Thanks to Roque Hernandez, Neil Quiogue, Andrew Hall. General consensus is no risk except wrong commands (i.e. same risk as network connection). To quote Neil : " Shouldn't be risky. The console does not have any 'break' except during boot up when you can print out the password of the T3 through the console (I think this is one of the reasons with the special warning).

Hi, I'm going to connect a T3+ console to a console server (via RJ45), because the T3 is currently not connected to the network and I dont want to reboot the T3 to make it do RARP to get an IP address. In the T3 operation manual, the following warning is printed : "The serial port is reserved for special service procedures that can be performed only by qualified, trained service personnel. Do not attempt to perform any procedures through the serial port or you risk damaging the disk tray configuration and data" What king or risk are they talking about exactly ? I mean, specific risks compared to a network connexion (not talking about erroneous configuration commands) ? Is there some magic signal combination (e.g. break sequence or something similar) that can lead to data corruption or config reset ? Can I safely connect a running T3 console ? Thanks. -- Sebastien DAUBIGNE Sebastien.daubigne@atosorigin.com - +33(0)5.57.26.56.36 AtosOrigin Infogerance - IMS/ERP/Pessac _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagers _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Wed Dec 15 08:48:01 2004
