Console not shared

I have exactly the same problem on my V120. I can talk to the LOM just fine through the Serial A/LOM port. But, any attempt to get to the console (reset, break, console commands) just prints "Console is not shared". Consequently, I can't boot this computer. The instructions at the end of chapter 8 of the "Server User's Guide" (<a href="http://supportforum.sun.com/hardware/index.php?t=emailconf&amp;conf_k ey=2576984c22e4fddb18e9aebabaf8afe8" target="_blank"> http://supportforum.sun.com/hardware/index.php?t=emailconf&a mp;conf_key=2576984c22e4fddb18e9aebabaf8afe8</a>)

do not help in this situation as they assume you are at the Solaris prompt in order to set the console in shared mode. Obviously, if you can't boot the computer to get to Solaris, you can't set this mode. There doesn't seem to be a way to activate shared mode only from the LOM, at least not a documented one.

Help!

Hello!!

I am having the exact same issue that is depicted in this forum. However, I do not have a Service Contract with Sun, so the document that is listed at the bottom of the forum is not available to me.

I cannot believe Sun sells such expensive servers and then we have to pay extra for support.... Anyways, I just would like to know if you were able to resolve the issue here or if you could kindly provide me the information from the link I have no access to.

I've tried everything I know so far to resolve this issue and I always get the same message from LOM: Console is not shared, I'm going nuts already !!

Thanks in advance for the help !!

Zac
