Hi Gurus
We are not able to boot a SunFire V250 machine which was built with
Solaris 9 with DiskSuite. I can't even get the machine to single user mode
and log on to it. These are my observations
a. I got into the system using a CD and also fscked all the
filesystems.
b. /var has plenty of space.
c. The permissions for wtmpx and utmpx and the ownerships are fine.
d. Don't know whether it's an hardware problem. The other interesting
part is while booting up it comes with scsi and net devices disabled.
Obviously I have got around with it by setting asr to services and then
can try booting from the disk.
e. The recommended Patch level is of 22 Oct 2004.
f. Probe-scsi-all displays all the scsi disks. devlinks and the device
paths are fine.
{1} ok boot disk -s
