Goal

Solution

Execute the following command from the OS level: ~.
This will return the console to the rsc> prompt

To resume your connection with the OS type "console" at the rsc> prompt.

Navigating between RSC and the OS using tip

Execute the following command: ~~.
You may have to run the command 1-2 times before the console will return to the rsc> prompt.

To resume your connection with the OS type "console" at the rsc> prompt.

Executing the command ~. will disconnect the tip session with the RSC card.

If the escape character ~ does not work

If the escape character ~ fails to return the console session to the rsc> prompt, run the following command:

 # /usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/rscadm show escape_char
escape_char="*" 

The escape character is ~ by default, but can be user defined. To return to the rsc> prompt, type the escape_char followed by a period (.). In this example, you would type *. or ~*. to return to the rsc> prompt.

How to clear open console sessions

 rsc> console
Console session already in use.

If the console is busy, run either of the following commands to reset the console and clear any open sessions:

From the rsc prompt:

   rsc> resetrsc

From the OS:

   /usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/rscadm resetrsc
