Goal

Sometimes, someone or something else is connected to the console of an active domain to which console access in needed.

Here we attempt to gain access to the domain A console shell on an E6900 from the master system controller, but someone or something else is already connected.
System Controller <DOMAIN>:

    Type  0  for Platform Shell

    Type  1  for domain A console
    Type  2  for domain B console
    Type  3  for domain C console
    Type  4  for domain D console

    Input: 1

Connection refused, console busy
Connection closed.

We then try to connect to the domain A console shell from the platform shell of the master SC but have the same result.
System Controller <DOMAIN>:

    Type  0  for Platform Shell

    Type  1  for domain A console
    Type  2  for domain B console
    Type  3  for domain C console
    Type  4  for domain D console

    Input: 0

Platform Shell

<DOMAIN>:SC> console a

Connection refused, console busy
Connection closed.
<DOMAIN>:SC>
