System console
The system console, root console or simply console is the text entry and display device for system administration messages, particularly those from the
BIOS or
boot loader, the
kernel, from the
init system and from the
system logger.On traditional
minicomputers, the console was a serial console, an
RS-232 serial link to a
terminal such as a
DEC VT100. This terminal was usually kept in a secured room since it could be used for certain privileged functions such as halting the system or selecting which media to boot from. Large
midrange systems, e.g. those from
Sun Microsystems,
Hewlett-Packard and
IBM, still use serial consoles. In larger installations, the console ports are attached to multiplexers or network-connected multiport serial servers that let an operator connect his terminal to any of the attached servers.
