NCCC - Sunfire V100 / Solaris

Option 2 below seems to be the one that applicable to your situation. From: http://www.sunshack.org/data/sh/2.1.8/infoserver.central/data/syshbk/collect ions/SRDB/1-25-78349-1.html Problem Statement: On LOM, the console command does not work with the following message. In addition, console -f does not help. lom>console Console is not shared lom>console -f Console is not shared Resolution: This problem can be seen when ttya is not set as input-device and output-device on OpenBoot[TM] PROM (OBP). To enable console functionality on LOM, it is neccessary to set ttya on both parameters. There are three options to do this. Option 1 When the Solaris[TM] Operating System is running on the Sun Fire V100, it can be set up by using the eeprom command with the following instruction: 1. Login to the system as root. 2. Execute the following commands: # eeprom input-device=ttya # eeprom output-device=ttya 3. Reboot the system Option 2 When Solaris Operating is not running on the Sun Fire V100, set to the default NVRAM settings by using bootmode command on LOM. This sets ttya as a default value for input-device and output-device. Do the following in LOM: lom> bootmode reset_nvram lom> reset Option 3 When Solaris Operating System is not running and the customer does not want to change other OBP parameters, try to connect a serial terminal via the serial-B port. On this port, OBP prompt might be seen. If the ok prompt can be seen, then set the two paramters with the following instructions: ok setenv input-device ttya ok setenv output-device ttya ok reset-all
