How do I connect to a Telehouse server via the serial port?
At Telehouse, we have installed an Octopus 550 in sylvia, a domU that is installed on Octavia. An Octopus 550 is a pci card that has 8 serial lines coming out of it. Octavia already has two built-in serial lines. Octavia's first built-in serial line is outputting a getty for Octavia itself. The remaining 9 serial lines are connected to the following hosts:
- viewsic
- malcolm
- chavez
- gramsci
- sontag
- menchu
- shadow
- leslie
- evo
In order to connect via serial console to one of the servers named above, ssh into sylvia with the appropriate user name based on:
servername-console
For example:
ssh shadow-console@sylvia.mayfirst.org cereal attach shadow
Would give you full read/write access to the console on shadow.
We can also setup additional users that have read-only access to the sessions created by each of these usernames.
