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 ReferenceConsole in the appendix.

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 the Charon Manager is connected via the integrated SSH tunnel and 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. If the Charon Manager is not running or not connected via the integrated SSH tunnel, a console connection can be established via a remote terminal program and the built-in console tab will be disconnected.
If a second connection via Charon Manager is made to the same system, the current Charon-Manager connection is terminated.

Console Access via the Emulated Graphics Device (Charon-SSP/4M/4U(+) only)
...
When booting for the first time after adding the configuration, use boot command
boot <device> -r
...
to configure the graphics device correctly in the Solaris guest system.

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.
