I have questions about Sun Netra-T5220 servers. I have 6 of them and not one will drive a screen.

Of the 6x T5220s 4x have ILOM/console configured. These are the only ones we can currently talk to because no screen works.

1/ Is there a known problem with Sun Netra-T5220 servers not being able to drive screens now that they’re old? Do the video cards all fail after a certain number of years? A Sun screen and cable that work fine with a Sun-Fire-V440 do not work on any T5220. We get No Signal when plugged into the T5220s.

2/ Is there a known problem with Sun Netra-T5220 servers reading DVDs? It’s odd that both servers we tried give the same ‘The file just loaded does not appear to be executable.’ error. The OS disc was proven OK in the working Sun-Fire-V440. They are all running Solaris 10.
