12:46:14 <nikolam> I would like to enable serial console in SmartOS GZ so it is available after booting from Loader (and re-use the same console as in loader). 
13:55:48 <tsoome> what is your current situation about it, nikolam?
13:57:36 <tsoome> ah, I see the #illumos 
13:59:56 <tsoome> could you send me outputs from: prtconf -v | grep -A1 'tty.-'   and  tr '\0' '\n' < /system/boot/environment  | grep tty
15:35:54 <nikolam> hello tsoome glat to hear you. Here it is from bare metal SmartOS install, HP 800 G4 SFF : https://pastelink.net/qx6d96ve
15:36:00 <nikolam> glad :)
15:43:15 <tsoome> ok, so the port modes are the same. what does 'show console' tell in loader ok prompt and what is does prtconf -v | grep -A1 console  tell?
16:06:42 <nikolam> tsoome,  this is from GZ:  https://pastelink.net/q28zogks  , show console says text
16:12:47 <tsoome> "text" is local console (graphical), not serial. if you enter from ok prompt command: console - this would tell you about actually available console devices, and then you can try with either: set console=ttya (ttyb, ...)  or boot -B console=ttya  (or ttyb...) or with boot -B os_console=ttya (or ttyb ...)
16:13:57 <tsoome> once you have established working port, you can adjust your system setup accordingly.
16:15:26 <tsoome> btw, to avoid losing console on testing, you can set it: set console=text,ttya  and verify both devices
17:04:11 <nikolam> tsoome, I got it working serial console with this Intel KVM over IP, only if remote desktop console is off, when machine reboots.  
17:04:30 <nikolam> And it states show console   as text,ttya 
17:05:02 <nikolam> and I issue boot-B os_console=ttya   and still nothing in serial console after Booting... 
17:21:49 <tsoome> do you have output from loader console command, what device paths are there?
17:22:58 <tsoome> and same for prtconf -vD | grep -w asy
17:43:50 <nikolam> Wow, I got 2 times ttya..  , when serial console is working in loader.. (only upon fresh hard reboot) 
17:44:16 <nikolam> text, ttya, ttya, ttyb, null, spin 
17:46:08 <nikolam> first ttya PCiRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x16,0x3)Uart(115200,8,N,1)    second ttya ISA IO device PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1F ,0x0)Serial(0x0)
18:50:09 <tsoome> text, ttya, ttya, ttyb ? there is no typo?
18:55:04 <tsoome> on serial terminal, it would be nice if you could save and mail me output of loader lsefi command (its long!) and you can use something like tee or screen -L to save the terminal output.
