Alternate Solution For "Sun Break" Problem Alternate Solution For "Sun Break" Problem Description:
Sun Server interprets loss of a power(powercycle) to the PortServer II used for consoling the Sun Server as 'send brk'
Solution:
Digi introduced a hardware fix that resolves "Sun break" problem, however if you have older PortServer II that does not have this hardware revision there is an alternate solution:
This works on a Solaris 8 system, and there is supposedly patches for 2.6, and 2.7
1. Edit /etc/system
set abort_enable=0
2. Edit /etc/default/kbd
KEYBOARD_ABORT=alternate
What this does is DISABLE the "normal" break sequence on the Sun.
The "alternate" break sequence is RETURN TILDE CONTROL-B.
This will halt the system, and loss of power to the digi switch does not impact the host in any way.
