[zones-discuss] sharing terminal server ports to non-global zone
A customer is unable to share something called the terminal server ports to non-global zone. I don't know what these are, but here's the description: Serial sensor interfaces are fed to a patch panel and then received by a digital terminal server. Terminal server sends output to a switch, to which the host is connected. Terminal server port driver installs in global zone, creates /dev/dty/tt1, /dev/tty/tt2 ... He tried adding the device by set match = /dev/dty/* but the device does not appear in the non-global zone. Any thoughts? CT ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org

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).

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.
