Hi,
We just installed the latest (as of Wednesday) recommended patch cluster
on our V880 running Solaris 8. The README says:
NAME: Solaris 8 Recommended Patch Cluster
DATE: Jun/18/03
After finishing the patch install, I forgot to do a "boot -r", and we
got flooded with picld errors:
Jun 20 09:36:57 v880 picld[66]: [ID 478985 daemon.error] ERROR running psvc_fan_fault_check_policy_0 on CPU0_PRIM_FAN (2498912)
Jun 20 09:36:57 v880 picld[66]: [ID 875627 daemon.error] No such file or directory
Shortly afterwards, we did a "boot -r" and those messages stopped.
However, now the fans all seem to be running faster than normal, and
ptrdiag, doesn't give any environmental information:
# /usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/prtdiag -v

So if the system can't monitor the temperature, I'm guessing that's why
the fans are running faster than normal.
Any ideas as to what's wrong here? Searching Sun Solve didn't turn up
anything, and neither did Google. Is this an OBP issue and should I
update the OBP?
Thanks, -John
