V880 server is not booting

Hi,
The v880 server is not booting due to can't open boot_archive error throughing. Please help me...
Problem Description:
I have done solaris multi-pathing (using stmsboot -e command). After multipathing the server is continuously rebooting due to following error
"panic[cpu3]/thread=2a100047cc0: BAD TRAP: type=31 rp=2a100047450 addr=80 mmu_fsr=0 occurred in module "vxdmp" due to a NULL pointer dereference"
then I have edited the following /kernel/drv/fp.conf to disable multipathing. But after edited the server is not booting and given the error can't open boot_archive
log:
Hostname: ckplqa
SUNW,eri0 : 100 Mbps full duplex link up
panic[cpu3]/thread=2a100047cc0: BAD TRAP: type=31 rp=2a100047450 addr=80 mmu_fsr=0 occurred in module "vxdmp" due to a NULL pointer dereference

Hi,
My question is how to recover boot block on the solaris 10.
I have done the steps as mentioned below
1. tried to update bootblk using installboot
2. tried to update boot-archive using bootadm. but i can't to do this as given error"/a/: not a boot archive based Solaris instance"
So I can't recover the boot-archive file. Please suggest if you have any steps to recover the boot-archive.
Note: BAD TRAP: type=31 rp=2a100047450 addr=80 mmu_fsr=0 occurred in module "vxdmp" due to a NULL pointer dereference

  • OSX 10.6.8 server will Not Boot

    Hi my 10.6.8 server will not boot.  System is a 2009 Mac pro.  I have run disk utility from the original server software install disk, ran repair disk, and repair disk permissions.  Get some acl found errors have read that they most often are erroneous, Still got the same errors after permission repairs.  While booting in verbose mode get the following messages before it stops:
    kern.maxprocoeruip: 266 -> 2400

    I did read on another post here to try to reinstall the os, however when I try to install over the operating system it says I am trying to install an older os and it will not let me install in the same volume....  Although I am confident I have all the data on backups as well have timemachine backups, I would rather not have to erase and install this machine. 
    Any insight to this problem would be greatly appreciated. 

    I found that I had a bad harddrive, or at least that is what I think happened..  I did have a time machine backup as well, although in hindsight, I should have made some manual backups of my open directory and the databases hosted on the server.  In any case I ended up purchasing "server grade" harddrives and reinstalling the OS on to the new blank hard drives, I was then able to recover from my time machine backup, however, I did have the issue of the restore going over 100%, I tried this several times and the same result with no end after hours and hours.   After reading through various forums I found that clicking the mouse button for about 10 minutes straight once it hit 100% finally worked, I was lucky that the Time machine backup had good data on it since I have read several posts saying that Time machine doesn;t backup directoies or any "open files" very well, however I had no problems after recovering from the backup.  I do however now backup or archive my directory everyday, and I rely on Filemaker to backup its own databases, however I still use time machine as well... 

  • Server does not boot

    Dear Sir
    I have use Main Server PowerEdge 1900 with operating system SQL Server 2008 r2 the  main server does not boot after reading all system files a message appear choose recovery mood
    1- restore from system image recovery
    2- Command Prompt
    i have important data in it and a database runing in the server machine how can i boot the server properly without having any backup.
    How can i pick up data from command prompt.

    The bad part is that you do not have backups. The good part is that you can recover your data by using a bootable device and copying them to another location.
    However, for the DB part, you might want to ask them here: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/home?forum=sqldisasterrecovery&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc

  • Server will not boot after update !! Help needed fast !!

    I have a new (Aug 2005) XServe G5, running 4.3.
    Active Directory integrated, stores home folders (AFP), manages preferences and 5 print queues for 55 Mac OS X.4.3 clients and 200 users.
    It downloaded the 4.4 update, unchecked the OS 4.4 update (I think was my first mistake), restarted. Now, at boot up, about the moment the apple would appear (maybe it appears for a split second) all I get is the ugly not sign.
    -- Am able to boot to external firewire drive
    -- Drive shows as boot option
    -- Disk repair reported no problems to fix
    -- Can not find any log entries after last shut down. No service ever starts for any entries to be made.
    -- Applied the 4.4 update successfully while booted from external fw drive, no effect. Startup disk reports system to be OS X Server 4.4 and lists as a boot option.
    -- Drive behaves same when transferred to my G5 tower: big not sign.
    What other steps can I do to troubleshoot this boot problem? If I don't get this server up this weekend, I'll get roasted by an angry mob.
    Any suggestions are welcomed and greatly appreciated.

