Mailing List Archive: conserver from solaris to linux

First task is given to me at my new job to migrate conserver from old
solaris box to linux VM. I have build rpm using the file given at
conserver.com.
I am testing new conserver by using old solaris conserver.cf file and one
of existing console called "fish".

After starting the conserver, the console "fish" goes down after few
seconds. I am totally new to conserver, so I am not sure how I can
disconnect from old master on solaris and connect to test master at linux
for short term test, and then connect back to old server.
can same server console be coonected to different master ?

Here are details of command, config and log file

#conserver -v

Hey Yash,

You'll the two could come up in unison if the ilo port allowed it (but doesn't)...so what you should do is use the "^Ecd" sequence to "down" the console on the master so that your test instance can connect. Even when the test instance has forced the port down, you can use "^Eco" to have it open the connection again. So, with the proper use of each sequence on each instance, you'll be able to flip-flop control of that console between them.
