Solaris

The server powers on but I cannot get past the sc prompt. When I enter "console" I get nothing. I send the command "break" before "console."

have you tried the serial port from the server and NOT from the rsc card?

I am using the "Serial Management" port on the back of the server.

Since you have the SC access now,

you can recycle the host, and have a good look at console output.

See if it stops at ok otherwise once it starts booting send a break from SC.

@DukeNuke2
It seems he is using ALOM shell not an rsc card.

@LittleLebowski
Try to switch between the ALOM Command Shell ( sc prompt ) and the OpenBoot PROM Prompt (Ok prompt).
By issuing the following command

Code:

sc> console 
ok

Other wise
You can try serial console connection to server directly ttya using null modem to some terminal emulator , You can refer to the owner's guide which it has some instruction on setting up a console


or
If nothing else works try to sit in front of server's console and make sure that you have keyboard and monitor attached to the sever.

post here again

Sorry for the time gap, guys. Hurricane and earthquakes

Sun replaced the motherboard after verifying it was dead. Everything looked great via their serial connection. Now that they've left, I still cannot get monitor output nor to the OBP.

I am using a serial cable connected to the serial management port on the server. I am trying to find the right adapter to connect to the "Serial A/B" port on the server.

How come you have said earlier Do you get the output from OpenBoot consoles on your consoles screen while they were ( I mean SUN's supoort guys ) with you then everything is okay , and you cannot get the output from consoles output while you are alone it might be terminal configuration.You can refer to the owner's guide which it instructions on setting up a console and terminals as I said in my previous post.
There are some informations some where on the net just search for it detailing SUN's serial cable pin layout scheme
