Physical Serial Console Access

For physical console access, the virtual machine must be configured to attach the virtual serial port to a physical serial port on the host system. This configuration task is performed using the Charon-SSP Manager as shown in Serial Line Configuration. Charon-SSP AWS cannot have hardware physical ports, so these ports must be emulated over a network connection.

Additional serial port configuration options, such as speed, parity, and stop-bits must be configured using the ttya‑mode variable in the OpenBoot guest environment.  For additional information regarding the configuration of the ttya-mode variable, see the OpenBoot Command Reference in the appendix.

Built-in Serial Console of the Charon Manager

From the Charon-SSP Manager you can access the serial console via the Console tab. The example below shows the console of a SUN-4U system.

The example below shows the serial console configuration of a Charon-SSP/4U and a Charon-SSP/4V system.

 Only one connection to the console is possible at one time. If you try to open a second connection to the console (e.g., via a remote terminal emulation program), Charon Manager will terminate the second connection and re-establish the built-in console connection.

After starting the emulated system, the graphics devices opens:

Please note:

The graphical performance depends on many parameters, for example, the performance of the host system, the emulated system, and the network. 
One important requirement is that the round-trip time of the network connection between display device and emulated Solaris system running on the AWS instance should be less or equal to 20ms. 
For every use case, a test is required to evaluate the suitability for the specific customer environment.

Other Interactive Access to the Virtual SPARC System

Once the Solaris guest has been booted, you can connect to it by several means. For example:

• Remote terminal emulation program using telnet.
• Remote terminal emulation program using SSH.
• Graphical desktop via a remote X-server configured in the Charon Manager (see Graphical Interface via X11 Server on Linux).

 Direct root login over the network must be allowed on Solaris if required.

• For SSH: set PermitRootLogin yes in /etc/ssh/sshd_config to allow interactive login with passwords.
• For general login: comment out the CONSOLE=/dev/console line in /etc/default/login.
