Sure sounds like they have a bunch of serial-attach devices that they multiplex onto the network using a terminal concentrator and demultiplex in software at the computer, and they want to make some or all of those serial connections available to applications running in local zones. > Christine Tran wrote: >> Jerry Jelinek wrote: >> >>> Christine Tran wrote: >>> A customer is unable to share something called the "terminal server ports" to non-global zone.

Re: [zones-discuss] sharing "terminal server ports" to non-global zone
Sounds like they want to access the local zone's console directly from a terminal server? I don't believe there is a concept of that in the zones model (of course, the local zone's console is normally started with "zlogin -C zonename" from the global zone).
