Sun Fire V890 - Unable to access RSC or Serial console
Hello Folks,
I am having trouble to login to rsc or serial console of V890.
The rsc2.2.3 has been configured with required parameters, resetrs and even rebooted. When serial port is connected to laptop, The hyper terminal does not get the console or POSt messages when the server is rebooting except the message "RSC Alert: Host system reset" and then nothing.
The input-device and output-device has been redicrected to rsc-console and diag-console-out is set to true.
On the other hand the net manegement port does not even ping but i can see the green link light blinking continously. The cable connected is confirmed to be connected to a working port on required subnet.
As seen below, i receive this prompt through KVM switch connection to serial port. When i try to login even with correct username and password it says invalid move s out as seen below. The prompt does not look to be right as it even displays password entered. The password entered "passw0rd" is displayed in the next "Please login" line.
Please help with suggestions as i am stuck.
RSC version 2.2.3
Please login: rsc
Please Enter password:
Invalid login.
Please login: passw0rd
Please Enter password:
Invalid login.
Please login:

sulogin
sulogin(1M) System Administration Commands sulogin(1M)
NAME
sulogin - access single-user mode
SYNOPSIS
sulogin
DESCRIPTION
The sulogin utility is automatically invoked by init when the system is first started. It prompts the user to type the root password to
enter system maintenance mode (single-user mode) or to type EOF (typically <CTRL-D>) for normal startup (multi-user mode). The user should
never directly invoke sulogin.
The sulogin utility can prompt the user to enter the root password on a variable number of serial console devices, in addition to the tra-
ditional console device. See consadm(1M) and msglog(7D) for a description of how to configure a serial device to display the single-user
login prompt.
FILES
/etc/default/sulogin Default value can be set for the following flag:
PASSREQ Determines if login requires a password. Default is PASSREQ=YES.
/etc/default/login Default value can be set for the following flag:
SLEEPTIME If present, sets the number of seconds to wait before login failure is printed to the screen and
another login attempt is allowed. Default is 4 seconds. Minimum is 0 seconds. Maximum is 5 seconds.
Both su(1M) and login(1) are affected by the value of SLEEPTIME.
