I posted this same thing to comp.sys.sun.admin, so if some of you see it
twice sorry... and I hope I've given enough info:
> Hi... I've get a v40z that I'd rather not have a monitor connected to (because of space issues). I've also got an console server (an SGI box) with a little 16-port mux connected to it that I have the consoles for many of our higher-end systems connected to it - ones that don't have a monitor.
>
> I can see the rear of the v40z that there's the two SP ethernet ports that I'm still trying to understand what they're about, and a serial port.
>
> What I'd like to do is use either one of those and connect it up to my 16-port mux to redirect the console output there. I'm already doing this with one Sun box - a sun fire v210 with no problems at all.
>
> The mux and the software running on the SGI console server allows me to have nice little windows on the system (that I can access remotely very easily) that gets logged to a file and works very well.
>
> I'm sure there's a way to redirect the output going to the vga output... which is what I assume I'll need to do to get this working.
>
> Oh, the v40z is running linux also, not solaris.
>
> I did some googling but couldn't find the answer... so thanks in advance to whoever helps!
