I have this server that has been working for awhile, I need now to downgrade to Solaris 8 to install a special app for VoIP devices provisioning. I started by shutting down the server with shutdown -i 0 -p 15, then once it was off, I went into the LOM port A to get my LOM port and run a boot cdrom, however, I was prompted for a password right at the LOM port A, I tried every single user name in the server, including obviously root, I tried going back in through regular bash and running a sys-unconfig, I tried everything I know, I've also tried resetting the LOM with the jumper in the motherboard, still, I am prompted for a user name and password at the LOM port A which the server refuses to take. I also noticed that the it was changing my upper-case letters to lower-case and I also noticed that I am still asked for the user name and password when I hit Ctrl-Break at the server's initial LOM bootup. Any hints are welcome, ANYTHING AT ALL will help. Thanks in advance !!! Elizac

I've made a mistake in this posting, it is Solaris 9 4/04, not Solaris 8 like posted above. I've just tried to do something else here, I've tried setting up another hard drive from a different Sun server, then I installed the LOM firmware from the secondary hard drive, what this did was to separate the LOM from the console port, I don't have the LOM prompt requesting a user name and password anymore, but I cannot boot up the server from the CD because it is not taking the boot cdrom command as the port is exclusively LOM, not console. Any more ideas?. THANKS!! :) Elizac
