When using RSC, the system administrator has the option to redirect the console to RSC. This allows the RSC user to enter and exit the system console mode from the RSC shell. If an administrator is using the commands from the current RSC user's guides this can be misleading.

In the current RSC user's guides (2.0,2.1,2.2) the OBP commands to redirect the console to RSC are shown as:

ok diag-output-to rsc

ok setenv input-device rsc

ok setenv output-device rsc

These older commands will not work in redirecting the console to RSC. The following must be used in order for the redirection to take effect:

ok setenv diag-out-console true

ok input-device rsc-console

ok output-device rsc-console

These commands will take effect after the next server reset.

If you are wanting to redirect the console server back to TTYA , you can do the following:

ok setenv diag-out-console false

ok setenv input-device keyboard

ok setenv output-device screen

If the RSC console is the console and RSC has not been fully configured, the RSC card can be pulled from the machine in order to temporarily reset the output to the TTYA port. Once OBP has been started, the parameters will need to be reset appropriately to go to another device until the RSC card has been configured.
