Goal

Describe the process for navigating between the OS level and the RSC card level using tip (serial) or telnet (ethernet) sessions on the Sun Fire[TM] 280R, V480, and V880 Server products.

Solution

There are two methods to switch from the OS level to the RSC card. Choose the appropriate method depending on how you are connected to the RSC card.

Navigating between RSC and the OS using telnet

Execute the following command from the OS level:      ~.
This will return the console to the rsc> prompt

To resume your connection with the OS type "console" at the rsc> prompt.

Navigating between RSC and the OS using tip

Execute the following command:       ~~.
You may have to run the command 1-2 times before the console will return to the rsc> prompt.

To resume your connection with the OS type "console" at the rsc> prompt.

Executing the command ~. will disconnect the tip session with the RSC card.

If the escape character ~ does not work

If the escape character ~ fails to return the console session to the rsc> prompt, run the following command:

The escape character is ~ by default, but can be user defined. To return to the rsc> prompt, type the escape_char followed by a period (.). In this example, you would type *.  or  ~*. to return to the rsc> prompt.

How to clear open console sessions

If the console is busy, run either of the following commands to reset the console and clear any open sessions:

From the rsc prompt:

From the OS:
