On an Alphaserver with a graphic color monitor as the system console
but also with the console port linked to a decserver for remote
management by Polycenter console manager.
Our questionis how does this work?:
1/ can we have the 2 consoles at the same time?
2/If yes what are the limitations?
3/If not how do we switch from one console to another?
(hardware switch? software? ...)
Thanks for a quick help.
Soumetty.

You cannot have two "true" consoles at the same time. It is
either the graphic or the serial. Selection is model dependent.
E.q. on Alphaserver 2100 you would
>>> set console serial
>>> init
or
>>> set console graphics
>>> init
On a DEC 3000-300 system (workstation) there is a jumper on the
motherboard. Check the hardware manuals of the system in
question.
