Appendix F Configuring a Sun Server Running the Solaris Operating Environment F-3
F.3 Redefining the Baud Rate for the tip
Command
This section describes a method for using the Solaris operating environment’s tip
command to access the array. Before you can use the tip command, you must
redefine the baud rate. You can perform the following steps, or use the tip
command with the appropriate command arguments as described in “Using the tip
Command for Local Access to the Array” on page F-4.
The tip command uses the 9600 baud specified in the /etc/remote file on the
Solaris host by default. The serial port of the array requires 38,400 baud, so you must
edit the etc/remote file and revise your use of the tip command to use the 38,400
baud rate.
To edit the /etc/remote file for the 38,400 baud rate, perform the following steps:
1. In the /etc/remote file, copy and edit the hardwire line as follows:
Locate the line beginning with hardwire; for example:
Copy the hardwire line into a blank line below the hardwire line, rename the
hardwire term as ss3000 and replace #9600 with #38400. The edited line looks
like the following line:
2. Save the edited file in the /etc directory.
You can now use the tip command with the ss3000 argument:
Once you have edited and saved /etc/remote, you can also use the tip command
with the hardwire argument:
hardwire: :dv=/dev/term/b:br#9600:el=^C^S^Q^U^D:ie=%$:oe=^D:
ss3000: :dv=/dev/term/b:br#38400:el=el=^C^S^Q^U^D:ie=%$:oe=^D:
# tip ss3000
# tip hardwire
