I recently got my hands on a Sun Fire T-2000 server, second hand. I can connect to the ALOM using the serial port, but I cannot connect to it over the network. Here are the settings that I have:
sc> showsc

parameter value

if_network true
if_connection telnet
if_emailalerts false
netsc_dhcp false

sc_powerondelay false
sc_powerstatememory false
sc_clipasswdecho true
sc_cliprompt sc
sc_clitimeout 0
sc_clieventlevel 2
sc_backupuserdata true
diag_trigger power-on-reset error-reset
diag_verbosity normal
diag_level min
diag_mode normal
sys_autorunonerror false
sys_autorestart reset
sys_eventlevel 2
ser_baudrate 9600
ser_parity none
ser_stopbits 1
ser_data 8
With these settings, I cannot connect to the ALOM over the network. I have tried both ssh and telnet and neither one is working. Now before someone says something about the fact that the ALOM should not be connected to a network, or the same network as everything else, this is at my home so I'm not really worried about security of the server. I currently have OpenBSD install on the HD.
--EDIT--
I have tried to ping the network port and cannot. I'm beginning to think that the port may be faulty. However, I have a 100mbps full-duplex established on the switch for that port, which doesn't make sense unless the port failed in such a way that frames aren't being sent/received.
I bought this machine because it has a multi-core UltraSPARC processor in it. This will allow me to test out my software on a big endian machine.
--EDIT--
I reran the VxDiags from ALOM and posted the result below.

It looks like all the diagnostics pass, so I don't know what to think.
