Hi all,
we have problems with the serial ports of a Sun Ray 170. From time to
time our application simply can't open the ports.
/tmp/SUNWut/units/IEEE802.0003baffb8f3/dev/term/a
/tmp/SUNWut/units/IEEE802.0003baffb8f3/dev/term/b
Since the problem appears always for both ports at the same time I
conclude that this is rather a SRS issue than an issue in our
application. The hard solution to fix this is to plug the power cable
of the Sun Ray, wait a minute until SRS has realized that the sun ray
is no longer there - this causes the devices to be removed - and then
power on the Sun Ray again (devices reappear).
Any idea what causes these problems? Is this a known bug in SRS 3.1? We
are on Solaris 10 03/05 SPARC! The sometimes can be accessed again
after half an hour os so, but this is no solution. Can we - as a
workaround - programmatically trigger the regeneration of the port
devices? This would be an ugly hack, but...
We need to get this working ASAP. As an alternative can anybody
recommend a device (ethernet to at least two serial ports, USB to at
least two serial ports) that could be accessed from a Solaris
application and that would make up a more reliable solution than using
the serial ports of the Sun Ray?
Hints are greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance!
Regards,
Andreas
