SE THE DMINISTRATION
Because only a single shell is supported by the Administration Console, you
may be disconnected from your session if someone else remotely accesses
the Console. The possible reasons for Console disconnections are listed in
Table 2-2.
Table 2-2 Reasons for Console Disconnections
Access Method
Terminal through
the serial port
Telnet or rlogin
To ensure that your Administration Console session will not be pre-empted
by remote access, you can lock the Console. Remote access is prohibited
only for that particular session.
The Console is always locked when you are in the middle of a command. For
example, the Console is locked during a software update.
To lock the Console:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
system consoleLock
You are prompted to unlock (off ) or lock (on) the Console as shown below:
