Cheap KVM switch for Solaris 10 on US and Intel boxes?

Hi. Any one got some idea on which kind of KVM switch is supported on Solaris 10 on UltraSparc as well as Intel boxes? I can only find those expensive ones for enterprise users, but I am just a home user, unable to afford that. Thanks for your suggestion!!

From what I can tell, containers (zones) are supported just fine on the x86/64 systems with the exception of Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 branded zones. Oh, and Linux-branded zones only work on x86/64 systems. Solaris 10 though as a non-global zone works on any S10 host OS.

  • Best KVM Switch for iMac & PC

    I have spent too much time trying to figure out the best solution for my needs, so this forum is my last resort.
    I need to know if anyone out there has an iMac and a PC hooked up to a KVM switch using their mac wired or wireless keyboard & mouse.
    What is the best KVM switch out there for this setup? What are people using right now that works?
    My ultimate goal is to have my iMac, laptop pc, and tower pc that has it's own 21" wide screen display, all linked to the same keyboard and mouse so I can switch back and forth between the three using a hot-key.
    Someone please help...I've become desperate.
    Thanks.

    I use one by IOGEAR for my PC and Linux server and it works great.
    Barbara, I would love to know how to get RDC to work, but I have yet to. I will start another thread about this someday, but RDC always asks for a password and I do not have a password set up on my WinXP machine.
    I agree that it would probably be best, but since I have not actually gotten it to work, I can't say for sure.

  • Home use KVM switch for Ultra60 , Blade 100& Intel Boxes

    I have go a Ultra 60, a Blade100 and some Intel boxes at home. Tired of connecting and disconnecting the monitors and keep my desk full of mouses and keyboards. Any one know which type of KVM switch is suitable capable for these boxes and does not cost much? Thanks for your suggestion!

    Hello,
    <i>... Ultra 60 not easily support I still want to know if there is some option to support the Blade 100 in the KVM as well.</i>
    The Ultra 60 and other systems with the single Mini-DIN connector for the keyboard with the mouse attached require a converter to be able to attach a PS/2-keyboard and -mouse. The keyboards are available for different countries with different layouts (mappings). There are DIP-switches at the keyboard, the settings are read by the system to detect the mapping of the keyboard. There are additional function keys (Help, Stop, ..., Compose, Power On/Off, ...).
    A PS/2 keyboard lacks these switches and the additonal function keys. These features must be emulated by the adapter/emulator.
    You can attach a PC USB keyboard (and mouse) to Suns with USB keyboard port, but these keyboards still lack the addtional function keys and the capability to "tell" the system the national mapping. If the system can't detect the locale, a standard mapping (US) is used.
    The keyboard mapping can be forced when the operating system has been loaded. Review the posting by J.Keil on the Sun OS Forum about using a non-self-identifying keyboard.

  • Can anyone recommend a good KVM switch for a PC/Mac pair?

    I want to run my Mac and PC off of the same USB keyboard and mouse and use the same monitor. Naturally, to fix this problem I bought the first KVM switch I could find (how different could they be?) which was a Belkin variety. Worked ok right at first, but by day 2 I was having switching issues - the monitor kept switching between the two endlessly, though the USB seemed to switch ok. The Mac refused to sleep, though. I'm taking the Belkin switch back and trying something new.
    Has anyone had any success with a KVM switch? If so, what flavor?
    Thanks.

    Personally I love my IOGEAR USB KVMP.
    I own 2, both of them are 2 port units
    Best part of IOGEAR is they come with all cables & power supply.
    Worst part is most models dont have Audio support, so every machine needs their own speakers.
    The IOGEAR USB KVMP Miniview #GCS102U http://www.iogear.com/main.php?loc=product&Item=GCS102U that I own has ports in front for USB keyboard & USB mouse, in back are 2 USB (A/B) ports with 2 male 15pin VGA ports to connect the 2 computers, also the main monitor port has female 15pin VGA port to connect the Monitor. Cool part is you can use a DVI-VGA adapter without problems which is nice if you LCD or CRT monitor.
    2 other USB ports on the back let you share other devices like Printer and Scanner. I am able share my keyboard, trackball, monitor and printer with my newer MDD Dual G4 and an Intel Celeron 2GHz PC I have that runs Linux.
    My other KVMP drives 2 other older Macs, a BWG3 and a USB upgraded PM7600.
    The front has a button that you push there is less than 2 second delay for monitor and no software needed.
    The USB ports are all USB1.1 if I recall so the style is fairly universal if out of date.
    they also have a 4port version which I might get http://www.iogear.com/main.php?loc=product&Item=GCS634U
    Although I have not used one, http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=255941 I love the look of the new Belkin Flip. Apple sells them on the AppleStore for $80 and are touted for PC & Mac mini, although I dont see why i cant be used for any Mac. Its cool feature is it does offer Audio Support too and far as I know it has its cables too. I think it is USB2.0 since its a new product. http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/6314001/wo/0I7xL JNdSeJb3Do7Faa1XvHguGA/1.0.19.1.0.8.25.7.11.0.3
    good luck.

  • External hard disk for use with quicksilver 2002 and intel imac 24"

    i am wanting to purchase an external hard disk to be used with both a g4 and an intel imac 24".
    i am considering a seagate barracuda 500gb or 750gb and purchasing an external case separately.
    interfaces - usb2, firewire 400 and 800.
    Do I need a case with the "oxford chipset" to have it work.
    Are all seagates compatible these days.
    I was looking at a ultra ata100 hard disk. Will this disk connect automatically to the enclosure or will additional cables be required
    Is the Ice Cube Generation II Ide enclosure ok to use.
    Appreciate any help given
    dual 1 gig G4, Intel 24" Imac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Hi-
    The Ice Cube uses an Oxford chipset, (part of the external housings onboard controller) so it should be fine. The Oxford chipset has been shown to give the best compatibility and performance, thus being an desirable feature.
    http://www.pccasegear.com/prod2307.htm
    Using a Seagate Ultra ATA 100 drive should give you good, quiet, reliable service. There are no problems with the Seagate ATA drives.
    Using the drive and housing with firewire will give you the best results, and firewire will allow you to use a bootable backup on the external drive, should the need be.
    The housing comes with all the necessary cables to connect and use your external drive.
    Insert the hard drive into the housing, connect the power and the firewire, format the hard drive, and you are ready to go..........

  • A/B switch for monitor?

    Hey all--Please advise. I want to use a large monitor that is connected to a working G5 as a large monitor for my MBP. To avoid having to crawl under the desk to unhook the large monitor from the back of the G5 (as we do use the G5), I was hoping I could find something like an A/B switch that could sit on the desk, that could be switched over to the MBP when needed. Does something like this exist, and where might I find it?
    Thanks! --d

    You'd want to look for a KVM switch. They share the keyboard and mouse also. They assume you're using the same interface to connect with so you'd need an adapter for your MBP to match your G5. If you don't want to share the keyboard and mouse I recommend looking for a manual one so you don't have to use a key combo to switch displays.
    Another option would be to see if your monitor has multiple inputs and the ability to switch between them. This is the rout I use between my PC (connected via DVI) and my MBP (connected via Displayport).
    Frys would be a good place to look if you have one near you.
    Also these are two cheaper options available online (based on reviews the quality seems good):

  • KVM switch and Mavericks don't play well together

    I upgraded to Mavericks yesterday, and started having this very annoying problem with my KVM switch, which used to work fine with Mountain Lion. I've been using this KVM switch for my mac mini and PC, in order to share my keyboard and mouse, very stably for several months.
    Basically, when switching back and forth, there is a chance that ALL the peripheral devices would stop working in Mavericks. This includes my apple bluetooth keyboard and the magic touchpad, which are not related with USB (or maybe the bluetooth chip is still hooked up via USB inside).
    For some reason, screen sharing stops working too, althought the IP I was trying to connect to was the ethernet port.
    If I try to do a shutdown -r now via SSH, the system tries to shut itself down, but would get stuck with a spinning animation on the screen.
    There is nothing in the system log, no error message.
    My KVM switch is an IOGear GCS42UW6. Connected USB devices are: Apple USB keyboard and Logitech G500 mouse.

    10.8 worked well with my Mac Mini (2009) connected to IOGEAR KVM model GCS1108. My mouse is from Redmond and the keyboard is a Goldtouch.
    Mavericks has a problem with my KVM switch as well. It seems to be a USB problem.
    Case 1: The Mini's video is connected to the KVM switch -- mini DVI port to DVI. If the KVM USB cable (known good) is connected, the Mini chimes at boot but no grey Apple logo appears. LCD remains blank white. Boot does not progress.
    Case 2: The Mini's video is connected to the KVM switch, as before. If the KVM USB cable is NOT connected, the Mini chimes at boot, the grey logo appears, and boot proceeds normally. Video is fine. I  then connect the KVM USB cable to the Mini and use keyboard and mouse. KVM switching works as expected.
    If the KVM USB cable is NOT connected but a keyboard and mouse are connected directly to the Mini, the boot sequence is normal. Video works.
    The problem is not the hardware, all of which worked well with 10.8 (Mountain Lion). I would downgrade if Apple made 10.8 available from the App Store.

  • Problems Usingt External VGA Monitor Through KVM Switch

    I have my ThinkPad x201 connected to a KVM switch along with three other machines.  The KVM is attached to a monitor with a resolution of 1920x1200. 
    Does the ThinkPad have to be rebooted with the KVM switch attached to the VGA port and with the switch set to the THnkPad?
    I plug in the VGA connector with the KVM switch set to the ThinkPad.  I then press fn-F7 and get four choses: Computer Only, Duplicate, Extend and Projector Only.  I only want to display on the external monitor but Projector Only does not seem to be the correct choice although it does switch to the monitor it also puts up a message box saying the projector was not found.  When I go to change the resolution I am offen limited to 1680 x 1050.  Other times I can set it to 1900 x 1200.
    When I switch the KVM to another machine I hear a tone from the ThinkPad that indicates something has changed.  Then when I switch the KVM back to the ThinkPad I briefly see the display on the monitor at a lower resolution and then the monitor goes dark and the ThinkPad screen lights up.
    I have also tried Extend mode with the output set to go only to the monitor.  Again, if I switch the KVM away from the ThinkPad I hear a tone from the ThinkPad.  When I switch the KVM back to the ThinkPad I again briefly see the display on the monitor at a lower resoulution and the the monitor goes blank and the ThinkPad's display lights up.
    Is there a way around this behavior that will stop the ThinkPad from switching its output or can an external monitor only be used if it is directly connected to the ThinkPad?

    I am also having the same problem with a ThinkPad T420s and a Trendnet TK-409 KVM. This KVM has worked for so many other laptops and desktops, I find it difficult to believe the ThinkPad would not work with a KVM - particularly this one. Any suggestions and help would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

    If you mean you want to send video from another computer to the iMac display,
    the answer is: NO WAY. iMacs have no video input; the mini-DVI is output-only.
    If you want to send iMac video to a shared external monitor, it might work -- if
    you can find a KVM switch for a USB keyboard & mouse.

  • Using a KVM switch between the Mini and a PC

    I've just bought a Mini to try out the whole Mac experience.
    I'm having trouble getting a KVM switch to work with the Mac.
    I have a Tripp Lite B034-002-R KVM switch to share between the Mini and my WinXP PC. The switch changes over to the other computer when you press NUM LOCK twice within 2 seconds. This is working in the PC (i.e. switching from the PC to the Mac is fine) but is not working in the Mac (i.e. the switch doesn't change from the Mac to the PC).
    I have a MS "Natural Keyboard Pro" USB keyboard.
    Is the NUM LOCK key somehow disabled or something on the Mac? I'm hoping there's some knob I can turn to get this working.
    Thanks for your help,
    Tom

    I bought an IOGEAR GCS632U KVM switch to move between my Mini and Windows XP Pro PC. The keyboard is an Apple Pro. The switch was perfect for several days, then every attempt at invoking the hot key mode would fail; resetting the switch would not correct the problem. IOGEAR Support had me try another keyboard, which is the current standard Apple wired keyboard (the $30 one); it had the same problem as the Pro keyboard. Also we tried other things, but all failed. Sent the KVM switch to IOGEAR and they sent me a new one. After two days using the new switch, the keyboard malfunctioned; this time it was the backward delete key that failed. Same problem using other Apple keyboard. IOGEAR Support, after going through the same previous routine in which nothing succeeded in correcting the problem, tells me to return the switch and they will send me another. Based on my experience, apparently the GCS632U model has an incompatibility problem with (some?) Apple keyboards. This is confirmed by two posts on other discussion groups sites. Also, IOGEAR Support would almost admit that to be the case. They suggested that I use a generic keyboard, but I refuse to buy one just to use that KVM switch. IOGEAR should post the potential problem on their website as a warning.
    Does anyone out there know from experience that a particular IOGEAR model does work with an Apple keyboard? IOGEAR Support says that they will send me a different model if I pay the difference. Or can anyone give me the brand name and model number of any KVM switch known to be compatible with Apple keyboards (particularly one that costs less thatn $75)? A ConnectPro 2-port USB KVM switch will work, according to another discussion group post. Any advice or information will be much appreciated.
