I'll add one thing here. The best thing to do is create a standard. 9600,N,8,1 is a good setting. Make sure all of your console can conform to that. This way you do not have to worry about one device being 57600 while another is at 19200.

It works until you need to flatten the config of some remote device and it's default isn't your usual settings. (Or some device loses it's brain..) My method is to keep an up-to-date list of the default settings of each type of device out there (along with the default uname/password). In the end, there's less resetting of port configs. z!

By that I mean I have the master server running at one site (A) and it connects to all the serial port concentrators at site A, and at remotes sites B, C & D. But when I have to take down and reboot the master server, I loose all console access, which is a bummer. So aside from setting up multiple master servers, one for each site, how can I setup things so that I have a master and a standby server, so that if the master goes down, all the clients know to talk to the standby box, which picks up the session(s) dropped by the master. Sure, there could be problems here, but something to at least make DR easier would be helpful. I don't care as much about the logs of what's happened, but keeping the client side from having to make changes is more key to me.

You mean they just want to make a log of what they're seeing while they're attached to the console? If so, I'd recommend they use "script". Otherwise, I could imagine a relatively simple change made to the console client that would allow optionally logging all output of the client, in addition to running it to the controlling tty. I'd just recommend script(1), myself. :-) - Chris From benbatten@gmail.com Fri Aug 10 07:53:57 2007 Received: from nz-out-0506.google.com (nz-out-0506.google.com [64.233.162.225]) by underdog.stansell.org (8.14.1/8.14.1) with ESMTP id l7AErpfv021187 for ; Fri, 10 Aug 2007 07:53:57 -0700 (PDT) Received: by nz-out-0506.google.com with SMTP id r28so349174nza for ; Fri, 10 Aug 2007 07:53:51 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.65.242.11 with SMTP id u11mr4122955qbr.1186757631176; Fri, 10 Aug 2007 07:53:51 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.65.126.3 with HTTP; Fri, 10 Aug 2007 07:53:51 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <802f42640708100753sa38bacs145887d599032d7c@mail.gmail.com> Date: Fri, 10 Aug 2007 10:53:51 -0400 From: "Ben Batten" To: users@conserver.com Subject: Logging MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline X-Spam-Score: -0.74 () BAYES_20 X-Scanned-By: MIMEDefang 2.57 on 209.182.219.30 X-BeenThere: users@conserver.com X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.9 Precedence: list List-Id: Conserver Users List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 10 Aug 2007 14:53:59 -0000 Hello everyone-- Quick question ... is there a way to prevent users altogether from turning off logging via the client?

There isn't anything internally to support that setup. You can certainly just have a copy of the conserver.cf file on another host (which has access to everything) and turn up conserver there if/when necessary. To make it even fancier, you could have a process test connections to the main conserver host to auto-detect when it goes down and then fire things up automatically. And I suppose you could even make the startup sequence on the main server go to the backup and shutdown any existing conserver processes, so that it can take back control. You've probably thought of all this...unfortunately I don't have any other bright ideas. As for the client issue, if you can swing a dns name quickly, you'd be good. Or you create a wrapper for the console command that first tries the master, and if it fails, tries the backup. Again, nothing internal to help you out, but it seems doable.

If I were to do this this is what I would do. #1. Create some master conserver servers. These servers will both connect to all the cosnoles in the organization. Anyone could connect to either server. #2. Create a replacement or wrapper for console. This could be very easy. This program would then direct the person to the correct server. Example: use Net::Ping; use strict; sub up { my $ip = shift; my $p = Net::Ping->new(); my $result = $p->ping($ip); $p->close(); return $result; } # Main part my $console_name = $ARGV[0]; my @servers = [ "192.168.1.1", "192.168.1.2" ]; foreach(@servers) { if(up($_)) { system "console ........."; exit 0; } } die "All connections attempts to the console servers have failed!\n"; On Fri, 2007-08-10 at 10:58 -0700, Bryan Stansell wrote: > On Thu, Aug 09, 2007 at 02:54:49PM -0400, John Stoffel wrote: > > So aside from setting up multiple master servers, one for each site, > > how can I setup things so that I have a master and a standby server, > > so that if the master goes down, all the clients know to talk to the > > standby box, which picks up the session(s) dropped by the master. > > There isn't anything internally to support that setup.

The idea is that the console name will be appended to the 'xm console' command, saving me the trouble of doing so. Yet, when run, conserver creates the xen-test console, but the only output to it is from 'xm console' complaining that it requires another argument, the domain's name (i.e. as if only 'xm console' was run). If I put 'exec xm console exec' in to xen-test's console declaration then everything works fine and I get xen-test's console. What am I doing wrong with the exec subsitution? Thanks! PS.

