Distance should not be an obstacle. You may not be able to physically
access the console but console access should still be possible either by
getting someone else to physically eyeball it or a launch remote console
session yourself.
How about using something like a Cyclades terminal server to access one or
more host consoles remotely via ssh? Even if a Cyclades is not an option
then what about a network connected management facility such as an
ALOM/ILOM or similar? Again via ssh, login and launch the console process
from there. As long as the chassis had power then you should have LOM
access if the WAN is available.
Voila! Serial console heaven from the other side of the world even. Sure
talking someone on the other end of a phone through a system recovery is
not the easiest of tasks and it may not be as quick as direct connect in
the same room or even an ssh session over your LAN but it sure would beat
an acoustic coupled 300 baud half duplex modem that we used to use at AWA
to dial in and fix GFE's etc.
So how do you access your system console?
Cheers
Peter

Peter, I'm 1200+ miles away from the box. Getting to the console is
not an option. To restart, I've been forcing Unidata down with stopud
-f and starting it again with startud. Yeah, drastic, I know. But
that's why I'm looking for better ways.
How do you get to the box to do a stopud/startud?
This implies AIX is up and responding. So it shouldn't be too hard to open
a remote session at the AIX level to find out what is going wrong.
Not that I can advise how to do it ...
Cheers,
