It currently has a graphical console /keyboard/mouse. I have connected a serial console to the system. I can login to the serial console but it does not act as the console. How can I make the serial port the system console and remove the graphical console?
Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionIf you don't want to remove the graphical screen, use the consvar command.
From the top of my head:
# consvar -s console serial
(But check that before you try it, because I have no tru64 box at hands right now.)

Re: serial console vs. graphical console
what do you mean by not act as console?
Disconnect mouse and keyboard. This should switch to serial.
greetings,
Michael

Re: serial console vs. graphical console
The console variable, once set to serial will not revert to graphics upon reboot.
You will have to do this.

Re: serial console vs. graphical console
yes, you can unplug them both without crashing the machine.
greetings,
Michael
ps. does the Sun have also two different console types? It sounds a little stupid to me to crash a machine because of that.
