On some Sun systems you could get locked out of console if the RSC is already the default serial (or IP based) console, and if the RSC admin account is unknown, you may even have to reset the RSC using the switches on the card itself. If it's not too much of a hazzle, I'd put the card back in and verify the RSC settings from the OS (assuming you have access to it when you boot it up all the way). If you have the RSC command tools loaded, you can run the "scadm" command:
cd /usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin ./scadm help (for a list of commands) ./scadm show (for display all variables) ./scadm set <variable> (to make changes) >From those commands you want to make sure IP console is not enabled, and netsc_dhcp is set to false (unless you want to connect via IP to it) If IP (static or dhcp) is not set on the RSC, then you should try setting your serial session through the RSC port. Obviously if the right speed or control bits are not used, you may be unable to get any output at all. I'd check the specific serial settings for that v880 model standard serial port, and RSC. -m On Fri, Jan 16, 2009 at 11:26 AM, Nicholas Leippe <[email protected]> wrote: > On Fri Jan 16 2009 11:16:13 MT Morales wrote: > > With the RSC card in, have you already tried hooking your serial > connection > > (i.e. hyperterm or minicom) to the RSC port and verified console is not > > redirected to it? > > I have removed the RSC card entirely--with the idea of eliminating > variables. > > > > > /* > PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net > Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug > Don't fear the penguin. > */ > /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
