ultra sparc 2 no video - ok prompt access

UNIX Solaris
1

I have an ultra sparc 2 with no video - I connect to it with hyperterm.
Is there a way to get to the OK prompt? I have tried control/break and that does not work.
If not is there a video card I can get to put in this box?
I have Solaris 10 installed on this machine.

Thanks

Try ~# if you are using vt100 emulation through HT.

I am using vt100 but when I tried ~# this is what I get.........
root # ~#
~#: not found

My bad... that is break using tip connection.

I have a Dell D510 laptop I use for console on my T2000 servers, and the break key is the Fn Pause/Break key and on another workstation it is the Ctrl Pause/Break.

Hopefully this will get you where you need to be.

Well since you appear to have root access, you could do an "init 0" or halt.

Halt disconnected my hyperterm access.
init 0 also disconnects my hyperterm access.

You need to be connected to serial port A so you don't loose your connection.

I finally figured out that the pci card that I put in my dell is not working.
So I just ordered one that will work with this dell pc.
Thanks for helping.:slight_smile:
