I am sponsoring the following case on behalf of Achut Reddy.  The case
proposes to add the open source 'pconsole' command to
Solaris/OpenSolaris.  Requested binding is micro/patch.  Timeout is
9/30/2008.

	 Author:  Achut Reddy

4. Technical Description

    pconsole - parallel console.
    Allows user to create multiple shell console windows;
    typically one for each node of the cluster.

    There is an existing open source implementation of pconsole here:

	http://www.heiho.net/pconsole/
 
    This project is simply to port it to OpenSolaris and have it be
    delivered into the SFW repository.  The porting effort is expected
    to be minimal.

    User Commands                                         pconsole(1)

    NAME
	 pconsole - parallel console

    SYNOPSIS

      pconsole [host[:port]]...


    DESCRIPTION

     The pconsole utility creates a host terminal window for each
     remote  host  specified  on  the command line, and a special
     "central" console window that 'multiplies' the input to each
     of  the  connections  you have opened.  pconsole is best run
     from within X Windows, although it is possible to employ  it
     without  X  (in  console mode) as well.  You need to install
     pconsole on only one machine in  the  cluster.   This  would
     usually  be your central administrative node.  If you have a
     serial port  multiplexer  that  allows  you  to  connect  to
     specific  port numbers on the IP address of the multiplexer,
     you can specify the port number in addition to the the host-
     name or IP address as '<mux-IP>:<port number>'.


    COMMANDS
     pconsole supports the following commands in the central con-
     sole window:

     <ctrl-A>
          Enter command mode.

     ? or help
          Print a list of available commands.

     version
          Display version information.

     echo
	  Turn echo on or off.

     attach
          Attach to a tty device.

     detach
          Detach from a tty device.

     list
	  Show devices currently attached to.

     connect
          Leave command mode.

     quit or exit
          Exit pconsole.

    EXIT STATUS

     The following exit values are returned:

     0 Successful completion.

     1 An error occurred.


ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
     P_TERM
               pconsole uses xterm(1) by default to create a win-
               dow  to the remote system.  Another command can be
               specified  by  setting  the  environment  variable
               P_TERM to the chosen command.

     P_TERM_OPTIONS
               pconsole uses the  options  "-geometry  80x24  -fn
               10x20" by default to pass to the command specified
               by P_TERM (or xterm(1) if P_TERM is  unspecified).
               Different  option  can be specified by setting the
               environment variable P_TERM_OPTIONS to the  chosen
               options.


     P_CONNECT_CMD
               By default, pconsole uses ssh(1) to  make  connec-
               tions. A different command (such as rlogin(1)) can
               be  used  by  setting  the  environment   variable
               P_CONNECT_CMD to the chosen command.

What is the relationship between this and the 'ctelnet' that is
discussed at http://ssc.west.sun.com/Internals/sysadmin_brc.html ?

They sound identical.

As one of the motley crewe* who produced ctelnet and friends for the
SPARCcluster1 in 1993-ish, I had the same questions :-)

cconsole/ctelnet/crsh... don't have the "main window commands"
that pconsole does, but they *did* have an understanding of
a cluster nameservice (files, nis...) that expanded a cluster
name into a list of hosts:

    ctelnet clustername

Without looking at the sources, I would guess that there is a 
common ancestor (or at least meme) out there - it all sounds way
to familiar!

All,

cconsole/crlogin/ctelnet/cssh (all links to the same binary) is a tool 
we are currently shipping
as part of SunCluster.  The package that contains it is SUNWccon (and 
localized variants).
We have been shipping this utility for years.  It is more or less 
functionally equivalent to pconsole,
with minor differences.  However, our field people insist that our 
customers prefer pconsole
(because it is more widespread and they are familiar with it).  So 
basically we are giving the
customers what they want.  pconsole is intended to replace cconsole, 
although both will
coexist for a time.  Our expectation is that we will eventually EOL 
cconsole and
leave only pconsole.

Here is a quick summary of the differences between cconsole and pconsole.

- pedigree:  cconsole was an internal utility used by our field people, 
and eventually
    packaged into the product.  Looks it originally came from the 
utility that John Plocher
    had worked on for SPARCcluster1 .  pconsole came from the OS community.

- cconsole knows specifically about clusters, and uses the config files 
/etc/clusters and
    /etc/serialports.
  pconsole uses no config files and is not specific to clusters.

- cconsole uses name of the binary link to determine connection method 
(ctelnet vs crlogin, etc)
   pconsole uses an enviroment variable for this purpose.

- cconsole has no "command mode" other than a couple of escape sequences
   pconsole has a command mode that allows attach/detach as well as 
other commands.

Hope this helps,

Achut

The larger context is useful, thanks!

It sounds like this case could easily be re-spec'd to

Make cconsole/ctelnet/... Obsolete

Introduce pconsole as a functional replacement

Specify the interface taxonomy details of the new pconsole command
(including any "Volatile/Private, keep off the grass" aspects)

That would mean what exactly?  Don't count on these command being around 
forever?  All I'm getting at is, does this force any behavior regarding 
cconsole and friends for the project team at this time?

I declared this 'Uncommitted' in keeping with what I've observed of most if 
not all of the open source ports I've been seeing coming in.  That's only in 
the man page, I should probably add it to the interfaces section.

It means:

  - we owe customers some sort of "learn to use pconsole, not
    cconsole" notice of obsolescence.

  - new projects can't rely on cconsole (not that they ever did).

  - any project team proposing to modify cconsole and friends will be
    asked "so, why again are you doing this?"

It means "New projects should not consume this interface".
Combined with the pconsole case, the message is "use pconsole 
instead". (duh :-)

A followon case is needed to do the "remove cconsole etc from
the consolidation" bit.

Except I would rather not tie the two together at this time,
unless this is required by PSARC.

While I believe it is likely that cconsole may be obsoleted,
that decision has NOT actually been made by our PAC.
It is at least conceivable that both could continue to coexist
for some time.

Marking cconsole Obsolete doesn't mean that we can't deliver it forever 
more.  It just means that folks looking to use it should instead be 
looking at pconsole (which can be documented in man pages.)

My "preference" is to Obsolete the older one unless it provides clear 
functionality that pconsole lacks (or there is some other reason that 
people using cconsole shouldn't switch to pconsole.)

However, *I* certainly don't have the strength of conviction behind this 
to do more than make it a polite suggestion.

Indeed, it is.  Obsoleting it (in ARC terms) doesn't mean it can't
continue to ship -- possibly forever.
