Sun v215 ALOM Reset

Hi all,

I got a v215 but the login credentials are unknown. I plug the serial management RS232-RJ45 and get the output on the terminal. I reseted NVRAM and battery but I can't use the default login still. After these operations the output from boot is as such ;

Code:
ALOM POST 1.0
   Status = 00007fff

Returned from Boot Monitor and Handshake

Please login:

Serial line login timeout, returns to console stream.

Enter #. to return to ALOM.

SC Alert: SC Request to send Break to host.

Waiting a couple of minutes at login prompt should lead to sc> but it is not the case here. I also used break for this purpose without luck.

What do you think might be going on ?

As your console output says, entering the two characters:

Code:
 
 #.

should land you at the:

Code:
sc>

prompt. Perhaps enter a carriage return there to get a response.

After I type

Code:
#.

and press return, I get the login prompt back again.

But that should be a ALOM login prompt.

You are using the serial console terminal?

Post the login prompt so we can see what it looks like.

If you've reset the ALOM then the login credentials (userid/password) should be either:

admin/changeme

or

root/changeme
