Hi,
Thank you very much for your help. I have gone through the doc. my system is not showing the driver ptym or ptys. Please let me know how to install those files.

You need to increase the pseudo tty's on your system. By default the driver is installed, but what it looks like is you've run out of resources. This is how I would fix this.

# cd /stand/build
# /usr/lbin/sysadm/system_prep -s system
# vi system
if not included add these items and values toward the bottom of the file.

npty 512
nstrtel 512
nstrpty 512

Save the file

# mk_kernel -s system (generates a new kernel)
# kmupdate
Reboot your system
# cd /
# shutdown -r -y now

After the reboot, run the following commands to generate the new pty's

# cd /dev
# insf â d pty â s 1024 â e â v
# insf â d ptm â s 1024 â e â v
# insf -d telm â s 1024 â e â v
# insf -d tels â s 1024 â e -v

I am assuming that the command

Hi Michael,
Thanx.
I have changed the kernel configuration. But as users are connected to the system I need some time to reboot the system. Can you please re-type the insf commands once more as those are not properly copied.

Thanx onec more.
