Does your site have any managed CISCO switches? If so, the cable from that will work. You say that you don't have a PC serial port available but I see no reason why you couldn't plug the CISCO cable directly into a USB serial adapter instead of a serial port.
I take it that you have seen this thread (which I was involved in some weeks ago):
[SOLVED] Console connection to V240
I would guess that your issue is with the RJ45 (Sun) pin-out versus the actual cable you are using. If you can steal a CISCO cable (bearing in mind that although network support teams get loads of these, they usually bin them all except the ones they need) it might provide a solution. However, if you could just borrow one it would prove a point.

scconf_transp_adap_ibd(1M) System Administration Commands scconf_transp_adap_ibd(1M)
NAME
scconf_transp_adap_ibd - configure the InfiniBand (ibd) transport adapter
DESCRIPTION
Note -
Beginning with the Sun Cluster 3.2 release, Sun Cluster software includes an object-oriented command set. Although Sun Cluster software
still supports the original command set, Sun Cluster procedural documentation uses only the object-oriented command set. For more infor-
mation about the object-oriented command set, see the Intro(1CL) man page.
You can configure ibd adapters as cluster transport adapters. These adapters can only be used with transport type dlpi.
The ibd adapter connects to an InfiniBand transport switch. The connection is made through a transport cable.
When the endpoints of the transport cable are configured by using scconf, scinstall, or other tools, you are asked to specify a port name
on the transport switch. You can provide any port name, or accept the default, as long as the name is unique for the switch.
The default is to set the port name to the node ID that hosts the adapter at the other end of the cable.
There are no user-configurable properties for cluster transport adapters of this type.
