Quite annoying problem, no workaround yet. Thanks to Ben van Loock for pointing this out to me.

There’s no workaround because console-login stays offline until the sulogin shell is
exited. This is normal, and doesn’t indicate an error. Why is this a problem and
how is it annoying?

Hi Liane ! Very happy to read you (again! Your blog is a mine of info for a Solaris instructor).

What is annoying : when using JDS, after having switched to another milestone, say multi-user-server, ‘console-login’ is disabled and ’sulogin’ is started. If I then try to open a console window using good old ‘xterm -C’ or ‘xconsole’, I get the annoying message “cannot open console”. Looking closer, it happens that an ioctl(2) SRIOCSREDIR fails on the /dev/console file with EBUSY. I guess that the sulogin shell is now having exclusive access to the console. So the question is : how do I access the console now ? The answer is : kill the sulogin process. The contract for sulogin specifies that svc.startd should not restart it. The console-login service is online again afterwards.
So when you say “… until the sulogin shell is exited.”, ok but in the meantime, how do I monitor the console ?

Another situation : if when switching milestone to multi-user-server, I had a console window open then I suddenly see “Requesting system maintenance mode” login prompt in the console window. Which is surprising if you don’t know what is happening. If then a wrong password is entered, the xterm console window becomes unresponsive.

More generally, I don’t really understand why switching to a milestone other than single-user has an impact on the way my console is working.

I hope that all this makes some sense !
