"tip" is a solaris tool for creating a serial connection between devices. This can be used to connect a Solaris server to another Solaris server, or in my case, from a Solaris server to a 3320 disk array. This latter connection is used to access the array's firmware in order to configure devices that the Solaris server can see on the SCSI connections.
Here are some tip tips!
Connecting to a 3320 array: –
tip -38400 /dev/ttyb
When tip is running press CTRL-L to start the firmware.
In tip you can also do: –
~? show menu
~. quit tip
~# send break
