Today I could see that after executing start /SP/console - something started happening ... some processes and some initializing... after may be around 2 minutes... and after asking about starting types:

Solaris
Solaris serial console ttya
Solaris seial console ttyb

I have tried with all three options... But just a cursor is visible and host is still not connecting!!!

Please advice.

ok.
Let's do this from the beginning.

Log into the iLOM
reset the iLOM.
Code:
-> reset /SP
This will kick you out.
Wait ~30 seconds.
Log back in.
Reset the host.
Code:
 -> reset /SYS
Switch to the system console
Code:
 -> start /SP/console
Do you get to an ok prompt, a small menu with 3 options, or a login prompt?

Hello,

As I face exactly the same than Panchpan's one, I can answer your question, System Shock :
I did the two reset, and then started the console. What I face is the boot sequence of the machine, which seems to be quite normal.

Once system has finished booting, I stil have no access to nothing. I quitted console with 'ESC (' sequence, and then I got the ILOM prompt : ->

Restarting the console through "start /SP/console" stil gives the same effect :

Code:
-> start /SP/console
Are you sure you want to start /SP/console (y/n)? y

Serial console started.  To stop, type ESC (
Keyboard seems to be inactive (seems, because if I hit the sequence key again, I return systematically to ALOM without any problem). I can type whatever I want, it does not prints to screen, nor show any actions.

I checked that system is up, and it is, but I still cannot access to console.

If you have any new idea that could be apply to be able to log into console mode, please do not hesitate.

Use the below flow and the problem will be resolved

-> stop -f /SYS
Are you sure you want to immediately stop /SYS (y/n)? y
Stopping /SYS immediately

-> start /SYS
Are you sure you want to start /SYS (y/n)? y
Starting /SYS

-> start /SP/console
Are you sure you want to start /SP/console (y/n)? y


Please keep us updated IF the issue still persists?

Thanks for the tip, but even forcing immediate stop does not lead to a correct console....

Any other clue ? Anything I could test ?

Hi,

I updated to firmware 2.0.2.1 (last version as far as I could see), but this did not change anything.

Regarding the rights, there is no user but the ones created by default, so I fear this is not a "simple" rights problem.

I'm still looking for the idea that would fix this problem...

Thanks for the help anyway !
