The cconsole tool allow us to have multiple parallel connections (ssh, telnet or rlogin) to many UNIX servers. Unfortunately this tool is not able to run with OpenSolaris (Nevada or Indiana) because of missing libs. As I always need to work with cconsole, I use the following workaround to run it on OpenSolaris 20008.05.
Download package file from http://mpkgopensolaris.sourceforge.net/pkg/libcconsole-solaris-5.11-i86pc.pkg.bz2 and install it with with pkgadd (must be install in default location /opt/SUNWcluster):
# bunzip2 libcconsole-solaris-5.11-i86pc.pkg.bz2
# pkgadd -d ./libcconsole-solaris-5.11-i86pc.pkg
Now you can Install cconsole package (SUNWccon) from your Solaris Cluster Express 6/08 x86 media available from opensolaris.org
# cd <media_dir>/Solaris_x86/Product/sun_cluster/Solaris_10/Packages
# pkgadd -d ./ SUNWccon
Add Followings lines in /etc/hosts
# echo "127.0.0.1 l1 l2 l3 l4 l5 l6 l7 l8" >> /etc/hosts
Create your cconsole configuration file
# cat > /etc/clusters << EOF
> n2 l1 l2
> n3 l1 l2 l3
> n4 l1 l3 l3 l4
> n5 l1 l2 l3 l4 l5
> n6 l1 l2 l3 l4 l5 l6
> n7 l1 l2 l3 l4 l5 l6 l7
> n8 l1 l2 l3 l4 l5 l6 l7 l8
> EOF
If you Want to use ctelnet Allow Telnet in you OpenSolaris desktop
# svcadm enable svc:/network/telnet:default
And for example if you need to have six parallel terminals with cssh just run the mcssh script instead:
# /opt/SUNWcluster/bin/mcssh n6
