Sorry about the lack of true classic computing content to this
question, but it does relate to a little bit older machine, a
Sunfire V100...
I purchased one of these from eBay in hopes of possibly upgrading
my home firewall and discovered that the machine has a Lights-Out-
Management (LOM) CPU controlling the main UltraSPARC IIi processor.
The LOM runs a monitor program (LOMlite) which on this particular
machine is currently configured to require a login/password when
communicating with the machine over the console serial port.
From seemingly endless google searching, it sounds like
I should be
able to break out of the LOMlite login/password cycle by resetting
the machine with the JP13 jumper. When I do this, LOM is reset, a
few seemingly ok diagnostic messages are emitted, and then the login
password are again requested.
I was unable to determine if there is some sort of default login
password.
The only path seems to be to possibly load the PATA IDE hard drive
with Solaris, and then use the Solaris tools to reset the LOM setup.
Does anyone on this list have any experience with this machine?
