Active serial console on Viprion chassis with two blades
Nathan, I hadn't tried the bladectl command (I didn't know about it) but I can connect through slot 2 console to AOM and activate the slot 1 console. I guess it's something similar.
I have two physical connections, one to the slot 1 blade console and the other one to the slot 2 blade console.
I thought that I'd get console on both of them, but it seems that only the primary blade in the cluster could be available through serial console. Even knowing this there's something that doesn't make any sense to me and it's that the slot 1 blade is the master blade or primary cluster blade but I don't get a console, I get console in the slot 2 blade that isn't the primary. Does it any sense to you all this?
As Nathan says, I've tried to find documentation about console behaviour in Viprion clusters, and I didn't get any that explains this weird behaviour.
I also wonder about the utility of not having both console blades working. Ig I reboot the chassis and want to have the two consoles opened so I can see the boot sequence on both blades... how can I get this? Just one of the consoles would have the boot sequence output and the other one would be dead?
