NAME

     cvcd - virtual console daemon


SYNOPSIS

     /platform/platform_name/cvcd


DESCRIPTION

     The virtual console daemon, cvcd, is a server  process  that
     supports the network console provided on some platforms. The
     cvcd daemon  accepts  network  console  connections  from  a
     remote host (only one host at any given time). Console input
     is read from this connection and forwarded to cvc(7D) by way
     of cvcredir(7D).

     Similarly, console output is read from cvcredir(7D) and for-
     warded  across the network console connection. If cvcd dies,
     console traffic is automatically rerouted through an  inter-
     nal hardware interface.

     The cvcd daemon normally starts at system  boot  time.  Each
     domain supports only one cvcd process at a time.

     Caution:
           On Sun Enterprise 10000 domains, cvcd  uses  a  confi-
           guration file (/etc/ssphostname) to determine the name
           of the host from which network console connections are
           allowed.  If  the  remote console host is renamed, you
           must edit  the  configuration  file  to  reflect  that
           change.


OPERANDS

     The following operands are supported:

     platform_name
           The official Sun platform name used in  packaging  and
           code.  For  example,  for  Sun  Fire  15K servers, the
           platform_name would be SUNW,Sun-Fire-15000.
