Alternate Solution For "Sun Break" Problem
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.
