This is slightly off topic, but I am wondering what others do for serial
console management. Like many other sites, we have a collection of Sun and
Alpha servers. We have the console ports on several of them running to a
small Alpha workstation and we use the old Polycenter Console Manager
software for that. This works well for us, but we're outgrowing it because
some of the systems we want to add are quite far from the console manager
so I figured this would be an opportunity to get a new console manager
setup to connect to these new systems. I am looking for something that has
the features of Polycenter Console manager, specifically, where it allows
us to centralize log files on the console server. I looked at the
ConsoleServer 3200 from Lightwave Communications, but it does not provide
any way of managing system log files, other than taking brief snapshots of
them. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.
