Can't get Ok prompt after break sequence

cl_32 · 11-08-2010, 03:31 PM

Hello,

I'm attempting to regain access to solaris 8 on a sunfire v210 with a lost password. After sending a break sequence through hyperterminal, I get an acknowledgement that its been received, but I don't get an OK prompt.

I am given:

rmclomv: SC Request to send Break to host.
SC Alert: SC Request to send Break to host.

Any input after that is treated as the input to the username prompt for console login (as if I hadn't sent the break at all)

Thanks for any help you can offer, I am fairly new to sun machines.

Hi,

Press "#." (without quotes) to go into lom.
Then at lom prompt type "break" to get the ok prompt.

Regards

Thanks for your response, bathory.

Unfortunately, lom console is also locked. I am looking up resetting the lom, but it seems everything online hints at having to reinstall everything (aka data compromised). Am I correct in this assumption?

Hi,

I guess you can't get in as root on the server then? Otherwise you could use scadm to reconfigure the ALOM.

It looks like the v210 has an ALOM - there is an ALOM password recovery proccess is you are able to restart the server.

Cheers,
Steve
