cvcd(1M)
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.
