copy of itself and the parent process exits, effectively disconnecting itself from the controlling terminal.

OPTIONS

The following options are supported:

-S

Suspend netcon session logging if syslogd's local1 facility is enabled in /etc/syslog.conf.

-p boot_proc

Use the specified boot processor.

-r

Restart netcon_server, obtaining the domain boot processor from the snmpd(1M) daemon. Execute netcon_server -r only when netcon_server has died and the host is either up or at the OBP prompt.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

The environment variable SUNW_HOSTNAME must be set to the name of the domain.
