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 forwarded across the network console connection. If cvcd dies, console traffic is automatically rerouted through an internal 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 configuration 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.
