You need to connect to a System Controller (SC) to manage a domain in a Sun Fire E12K, E15K, E20K or E25K. It has the System Management Services (SMS) software that allows you to control the domains.
To view the console, you use /opt/SUNWSMS/bin/console -d <domain letter or domain name> but I was having the error message “Exclusive session is in use, disconnecting”.
sms-svc@sc0:/ $ console -d domain06

Connected to Domain Server.Exclusive session is in use, disconnecting.
I asked to a friend why I was having this problem and he said that I needed to kill the other session.
sms-svc@sc0:/ $ w
9:24am up 76 day(s), 3:53, 2 users, load average: 0.91, 2.04, 1.52
User tty login@ idle JCPU PCPU what
root pts/1 9:08am 9 console -d domain06
root pts/2 9:19am w
I found out which PID is running the console, then killed it.
sms-svc@sc0:/ $ ps -ef | grep consol
root 3127 1 0 Sep 19 console 0:00 /usr/lib/saf/ttymon -g -h -p sc0-01-vix console login: -T sun -d /dev/console

sms-svc 5492 5398 0 09:09:23 pts/1 0:00 console -d domain06
sms-svc@sc0:/ $ kill 5492
Worked as expected:
sms-svc@sc0:/ $ /opt/SUNWSMS/bin/console -d domain06
