Hi all,

  We have a SUN ENTERPRISE E4500 server connected to
three daisy chained A5200 disk arrays. Veritas is used
to configure a RAID 1+0 scheme for the disk arrays( 4
volumes of filesytem type ufs) and also for mirroring
the two internal boot disks.
  On booting the machine (which has been working fine
for some months) after a hard shutdown for server room
maintenance, the solaris doesnt boot up after a
certain point. Following are the messages on the
console. It also seems a CPU/MEM board has gone
faulty(however this should not prevent booting)

and after this it just hangs

Below is vfstab output of this machine that was
backedup recently and had not undergone any changes.

Please let me know what could be probable cause and
the possible solution for the problem.
