SunFire System Board Problem...

We lost all three power supplies on a SunFire 3800 and the server
died. These were replaced and power restored. This appeared to be
the beginning of our problems.

The server came to the OBP and an attempt was made to boot the domain
(this is a single domain SF3800). The root disk started reporting
lots of errors but then the system board appeared to die.

Any attempt to run showboard or showcomponent just presented dashes
for SB0.

So, we ordered a replacement system board, powered off the grid,
replaced the board and powered on the grid and all components.
things are still not right though.

When I run showcomponent it shows "SB0 has not been initialised". I
have never had to initialise an SB when I have been replacing them
before - can't find any reference to it in the platform manual either.

When I run showboards, for SB0 it comes back as "skipping failed board".

When I run showdomain the status for SB0 is "failed".

Do you think I have been sent a bad board? Or is there something I
haven't done.

I am not trying to dynamically reconfigure the domain so it should be
a cold swap of a component.

Any ideas anyone?

Cheers,

Ant.
