console(8)

NAME console - connect to a domain console

SYNOPSIS console [ [-q]-{yn}]-ddomain_id [-f-r][-sescapeChar]

console -h

DESCRIPTION The console(8) command connects the XSCF shell console to the console of the specified domain (domain console).

Domain consoles include a writable console and read-only console. Only one writable console and multiple read-only consoles can be connected to one domain. An attempt to set up a connection to another writable console while one writable console is already connected results in an error. Even in this case, however, a user with the platadm or domainadm privilege can forcibly establish a connection to a writable console, in which case the currently connected writable console is disconnected.

To exit the domain console and return to the XSCF shell console, press the Enter key and then enter '#.'.

Note – The console(8) command does not automatically log out the domain command line. Make certain to log out from the domain prior to exiting the console.
