How I configure 3510 via terminal?
Hi,
I see a terminal port on the back of my 3510.
I assume I may use a terminal emulator to configure the array.
What kind of cable and communication parameters do I need?
I spent 15 minutes on google looking for the answer.
Also I connected to the port via a straight through cable to my laptop
and tried a variety of communication settings.
The 3510 would not talk to me.
I assume this is covered on the web or in the docs somewhere
but I couldnt find it.
Sorry for posting such a simple question.

Search on doc.sun.com for 3510 and you'll find the manuals.
Here's the install guide:

Which says:
4.7 Configuring a COM Port to Connect to a
RAID Array
The RS-232 COM port on either controller module is used to configure and monitor
the RAID array. It can be connected to a VT100 terminal or terminal emulation
program, to a terminal server, or to the serial port of a server.
1. Use a null modem serial cable to connect the COM port of the RAID array to the
serial port on a host workstation.
A null modem serial cable is included in your package contents.
2. Set the serial port parameters on the workstation as follows:
38,400 baud
8 bit
1 stop bit
No parity
For platform-specific details, see the appendix that describes the operating system
your server uses.
