[OpenIndiana-discuss] console local and via SOL

[Predrag Zecevic [Unix Systems Administrator]]

Hi,

I guess you should try to connect to local console even it it is redirected to serial (I guess if you enable VT, you SHOULD be able 
to use it).

Also check:
a) http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/4.6+Remote+Console
b) if VT is/are enabled (on my OI box):
$ svcs -a | grep vt
online         Jan_12   svc:/system/vtdaemon:default
online         Jan_12   svc:/system/console-login:vt3
online         Jan_12   svc:/system/console-login:vt5
online         Jan_12   svc:/system/console-login:vt6
online         Jan_12   svc:/system/console-login:vt4
online         Jan_12   svc:/system/console-login:vt2

Regards.
