Now you got me. I'm connected using Putty through a Console session, I plugged a USB Keyboard and the num lock is ok. The server doesn't have a VGA or any other output video so the only way I can connect to the server is via console.
The server V880 have a console port, that I don't know the reason I can't use and the DB25 connection that is working perfectly so far.
The status know is, I'm sure the server didn't freeze, I think the session didn't move to anywhere else because there isn't another option and I'm steel in the same part of the installation problem.
Any other ideas?

Greetings,
We are interested in the sparc T4-2, but have not seen too many people using it. Has anyone had any experience with it? Please let me know if you have. We are testing out the server with Oracle applications and wanted to see how it could handle 1000 or so sessions.
Thanks,

VLOCK(1) General Commands Manual VLOCK(1)
NAME
vlock - Virtual Console lock program
SYNOPSIS
vlock
vlock [ -a,--all ] [ -c,--current ] [ -h,--help ] [ -v,--version ]
DESCRIPTION
vlock is a program to lock one or more sessions on the Linux console. This is especially useful for Linux machines which have multiple
users with access to the console. One user may lock his or her session(s) while still allowing other users to use the system on other vir-
tual consoles. If desired, the entire console may be locked and virtual console switching disabled.
By default, only the current VC (virtual console) is locked. With the -a,-all option all VCs are locked. The locked VCs cannot be
unlocked without the invoker's password or the root password. The root password will always be able to unlock any or all sessions. And,
for the paranoid, vlock makes it a trying experience for those attempting to guess the password, so unauthorized access to session(s) is
highly unlikely.
Please note that it is entirely possible to completely lock yourself out of the console with the -a,--all option if you cannot remember
your password! Unless you are able to kill vlock by logging in remotely via a serial terminal or network, a hard reset is the only method
of ``unlocking'' the display.
vlock works for console sessions primarily. However, there is support for trying to lock non-console sessions as well, but that support
has not been well tested.
OPTIONS
-a,--all
Lock all console sessions and disable VC switching.
-c,--current
Lock the current session (this is the default).
-h,--help
Print a brief help message.
-v,--version
Print the version number of vlock.
