sorry, system is hung so i can't give any command to server.

Now i am not getting ok prompt also(i have changed output-device to screen and after that it is not coming up, i mean not coming till ok prompt).

earlier output device was tty screen. can you please help me how to resolve this.

Did you change the input-device also? If not, the serial line should still work for input and you can try (blind) to set the output-device back to TTY. You can also try to type set-defaults and reset-all after that. If nothing works, you have to get a screen connected to the system.

No, i didn't change input device. it is as below.

input-device tty keyboard keyboard

i can't modify the settings becase it is not taking any commands (server getting stuck at some point and not giving ok-prompt even with the break). Using serial port i can see the log, server will come upto some point and then stuck where it will not take any commands.

can you please give some more info on how to connect screen, u mean monitor? if so, i have connected and monitor showing "input not supported".

i can give the log if needed.

What DukeNuke2 has said is that, if you haven't changed the input device, imagine that you do have an "ok" prompt and type the command "blind". If the hardware IS listening to the input device (keyboard) you can still set the output device. Worth a try.

Thank you, it seems there is hardware problem too. Checking with the sun support.
