Yeah,

in fact you can, but it won't help you, cause your NVRAM is flashed.
The card holds the the server host id, so you can change installed
applications with licenses to new hardware with changing the card.
Or better, if you put the discs with licensed applications in a second
v440 don't forget to change teh SSD card.

place of NVRAM

Ok, I see
That's very interesting because without SCC server shuttind down after 60 sec
I solved problem with SCC but server still can't get "ok> " prompt. It's looping in CPU test and give red exception error (RED State Exception

Error enable reg: 0000.0000.0000.0000

CPU: 0000.0000.0000.0001

TL=0000.0000.0000.0005 TT=0000.0000.0000.0010

TPC=0000.0000.f000.4200 TnPC=0000.0000.f000.4204 TSTATE=0000.0044.1500.1500)

The same result is with one, two and three CPU module(4 cpu module exist). Because of that I think this is not a CPU problem.
There are no other errors display except CPU looping and can't get ok> !!!

If a batery of nvram is low the "ok>" promt must appear.
Any advice?

I have already try "Stop-N" during the boot server and Stop-A to get ok pompt after all test PASSED without any problem.
What I can get is only ALOM pompt after pressed .# , but I have'not password and can't get OK> prompt or any other pompt except ALOM.

Where is the problem? May be someone have met this problem defore
What way I should look?
Any advice will appreciated

If you talking to your server via the ALOM card you need to type in:
Code:
console

to get through to where you can see the OK prompt (or the > prompt if the security-mode is set to something other than none).

If that does not help then try a serial connection to the first serial port, ttya (dare I suggest a Windows laptop running hyperterm or a Linux machine running mincom).

I have already tryed all this methods whithout result. There is nothing displayed when I connect to ttyb and the password for ALOM was losed. (Solaris is not installed and dasn't boot from dvd)
That's my other thread about that : https://www.unix.com/sun-solaris/1113...om-passwd.html
Any idea?
I think it is a hard and interesting situation Smilie

I have had no experience of having an ALOM card I did not know the password for or else at least root access to the server itself so I could reset it. I am wondering if removing the ALOM card and putting it into a host where you do have the root password and the appropriate packages would help (if it is a removable card)? I realise having access to an alternate machine may be a problem!

If you using Netra 440, try this :
username root or admin
with password : sfv440
