[SunHELP] V240 console port doesn't respond

[Vermette, Matt Spawar (723)]

What I do in this case is this.  Pull the boot drive, so the system will not boot up and will return you to an "ok" prompt.
 
Then, I get a console cable, and use the LOM.  When you get a "lom" prompt, issue a command: "Prese <ESC> key, then "#", then ".".  This should get you to a "console" prompt.  Set your input-device to ttya, set your output-device to ttya.  Then issue "reset-all"
 
On a V240, you should not need a null modem cable, you should use a console cable.  If the V240 has a Serial A/B port, then you can use a null modem cable to access but if I recall, they do not.

	Hi Sheldon,
	
	I'm afraid I already tried to change the default
	hardware reset to Xon/Xoff and to None as well
	in the Hyperterminal configuration, but it didn't
	help... :(((
	
	Thanks for the help!
	
	Regards,
	
	John
