Re: HP-UX 9000/800 Console Devise
if you are looking for similar functionality, i.e., console concentration, check out cyclades.com (now part of avocent) website for detailed analysis of such devices. We replaced our deprecated console solution with cyclades console servers and they work great.

Re: HP-UX 9000/800 Console Devise
I see they have a CMM Comsole Manager for connecting over IP. Is that what you have. I'm in a remote branch and the UNIX box is in corporate. It would be nice to have a console sittting on my desk. All this is very preliminary right now. Anyone have any price ranges on this sort of equipment?
Thanks Again.
Chuck

Re: HP-UX 9000/800 Console Devise
( here is one from ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=9739350912&category=11175 ) They are a little cumbersone to configure but if they lock up, all you need to do is to ask someone to unplug the power cord and plug it back in after few seconds.
The cyclades servers are quite pricey. New ones, on the lower end, pricing starts around $3000 if I am not mistaken. So, it is not feasible for a handful of servers. It is more for datacenters with hundred or more servers.
Hope this helps

Re: HP-UX 9000/800 Console Devise
Almost all use an imbedded Linux OS with both network access (telnet or SSH) as well as a serial console and even a backup modem. A lot of network admins are helpless if they can't talk to their firewall over the network, yet there a perfectly good serial port that cold be used. Naturally, the network for these port concetrators must be isolated both for security but also for reliability and fallback remote access (ie, modem).
The most popular manufacturers are:
Avocent
Cyclades
Digi International
Lantronix
Logical Solutions
MRV Communications
Raritan Computer
Almost all of these companies have KVM switches too so be sure you are looking at RS-232 serial port concentrators. Every data center should invest in these extremely important connection boxes. There are indispensible for remote system management.

Hi Chuck,
Better to go for LAN console or Web console for having remote console access for hp-ux boxes.
