Chapter 3 Connecting to the XSCF and the Server 3-3
3.1.2 Port and Terminal Types Connected to the XSCF
As shown in FIGURE 3-1, two types of ports, serial and Ethernet, can be used for
connecting to the XSCF and the XSCF terminal.
Serial
The XSCF Shell and domain console (OS console) can be used while a terminal is
connected to a serial port.
Ethernet
The XSCF Shell and domain console can be used with SSH or telnet at a terminal
using an Ethernet (referred to as XSCF-LAN, in this document) connection. Also, the
XSCF Web can be used, with the appropriate browser settings. Other functions
which rely on XSCF-LAN (Ethernet) connectivity are the mail notification function,
the SNMP function, the log archiving function, the remote maintenance service
function, time synchronization with an external NTP server, and user authentication
with an LDAP server.
Connect cables to the appropriate connectors, log in to XSCF from the XSCF
terminal, and then perform the console(8) command. After that, you can use the
domain console (see Note below). You can return to the XSCF Shell console by
pressing the "#" (default escape character) and "." (period) keys while holding down
the Enter key. The XSCF functions do not vary according to the port type.
Note that the XSCF Web cannot be used on PCs and workstations that are connected
via serial port.
Note – The function used to switch from the XSCF Shell to the domain console by a
command is called the XSCF console redirection function. In the server, each system
board is serially and directly connected to the XSCF Unit (multipath configuration).
When the user performs the console(8) command, XSCF automatically selects a
path to the valid domain.
TABLE 3-1 lists the types of terminals connected to each port shown in FIGURE 3-1 and
corresponding port numbers.
