Symptom: Unable to log into Sun Fire domain remotely.

When you attempt to log into a domain on a Sun Fire 3800/4800/4810/6800 server and get the error

Connection refused, console busy

the reason is that the console is still in use by another user, or the serial port session was not closed previously.

Resolution

To fix this, telnet to the System Controller (SC) and log into the platform shell.

Example:

telnet HostNameofServer
Trying 129.148.xxx.xxx...
Connected to HostNameofServer.
Escape character is '^]'.
System Controller 'HostNameofServer':
Type   0   for Platform Shell
Type   1   for domain A console
Type   2   for domain B console
Type   3   for domain C console
Type   4   for domain D console
Input:

Select 0 for the Platform Shell, then type: connections to show the active connections.

Example:

HostNameofServer-sc0:SC> connections

ID   Hostname                                 Idle Time Connected On     Connected To
--- ------------------------ --------- -------------- --------------
9 Localhost                               00:01         Nov 01 19:58     Domain A
12 129.148.190.164                   00:25         Nov 04 12:39     Console Menu
2 129.148.195.194                   -                 Nov 04 13:05     Platform

The Localhost is the serial port on the System Controller.

To disconnect a session use the command 'disconnect' followed by the ID number.

Example:

HostNameofServer-sc0:SC> disconnect 9

The A domain may now can be logged into remotely.