    Eeh...
    Always clone the existing system prior to updating it. Do so when the server is not in use, shut off services where possible (you want it to be as quiescent as possible).
    Mike Bombich (at Apple) describes how you can do this via the command-line, which I prefer for this purpose (you can stagger the process):
    http://www.bombich.com/mactips/image.html
    Now then:
    Have you booted from the install CD and used Disk Utility to run Repair Permissions ? That should be your first step.
    It may change nothing, but can you boot into Safe mode ? Hold down the Shift key at powerup and keep holding it until you see: "Safe boot"
    If you CAN get it booted in that state, then run the 10.4.4 COMBO updater
    you need to run the combo updater at this point. After doing so, use Disk Utility to run repair permissions on the boot drive itself, and then reboot.
    Otherwise, start it in Target Disk Mode as you did before, connect it to a unit running 10.4.4, and run the /combo/ 10.4.4 Server updator (NOT client, of course) onto the server's mounted hard drive.
    I'm not sure you can do this while running 10.4.x client. You may need to do a quick install of 10.4 server (say onto a Firewire drive), boot your spare Mac from it, and -then- mount the server via Firewire target mode, and apply the 10.4.4 server combo updater.
    Good luck !

  • Windows Server 2012 not booting as a Hyper V guest

    Hi all,
    As always the best laid plans go to crap and so I need help from the best in the business, aka - all of you.
    I am installing Windows 2012 Server Standard as a VM in Hyper V. I initially created it as a Vm in Server 2008 however for some reason the vm would not boot at a certain point . I installed the operating system fine from an ISO from the VLSC - rebooted fine
    etc. As soon as I started to create roles (just IIS with .net 3.5 roles etc) - no directory services, its purely operating as a web and sql server... - at some point it wont boot. I start the VM, connect to it - get the windows 2012 splash screen however it
    won't boot to the login screen. I can see CPU action for a period of time then NOTHING! - blank screen - no connection - no rdp.
    I thought it was because of incompatibility between 2012 guest and 2008 host. So I upgraded the host to 2012 Hyper V Server Core (you know, the free one). That in itself was fine, all worked perfectly - all my 2008 Vm's are fine and operate well. I reinstalled
    2012 Standard... Once again rebooted fine, however as soon as I added any roles or services (IIS) it just wont boot past the splash screen. I have installed VM guest drivers etc prior to installing roles and services - Nothing! Same behaviour, boots - see
    splash - see CPU activity in Hyper V Manager, then nothing.
    I can only think it's a driver issue perhaps or something wrong with the iso - however it does not explain why it boots fine then suddenly stops. Has anyone else experienced this? Anything I can try? I managed to install all updates etc before this happened.
    I really dont want to keep re installing. I havent activated yet as I wanted to make sure it worked before I did if that is a factor?

    Hi sounds very unusual, the only thing I can think of initially are the integration services installed, and is the network working correctly. if you have a Server physical or virtual on a domain, with network connectivity issues is can take an age to boot.
    Try disabling the network adapter from the hardware settings and see if the Virtual server boots. if so, then you need to look at network side.
    Also does you system have enough resource, IE, Ram, and CPU.

  • Boot failed: solaris server does not boot

    Hi All,
    one of my support person who has administrator previlages tried move the contents of root to trash directory, in the middle it got hung,and he had restrted the server.
    Now the solaris does not boot. It says
    boot failed
    Enter Filename [platform/sun4v/kernel/sparcv9/unix]
    and what ever we enter there it says boot cannot read.
    Please suggest some workaround, nearly 200 users are down, actually it is our licnese server.

    Hi,
    What you could try is the following :
    Boot the system from the solaris cd into single user mode.
    Find out what the disk is you need to mount and mount it under /a
    After you have done this you can see if you can move back the stuff that was moved from the root directory to the trash.
    If that works then you could try and boot again from the disk to see if everything works again.

  • Windows Server 2008 not booting (\windows\system32\winload.exe - Status: 0xc000000e)

    i have a Hp Server with two HDDs configured RAID 1 and installed Win Server 2008, after a power failure it is not booting and showing start up error Status: 0xc000000e.
    tried all the methods showing on the same error page, when i am trying with CMD from Window DVD (repair option) i am getting only X:\ drive, it is not showing my C:\ and D:\. when i use Windows 7 DVD (just for troubleshoot) and select new install option,
    it is showing my C:\ and D:\ with my correct Disk Usage and Free space, (so, my Data and Windows is available)
    i saw lots of way to fix the issue, but without accessing to C:\ drive, how can i fix it? please anyone can help on this?

    Hi,
    0xC000000E, or STATUS_NO_SUCH_DEVICE: the drive went unavailable, possibly a bad hard drive, disk array, and/or controller card.
    Please also contact your hardware vendor HP to check the health of your hard disks.

  • Server will not boot up

    Received "1d.so.1 malloc failed killed just before my system went down. Booted into single user with the cd, fsck on unstable disk, tried rebooting the system back into multi- user, but it still won't boot up.
    Anyone knows what else I should be doing.

    What error messages does it give when you boot.

