I hope you are pressing Return few times after executing console -f... Another thing you can try is rebooting Solaris from SSH session.

First I would try to disasemble the RSC card and use the serial port on the server to connect to the console. The first thing you need is a working connection to the console! If this is established, check the settings for the console output with printenv. Post the printenv output if you need help with the settings.

I did hit return quite a few times and also waited for sometime, but still no success.

Code:
bash-2.05# /usr/ucb/printenv
PWD=/
TZ=US/Central
HOSTNAME=solaris9
USER=root
MACHTYPE=sparc-sun-solaris2.9
LOGNAME=root
SHLVL=1
SHELL=/sbin/sh
HOSTTYPE=sparc
OSTYPE=solaris2.9
HOME=/
TERM=xterm
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
SSH_TTY=/dev/pts/1
_=/usr/ucb/printenv

I am not able to access the console through the serial or net management port.
I can ssh into the console but that's not what I want to achieve.
Thank you

What happens if you use:

Code:
SC> console

without the -f switch?

Are you saying that Solaris is up and running (multi-user) and you can login to it?

When you give the "console" command and get no response, try ctrl-Q in case the console connection is X-off'd. After that hit return several times.

If you can login to Solaris (as root) post the output of:

Code:
eeprom

if I use console
I get the same message.
The system does not respond and only responds when I press #. to log back in the ALOM.
The system is up and running and I am able to access it via ssh from putty.
I need to be able to access the console from ALOM or Net management port.

The 250 has a built-in 'remote system control' (RSC) card. The console could be redirected to that and I'm not sure if the SER-MGT port will stop working (for console) if you do redirect it.

Post the output of:

Code:
 
eeprom

which should tell us what the existing configuration is.

(If the eeprom command won't work you might need to enter its full path on the command line.)
