Hi all.
After 6 successful SP and BIOS update on other v20z, I've tried to
update an SUN Fire v20z BIOS (after the SP update) and now it doesn't
boot.
I followed this thread:
http://fixunix.com/sun/113979-proble...t-anymore.html
I did follow all the steps, but it seems that my BIOS was completely
erased.
This is the output of the command "inventory get all":

When I try to update the BIOS, this is what I get every time:
************************************************** *************************************************
localhost $ platform set os state update-bios /mnt/nsv-v20z-
bios_1.35.5.1/sw_images/platform/firmware/bios/V1.35.5.1/bios.sp
This command may take several minutes. Please be patient.
Bios started
Error. The operation timed out.
localhost $
************************************************** *************************************************
The SP is OK. I can connect via SSH and all. I just can't force a BIOS
update.
I've tried pretty much everything, including copying the bios.sp to
the SP's /tmp, factory resets, clear CMOS, ...
When I power on the server with a monitor, no image is shown on the
screen, not even an error code.
I wonder if anyone could give some hints on how to solve this.
Thanks in advance,
Luis Monge.
