Operating Systems Solaris V890 serial console inaccessible Post 302564443 by DukeNuke2 on Thursday 13th of October 2011 04:41:25 PM

booting in "diag" mode or removing the rsc card should redirect the output to the ttya port on the server. are you sure, you've the right cable for a serial connection? if i remember right, you'll need a "null modem" cable to connect to the 25pin port...

(the "diag" mode statement is only true with firmware higher than 4.15.x; removing of rsc card should always work)