No, you should not have to install any package but you may have to turn on that port on the Sun. We keep an actual dumb terminal (and old DEC vt220) around to debug these sorts of things, but a laptop with a serial comm package (we use Kermit) can also work. When there are problems like this it is my experience that it is the host usually -- so the first step is to make sure that the host is set for serial console and/or it has a terminal listener running on that port so it accepts logins. I, thankfully, don't have any suns to manage but it seems like that would look something like this: ps -ef ... root 276 1 0 Aug 02 console 0:00 /usr/lib/saf/ttymon -g -h -p dirpeople-3 console login: -T sun -d /dev/console ... which you seem to get with an entry something like this in /etc/inittab co:234:respawn:/usr/lib/saf/ttymon -g -h -p "`uname -n` console login: " -T sun -d /dev/console -l console -m ldterm,ttcompat Hope this helps, John From david.k.harris@siemens.com Fri Aug 17 09:45:37 2007 Received: from usnwk224srv.usa.siemens.com (usnwksmtp04e.usa.siemens.com [12.46.135.35]) by underdog.stansell.org (8.14.1/8.14.1) with ESMTP id l7HGiiD8013888 for ; Fri, 17 Aug 2007 09:44:50 -0700 (PDT) Received: from usnwk202a.ww017.siemens.net ([155.45.111.47]) by usnwk224srv.usa.siemens.com with InterScan Messaging Security Suite; Fri, 17 Aug 2007 09:43:42 -0700 Received: from USNWK102MSX.ww017.siemens.net ([155.45.111.56]) by usnwk202a.ww017.siemens.net with Microsoft SMTPSVC(6.0.3790.3959); Fri, 17 Aug 2007 09:43:39 -0700 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft Exchange V6.5 Content-class: urn:content-classes:message MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----_=_NextPart_001_01C7E0ED.ABBE096B" Subject: RE: Cyclade TS 800 Console problem Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2007 09:42:59 -0700 Message-ID: <2461A50AD2345646B1C4B3D7BA40B8E202D14087@USNWK102MSX.ww017.siemens.net> In-Reply-To: X-MS-Has-Attach: X-MS-TNEF-Correlator: Thread-Topic: Cyclade TS 800 Console problem Thread-Index: AcfgsXEneucy37SFT4iIMwh4emz20AANa6fg From: "Harris, David (IT Solutions US)" To: "athreya hi" X-OriginalArrivalTime: 17 Aug 2007 16:43:39.0816 (UTC) FILETIME=[C3ADB280:01C7E0ED] X-Spam-Score: -2.311 () BAYES_00,HTML_MESSAGE X-Scanned-By: MIMEDefang 2.62 on 209.182.219.30 Cc: consoleteam@gmail.com, users@conserver.com X-BeenThere: users@conserver.com X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.9 Precedence: list List-Id: Conserver Users List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2007 16:45:38 -0000 This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------_=_NextPart_001_01C7E0ED.ABBE096B Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi Athreya, =20 So far, I think you are using the correct settings.

Subject: Cyclade TS 800 = Console problem

 

Hi All,

 

I am new to this group and also to confguring console servers. =

 

We have got a Cyclade TS 800 box and we want to configure that = to access the consoles of Sun Servers and Brocade = Switches.

 

 

When I try to access the console of the Sun Server which is = connected to port 1 of the cyclade

 

here I am using the option SOCKET = SERVER

 

After entering the user name and password I go nowhere , Same = happens If I set the option to SOCKET SSH

 

 

Do we need to install any package on the SUn server too to = interact with the cyclade ?

 

Pleas help me on this

 

Thanks in advance

Hi All,
 
Thanks very much for your reply. Still I am unable to access the conso= le via cyclade TS 800. But we are not sure either about  the stat= us of the cabling.
 
We will check that and compare that with the details provided Harris a= nd Surely will update the status.
 
But sametime , thanks very much again for the reply .

  Hi Athreya,

 

  So far, I think you are usin= g the correct settings. We use socket_server as well. (Here are some of the= key parts of my configuration.)  So, it leads me to ask about your ph= ysical connection. See my questions below the configuration.

 

all.protocol    sock= et_server

all.socket_port 7001+=

 

all.host_port   7000

all.host_idletime   =     30

 

all.mtu 1500

all.mru 1500

 

all.term    &nb= sp;   vt100

 

all.lf_suppress 0

 

all.flow    &nb= sp;   none

 

all.dcd 0

all.DTR_reset   100

 

all.socket_port 7001+=

 

Questions;

 

1)&nbs= p;      = Have you u= sed the DB25 Loopback adapter to test your connection?

 &n= bsp;     (You can connect the loopback adapter to the C= yclades DB25 adapter, and

 &n= bsp;    use a CAT-5 cable to connect this combination to one= port on the TS-800.

 &n= bsp;    Then try your SSH=85when you connect, can you see wh= at you are typing?

 &n= bsp;    If you can, your SSH and socket_server settings are = correct.)
