We have a console (console server?) at the end of each row that
provides a common console to a number of Solaris servers. You select
the machine you want from a list hit enter and the console prompts you
with a cde login to the server you have specified.

By problem is with one Solaris server (Solaris 9), when I pick it and
hit enter I don't get a cde login - all I get is a blank/black screen.
And yes, I did move the mouse afterwards.

I can get on the system through its rsc/alom connection and over the
ethernet network just fine. I restarted dtlogin but it did not help.

Is there anything else I can try. Any others processes to check?
Perhaps I have a bad console cable.

I'm not sure if the following are related.
While I'm logged in through the alom/rsc I keep getting this error:
INIT: Command is respawning too rapidly. Check for possible errors.
id: h1 "/etc/init.d/init.cssd run >/dev/null 2>&1 </dev/null"

Also noticed this is /var/adm/messages:
Jan 31 17:16:22 gscsun rmclomv: [ID 948834 kern.error] Failed to send
email alert for recent event.

/var/dt/Xerrors did'nt have anything in it except during the time I
restarted dtlogin.

Thanks guru dudes.

Because you have hit a problem none of us recognize and we have nothing
useful to say to you.

Thanks, I was afraid I had somehow offended the gracious intellectuals
that might help me become enlightened to the mysteries of all things
UNIX.

Did this machine boot with a keyboard attached (or does the kvm box work
properly with Sun machines?)

If not, it won't have a display active.

You have a console connection not through the screen? Do your other Sun
machines do this? You can run the X display separate from the console
login, but most folks don't do that.

I don't recognize that as a standard Solaris tool. Perhaps it's a local
program? I don't see why it would be related to your issue.

What errors did you get then?