  • Solaris 10 - system hung, and now will not boot

    I have a SunFire V240 with 2 73 SCSI disks running Solaris 10. Only the first disk has been formatted. The box was newly installed last week.
    It had 2 zones set up on it and one of them was running a service out of it (called knowledgetree). I came in this morning (monday), and although I could ping the main server and the zone, I could not ssh to the box. I hooked up a console cable to the box, and there was nothing.
    I then went to the OK prompt and typed boot.
    It said
    1} ok boot disk2
    Boot device: /pci@1c,600000/scsi@2/disk@0,0:a File and args:
    Can't open boot device
    {1} ok
    I then typed
    {1} ok setenv auto-boot? false
    auto-boot? = false
    {1} ok reset-all
    followed by
    {1}ok probe-scsi
    Target 1
    Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST373207LSUN72G 045A
    If I type the following I get the results below.
    {1} ok show-disks
    a) /pci@1c,600000/scsi@2,1/disk
    b) /pci@1c,600000/scsi@2/disk
    c) /pci@1e,600000/ide@d/cdrom
    d) /pci@1e,600000/ide@d/disk
    q) NO SELECTION
    Enter Selection, q to quit: a
    /pci@1c,600000/scsi@2,1/disk has been selected.
    Type ^Y ( Control-Y ) to insert it in the command line.
    e.g. ok nvalias mydev ^Y
    for creating devalias mydev for /pci@1c,600000/scsi@2,1/disk
    Does anyone have any ideas on what happened, or what I have to do to get the OS to boot again. I am a bit of a nubie when it comes to Solaris .... I am not sure what happened, or why all of the sudden the server will not boot.
    Thanks for the help
    Peter

    Usually you can just do a "boot disk" or "boot disk1"
    devalias will show you what actually devices the short alias map too.
    It might be a faulty drive bay.
    Try pulling it out of one and plugging it into another.
    The do the probe-scsi again.
    Then put it back into the first to confirm....

  • CRIO startup directory was typed STARTUP and now will not boot. How do I recover from this error or how do I rename the directory when my proxy server is read only due no startup files?

    I loaded files on the cRIO but used upper case letters for the startup directory.  Now I cannot access the RIO since it didn't boot. The proxy server comes up read-only so I can't reload the files or change the directory.  I tried the RS232 port but I can't get it to respond to commands even though I can see the processor boot.

  • Windows Server 2008 R2 Does not boot When Back up drive removed

    I have a windows Server 2008 R2 Standard server RAID 10 installed.  I  have a non raid drive installed as the backup HD.  The Backup drive is now failing. When I went to switch it with a new one the system does not boot and is asking for
    a boot drive.  I have been searching for solutions and cannot find any.  Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Could you confirm if your boot volume is on that non-RAID disk (maybe 2 volumes on that disk and one of them is the boot volume)?
    At current situation, first please test to connect the failed disk back to the device and see if it will help.
    Or you may need to run a boot-up repair with an installation disk.

    Thanks for getting back to me! I think you are right in that this would be a question more geared toward to the Peoplesoft folks. The post is there, so thank you for that. However, you noted a key observation that led me to want to investigate more. If we look at a past post that speaks to your observation (ORACLE Initialization or shutdown in progress I believe it gave me more clues to go by. I do shared the same thought as the poster in that, the DB should have started as the service started for the DB as already. At any rate, I ran the instructed command in SQL, I got this script:

  • Win server 2003 VM guest does not boot up

    A little background here: I use this backup software "ShadwProtect" to backup my vm guest on one of my ESXIhost and restored it in another site's ESXI host.
    The first time I boot up, I faced an error "Error on boot: "STOP c0000135 unable to locate component csrsrv.dll not found reinstalling the application may fix the problem".
    After trying out for days, I figured from forum that there is a conflict in one of the Windows Updates for virtual environment (Source: https://goo.gl/wrssyO) , that KB3045999 caused this problem for them and upon uninstalling this win update, they managed to boot up successfully. For my situation, it was a VM in ESXI and I totally could not boot into normal windows at all. So I bootup using Windows 2003 Recovery CD ISO and managed to get into the CMD. What I did was deleting the problematic KB using CLI.
    "C:\Windows\$NTUninstallKB3045999$\spuninst\BATCH spuninst.txt"
    This command is to uninstall the KB from the OS itself (Source: How to uninstall a hotfix or Service Pack via the Recovery Console?).
    After doing so, I rebooted and it no longer get the error above. But instead, it seems to freeze when loading Windows.
    After which I did a chkdsk /r but to no avail, still getting the same freeze.
    What I noticed is that I am able to get into normal safe mode, but not Safe Mode with networking or Safe Mode with cmd prompt.
    I have tried everything I could but I have run out of ideas.. This is driving me insane!
    I have managed to Download the vmdk file from the original site, the file I copied out got an additional "xxx-flat" in it.. the additional flat word.. I have not tried to load the VMDK into my current VM yet..
    Is there any advice that I can get myself out of this mess?
    Sorry for the long winded story..

    > I'm currently using windows 7. So anyways it tells me to shut down. I boot it again and then it only gives me 2 options: startup repair or run windows normally. When i try run windows normally it says "starting windows" but it never boots.
    It looks like the Windows OS was muddled up Im not quite sure why but such things happens simply
    However, you can try to recover the notebook using the HDD recovery option. But this will work only, if you didnt format the HDD and didnt delete the HDD recovery partition.
    So try to power up the unit, press F8, choose repair my computer and then choose Toshiba recovery.
    Note; this will format the currently system partition which means that you will lose the files on the C partition.
