Solaris

Now I think that we are getting somewhere!!!

I don't know what this means at all. Perhaps someone else on this forum can enlighten us???

The 'normal' setting for this is:

Do a Google search for "V250 output-device" and (preferably) get some pages of Oracle documentation and try and change that one parameter.

With that set to "mydev" I just don't know where your console is going. I must confess that I have no clue.

Searching Google it looks like that setting is valid (to send console to a graphics card):

A P P E N D I X A - Setting the Default Console Display

What is the history of the system?

Did you inherit the configuration from someone else?

Is it likely that it had a different graphics card in it which has since been removed?

The 'mydev' is an alias for a XVR-100 graphics card. Is that still in the machine?

yes it is still in the machine.
As of now I did set it to

Code:

output-device=screen

but I am still facing the same issue

if you set it to "screen" the output can for sure not go to the ALOM...

have you ever read the system documentation for the v250? if not, you can find it here:

@DukeNuke2............I see your post and I am now somewhat confused!! My understanding is that this is a 250 which has its own
idiosyncrasies. Is there more than one 250?? Is a V250 different from a Enterprise 250?

I have attached what I would use as reference material for this. See the RSC guide pages 10-11.

I would now get the OP to double-check the setting by removing all power (including the SC, ie, completely remove power) and then cold boot watching diags (in case there's a hardware fault revealed), then issue a 'poweron', followed by 'console' (needing to check that the SC is, indeed, reset with the new parameter(s) in place.

@br1an....I suggest you wait until we've agreed a course of action.

Is this the box in question??

This is the manual for the V250.....

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19088-01/...17-0900-10.pdf

Page 51 says output-device=ttya is the default.

DukeNuke2 is correct.

Good support - you people really know your way around Unix and Solaris. Bravo!!
