The problem here was the message: WARNING: exec_method: show-children may crash the system since a program is currently running. upon initially setting the virtual key to "on" on a domain. Apparently this message is the same as the old warning message on the Enterprise-class systems telling you to do a reset-all lest you hang the system. The solution is to set auto-boot? to false, then reset the system. Thanks to Fredrik Robertsson and Chris Buesgens. --Joe -----Original Message----- From: Walker, Joseph M [mailto:joseph.m.walker@lmco.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2001 9:54 AM To: sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org Subject: SunFire 6800 Problem Hello, We're trying to set up our Sun Fire 6800 for the first time and are getting an unusual error. All four domains are configured the same: each as one system board with 2 CPUs and 4 GB of RAM, and one IO board. Two of the domains (C & D) come up and work just fine. The other two act strange at the OK prompt. We are unable to boot off either disks or CDs. We tried to do a probe-scsi-all to ensure connection to the disks. Although we do see the disks, we also get the following message back from the OBP when we run probe-scsi-all: WARNING: exec_method: show-children may crash the system since a program is currently running. Has anyone seen anything like this? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. -- Joe Walker Lockheed Martin Corp. _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Mon Jul 16 17:24:38 2001
