| Installation |
| ------------ |
| See the INSTALL file for details. |
| |
| |
| Configuration |
| ------------- |
| A console multiplexor is defined using a per instance configuration file. |
| The standard startup scripts expect this to be in the ROOT/etc and have |
| a .cf suffix. |
| |
| Below is an example configuration defining the console for a NUMA-Q: |
| |
| $ cat kite.cf |
| # START:autoboot |
| listener kite |
| socket console 'kite console' console.server.here.com:6000 |
| command 'hardreset' 'initated a hard reset' \ |
| 'conmux-attach -o status localhost/kite reboot-numaq vcs \ |
| vcsconsole.server.here.com kite 12346 administrator passwd' |
| $ |
| |
| These are connected to using the console command, using the symbolic console |
| name: |
| |
| $ console kite |
| |
| |
| Automatic Startup |
| ----------------- |
| See the start script for automated startup of console daemons. |
| This script is designed to be used at system boot time out of |
| /etc/init.d. |
| |
