Thanks Hike, Sunmanagers.comverse & Tobias 1) it was suggested perhaps the CDROM alias is missing & we should try to boot up from the full path but it's not the issue here with our server. Anyway, the method is: ok *show-disks* . . . . . . . /pci@1e,600000/ide@d/cdrom . . . . . . . q) NO SELECTION Enter Selection, q to quit: *q *{1} ok *boot **/pci@1e,600000/ide@d/cdrom@0,0:f* 2) Tried poweroff, wait a while & poweron/boot up from CDrom & still no joy 3) login as admin at ILOM & at Service Processor prompt, tried the following : -> showfaults -v ...(& note down UUID of the disabled memory channels)... -> enablecomponents <UUID> (repeat for each channel) -> showfaults -v (this time all enabled) -> start /SP/console ok boot cdrom -s The server boots up but intermittently still 'hangs' & crashes to OBP (ok) but this time the memory channels are not disabled anymore (indicated by 'showfaults -v'). Called Sun & motherboard plus 2x1Gb DIMMS replaced. So far stable but we're running Sunvts diagnostics continuously for 2 days Tks U On 4/19/08, Tobias Nutt <tobias.nutt@gmx.de> wrote: > > sunhux G wrote: > > Tried the following : > > As "boot" will attempt to boot from disk0, > we tried "boot disk1" at ok prompt & it failed > to boot too. > > Then at ok prompt, did "reset-all" & tried boot > from the disks (with both disks inserted) again > without any success. > > Then did "boot cdrom -s" & "raidctl -l c0t0d0" > showed "Sync" status.
