Hi Gurus
Is their something special about the serial port on a
Sun Fire 280R? I am trying to install APC PowerChute
software and step one is to disable the serial port. I
used admintool to disable serial port ttya on our Sun
Fire 280R. The serial port is disabled, and set to
these options, Initialize Only, Software Carrier and
created utmp Entry. This setup is the same as our
E250 which is working. When I installed the software
I received the below message
WARNING: Could not communicate with device on
/dev/ttya.
Check that the communications cable is attached
properly to both the device
and the serial port.
?----------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Though the PowerChute Plus for UNIX installation
is complete, if you
quit before verifying communications, the application
may not work properly
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you wish to Exit or Retry communications? [R/E]
I have tried everything I know
Also, now when I boot the system with the cable
connect to the UPS, it appears to come up, however I
nothing appears on my console. Which is part of a KVM
switch, but that should matter. I must have changed
something as it booted fine with the cable connected
when I installed the software.
I have searched the archives, google and also opened a
ticket with APC but still can't seem to get this to
work.
Any help would be appreciated and I will summarize
Thanks in advance
