6472153 If you create a Solaris Flash archive on a non-
Sun SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000 sun4u
server and install it on a Sun SPARC
Enterprise M4000/M5000 sun4u server, the
console's TTY flags will not be set correctly.
This can cause the console to lose characters
during stress.

"SEAGATE DAT DAT72-000",
"SEAGATE_DAT____DAT72-000",
"SEAGATE_DAT____DAT72-000";

DAT and DAT72-000.
Just after installing Solaris OS from a Solaris
Flash archive, telnet into the Sun SPARC
Enterprise M4000/M5000 server to reset the
console's TTY flags as follows:
# sttydefs -r console
# sttydefs -a console -i "9600 hupcl
opost onlcr crtscts" -f "9600"
This procedure is required only once.
