V240 EPROM reset
Hello all,

Does anyone know how to reset the ALOM password for Sun fire V240 or the OBP password? I was given a V240 without any password or hard drive.


Thanks

Try here ALOM Setup on Sun's V210 and V240 servers

Code:
To view setting you can use 

/usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/scadm show | grep netsc
 

and network settings of your workstation. Here is sample output from my sample V140:

# /usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/scadm show | grep netsc

netsc_tpelinktest="true"
netsc_dhcp="false"
netsc_ipaddr="10.194.128.41"
netsc_ipnetmask="255.255.240.0"
netsc_ipgateway="10.194.128.1"

but it will not show the value of important variable netsc_tpelinktest (should be true). 

/usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/scadm shownetwork

but it will not show the value of important variable netsc_tpelinktest (should be true). 

After that you need to set password for the default admin account (admin). Syntax is: 

# /usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/scadm  userpassword admin

It will prompt you for password and then again. 

After changing the parameters mentioned above you need to reset the ALOM to make changes permanent: 

# /usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/scadm resetrsc

Looks like you can reset the ALOM password once you have installed Solaris.

The problem is that I have no hard drive, thus no OS and auto boot is configure to boot from hard drive. I don't have a Sun V240 solaris install on any hard drive. I would like to start an install but can't get it to boot from cd or dvd. When I try to reset the OBP envirnment via the console magt port. I'm lock out because I don't have the ALOM password.

So even if you got it to boot from a cdrom you would still be locked out from doing an installation?

You could attach a CD-ROM at the same id as the expected boot up harddisk (normally 3 on Sun machines).
