Logging in to a WPAR

Edit online

After you configure and activate a system WPAR that does not have a network connection, you can log in to it locally using the clogin command.

Note: The clogin command provides limited console support and some applications may not behave as they would under a full function console. The clogin command is primarily intended to be used to access the WPAR for maintenance to correct WPAR configuration problems. For best results, configure the WPAR to have at least a private network to enable network login mechanisms, such as rlogin and telnet.

You can log in to a WPAR as the root user or as a different user. Output for the clogin command is displayed on the console where the command was issued. When you exit the command, the command returns to the global environment.

To log in to a system WPAR for maintenance and to create a shell as the root user, run the following command:

clogin wpar_name

To log in to a system WPAR for maintenance and to create a shell as a different user, run the following command:

clogin wpar_name -l username

Note: You can also log into a system WPAR remotely by using a network-based login command, such as the rlogin command, the telnet command, or the rsh command.
