Hi,
I have a few Sun Blade 150's that I want to connect to a
KVM switch, but am having problems.
I connect the Master View USB 2.0 KVM Switch (model: ACS-1724)
to the Sun Blade 150 and boot the Sun box. During the boot
phase I can see, on the monitor, the OpenBoot (version 4.6)
message:
keyboard not found.
keyboard not present. Using ttya for input and output.
and after that nothing more.
I haven't connected a serial line to the Sun Blade but assume
that input/output is, at this point, via the serial line. (If I
connect the Sun keyboard and mouse to the Sun Blade 150, boot
Solaris 8 then remove the keyboard and mouse and plug in
the KVM switch cable set I can use the USB KVM switch --
but this solution is less than optimal.)
I have found this URL
http://www.sun.com/io_technologies/usb.html
which lists the KVMs Sun has tested but I would like to
use the one I have, if I can.
I am guessing that I need some firmware settings to stop
the Sun Blades default behaviour but haven't found any
reference that resembles what I want. If you can, please
*help* by sending your replies directly to me and I will
summarise back to the list.
Regards,
Dirk
