Cable needs to be a null modem cable. Connect com1 (sa1) of server #2 (tty0
console port) to com2 (sa2) of server #1
Best thing to use is a REAL IBM console cable with the appropriate gender
benders
Create tty on com2 (sa2) of server #1
Should see this when done
# lsdev -Cc tty
tty0 Available 01-S1-00-00 Asynchronous Terminal
tty1 Available 01-S2-00-00 Asynchronous Terminal
make sure you had UUCP filesets installed on server #1
# lslpp -l | grep -i uucp
bos.net.uucp 5.1.0.35 COMMITTED Unix to Unix Copy Program
bos.net.uucp 5.1.0.25 COMMITTED Unix to Unix Copy Program
vi /etc/uucp/Devices and add this line to the bottom of the file
Direct tty1 - 9600 direct
now on server #1 if you did everything correctly, type cu -l tty1 and you
should get a login prompt on server #2
Good Luck
Doug
