Modifying the /etc/remote File

This procedure might be necessary if you are accessing the server module using a TIP connection from a Sun system running an older version of the Solaris OS software. You might also need to perform this procedure if the /etc/remote file on the Sun system has been altered and no longer contains an appropriate hardwire entry.

Log in as superuser to the system console of a Sun system that you intend to use to establish a TIP connection to the server module.

▼To Modify the /etc/remote File

1.Determine the release level of Solaris OS software installed on the Sun system. Type:

#uname -r

The system responds with a release number.

2.Do one of the following, depending on the number displayed.

■If the number displayed by the uname -rcommand is 5.0 or higher:

The Solaris OS software shipped with an appropriate entry for hardwire in the /etc/remote file. If you suspect that this file was altered, and the hardwire entry modified or deleted, check the entry against the following example, and edit the file as needed.

hardwire:\ :dv=/dev/term/b:br#9600:el=^C^S^Q^U^D:ie=%$:oe=^D:

Note – If you intend to use the Sun system’s serial port A rather than serial port B, edit this entry by replacing /dev/term/b with /dev/term/a.

■If the number displayed by the uname -rcommand is less than 5.0:

Check the /etc/remote file and add the following entry, if it does not already exist.

hardwire:\ :dv=/dev/ttyb:br#9600:el=^C^S^Q^U^D:ie=%$:oe=^D:
