Collect info before shutting down production BOX (Solaris 10)

HI,
I am learning Solaris. I need some help.. In my current company there will be some maintenance work on our production Solaris server (OS version Solaris ). So we need to shutdown the server.
1.what are the output i need to take before the shutdown .I have collected some o/p except these if you think i need to collect more o/p please let me know.
df -h
mount
cat /etc/vfstab
cat /etc/path_to_inst
showrev -p
ifconfig -a
netstat -in
netstat -rnv
prtconf -pv | grep version
cfgadm -al
prtpicl -v
iostat -E |grep -i error
2.From #zoneadm list i have seen that , there is a childzone. We have ALOM console. when we will start the global zone server from ALOM console i will fire #poweron , but how i will start the childzone .
Regards,
Ani

My recommendation would be to download/install SUNWexplo which is now part of the Solaris Tool Bundle. Run an explorer and save the output. That way you will have an explorer output if you have to open a case with the Big-O.

  • When launching Firefox, I always get a message that my previous session cannot load, even though I always go to a blank page before shutting down the program.

    When I open the Firefox browser, it tries to reload the last page/tab I was on before shutting down the program the last time. My home page is a blank page, and I always go to that before shutting down.

    I have had exactly this problem - Firefox - version 11, but when I updated all my plug-ins (go to Customize Firefox - about halfway down - '''''Check your plugins''''') and restarted Firefox the problem vanished. Hope this helps as this seems to be a fairly large issue.

  • Shut down dialog box constantly pops up

    I have a macbook air running Lion that constantly brings up the shut down dialog box.  When I click cancel it goes away for a few seconds but then returns.  Any one else have this problem or know how to solve it?
    Thank you for any help.

    I took the macbook to a repair place that was not an apple store but did repairs on macs.  They said it was the power button itself actually.  They had to replace the keyboard though.  It works totally fine now and they guaranteed it for a year.  It was a quick repair. SADLY it cost around $400.   Interestingly the repair person cautioned me to be careful of heat, to use the machine on solid surfaces and not let it overheat. 
    Just FYI,  when the lap top was BRAND NEW it had a funky keyboard problem, when you hit a button it would do other things.. so they replaced the keyboard for free, it was only a few weeks old then.  Now when this problem cropped up I took it back to apple since it had been less than a year since that replacement.  They claimed the laptop had water damage based on some kind of funky stupid sticker, the kind they stick in cell phones.  There was never any water spills on the laptop. I'm a grown person, if I had spilled something on it I would have suspected that caused the problem    Since when did THAT start...seemed really really like scam to me.  So...I think I got a lemon from the start.  This is second keyboard in less than a year.  But, it was really the powerbutton. 

  • Things to consider before shutting down the Server

    Hi,
    What are all the things to consider before shutting down the Essbase Server?
    Just we need to close the applications and Agent process or do we need to take care any other things also.
    Thanks in Advance

    In order to make sure of a soft shut down, I normally would
    - Disconnect all users
    - Prevent connections
    - Unlock all objects
    - Shut down all databases and applications
    - Shut down the Server Agent

  • How do i close all apps before shutting down-Ipad

    How do I close down all apps before shutting down iPad?

    Click the Home button once to display your Home Screens. Double click the Home button. That should display your open apps at the bottom of the screen. Press one of those icons until they wiggle and a red dot with an "x" appears appears on each icon. Press the red dot to close down each app. Press the Home button when all apps are closed. You may need to press the Home button again to get back to the normal Home Screen display.

  • At my last update I can no longer save my tabs before shutting down. Can you help?

    At my last update I can no longer save my tabs before shutting down. Can this be changed?

    Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
    Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" if you want to restore multiple windows.<br />
    You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.<br />
    Another possibility is to use:
    * [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox/Tools > Options] > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

  • Previous version had save all tabs before shutting down,which helped a lot if u open same windows always,but this is not there in the latest version I have upgraded recently.Request you to guide me if this can be accommodated in the new version.

    Previous version had save all tabs before shutting down,which helped a lot if u open same windows always,but this is not there in the latest version I have upgraded recently.Request you to guide me if this can be accommodated in the new version.

    Firefox now always stores the old session which you can access by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session".
    If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
    # Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
    # Go to the General panel
    # Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

  • Shut Down issue - box appears and disappears quickly

    Grandson downloaded MineCraft on my MAC.  I thought I had deleted all of it.  Now when I shut down, a box appears for a split second and I think it is asking if I want to abort the download.  It comes and goes very quickly.  How can I get the shutdown to stop so I click the "abort" tab?  Is there someplace else that would show me what this is doing?
    Thanks for any suggestions.

  • Mac OS X take a long time before shutting down...

    Hi everyone,
    I have a problem that I can't explain :
    My mac book pro take a long time before shutting down. I don't know why.
    When I click shut down, everything works normally.
    OS X quit my applications, the dock, the finder...
    But it's stay 10 minutes on my desktop background before the logout and finally the shutdown (what's the matter ? what does it do ?).
    I don't know what to do to find the problem...
    Maybe it's a process but I don't know how to localize it.
    What are the minimal processes in OS X (I'll try to find the problem by elimination) ?
    P.S. Sorry for my basic English... French native.
    Thank a lot for your help !

  • Removing "Shutting down" dialog box in Energy Saver mode?

    I've got an iMac using 10.4.11 running as a kiosk to play a DVD in an exhibit we have. Using the energy saver panel I can set it to start up and shut down at appropriate times. But about 5 minutes prior to shutting down there is a dialog box that pops up saying "This computer is scheduled to shut down in X minutes." It has the radio buttons to "shut down now" or "cancel," but is there anyway to remove the warning entirely? Since I've already scheduled it to shut down I don't want it to tell me it's doing what I told it do do and the box covers the screen while it's running.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    You might be able to schedule an Applescript via iCal to do the shutdown.
    There's a possible Applescript listed here:
    http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/forums/viewthread/3605/#36954
    and some advice about using iCal for running scripts here:
    http://www.hawkwings.net/2005/12/09/make-an-ical-event-run-an-applescript/
    I'm not very familiar with this sort of thing, and I don't know if it would work.

  • Lion 10.7.5 constant crashing right before shut down?

    I have about had it with the Mac store, so I am going to try my luck here.
    I bought a Mac Pro (just the tower) about 8 months ago, and since then I have had the problem of getting the "grey" screen/crash right when it's about to shut down (when the screen goes white).  I ignored it for a while, until two weeks ago it finally died and I lost everything. Sent it to the Mac store.  They said they would put in a new logicboard and hard drive.  Got it back.  They lied to me and just reinstalled Mountain Lion (even though I had Lion before).  Next day, it did it again after shutting down.  Everything lost.  Go back to the store.  They finally do what they told me they would do in the beginning, and put in a new hard drive.  Going back to work today, and as I am closing out, it crashes again!  This time I did not lose my files when restarting, but I am pretty sure I will after a few reboots. 
    Has any one experienced the same problem, and could shed some light on how to fix this?  The only extra programs I have installed are Photoshop CS6 Design Standard and Office Mac 2011.

    Yep the RAM was the problem, but the problem was not the Mac.  The problem was Photoshop CS6.  Thanks for your help!  I would have never looked at the RAM, if you didn't suggest it.
    In case anyone encounters the same problem...
    For whatever reason, it's latest version has a memory leak and keeps eating away at the RAM when in use.  Even when idle, it would slowly eat away at the free RAM.  Turning the program off, and putting it's usage to about 45% helps (must manual do in Photoshop's Preferences).  However, this does not solve the problem entirely.  Activity Monitor has to be left open, so one can keep an eye on how much RAM is left during it's usage.  It's best to restart the program when the Active is over half the pie chart.  It's surprising that Adobe has not fixed this for months...

  • Sharp sound after start up and before shut down.

    Hello. I'm on Dell XPS L401x laptop with JBL speakers. Earlier I had Arch Linux installed. I am setting it up again after hard drive crash. I have Gnome 3 installed and sound is being managed by PulseAudio - Alas setup.
    Problem is that, whenever I boot up the laptop, there is sharp loud sound as if speakers were just powered on. Same sound pulse is heard just before the machine shuts down. Similar behaviour when I suspend it. Apparently, its a power issue. Speakers are being powered up and down, giving out the sound. But the sound is so sharp, that I'm afraid that it will break my speakers. Any solution to this? I am not using any power extra utilities yet.

    I was so frustrated yesterday that I didn't even put enough information in OP - my bad. So, I'll put here whatever I've done.
    First thing, I added a line to disable power save to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
    After this, my startup pop vanished. However, suspend pop, resume pop and shutdown pop were still there.
    Then I went ahead and edited file /etc/conf.d/alsa and set value of 'power off on shutdown' to "yes". This setting apparently mutes the speakers before powering the machine down. After this, my shutdown pops are gone. However, my machine by defult starts muted, which is annoying.
    Anyway, I removed the powersave option from modeprobe.conf and start up pop is still gone.
    So, current state is: No startup problem. Loud pops while suspend, resume and shutdown. Shutdown pop is removed by editing /etc/conf.d/alsa:
    # Whether to mute the master volume when stopped ("yes" or "no").
    # Useful for bad audio cards which make a noise on system poweroff.
    MUTE_VOLUME="yes"

    For the "before shutdown" pop - you may have to hack your initscripts so that the ALSA modules *don't* get unloaded.
    As a bit of reassurance, I've never heard of these annoying pops being the cause of physical damage.
    Its really nice to see you here brebs. I have been reading your posts about this yesterday. When you ask me to hack initscripts, exactly what is to be done. Will this work for suspend-resume. And thanks for the reassurance, but mine is less like a 'pop' and more like a spike!
    One more important thing! On my earlier setup, I DO NOT remember using pulseaudio at all. Apparently, Alsa was managing everything directly. Is pulseaudio really needed? My experience wasn't particularly pleasant with it. Firstly, it defaults my sound to HDMI soundcard and I'm unable to hear anything. Secondy, nder input device, it does not list my microphone unless I select 'all input devices' from the dropdown on bottom of pulseaudio volume control. Thirdly, in applications like skype and google video call, I have to manually go to pulseaudio and tell it to choose the internal microphone of my laptop. Otherwise, it loves to take input from HDMI card!

  • Shut down dialog box

    On an intermittent basis (but every day) I am getting the shutdown dialog box appearing accompanied by the voice instruction requesting whether I want to shut down the computer down. Despite selecting cancel each time the box still pops up again. This can go on for several iterations.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance
    Roger

    I've never heard of that happening. My best guess would be that the power button is faulty or sticking or something along those lines. If that is the case, you could take it to the Apple Store, but the experience tends to be that they can't recreate any "intermittent" errors, so try to find some way of documenting it if you can.

  • Closed all apps before shut down then morning boot, opened Firefox says "well, this is embarrassing". Why?

    I have a new HP and Windows 7. I always close my apps before nightly shut down. In the morning, I open Firefox, Thunderbird, and Sunbird first. Lately Firefox has been coming up with the very polite error message: "Well, this is embarrassing." Then it says it can't reload the session.

    Hi,
    The definite way to properly close Firefox is via the '''Firefox''' button Exit or '''File''' ('''Alt''' + '''F''') > '''Exit'''. Please also note that plugins may cause a slight delay in the shutdown sequence of Firefox. So it could be that Windows shuts down before Firefox completely exits. You can check if '''firefox.exe''' is still running by right-clicking on the Windows Taskbar and '''Start Task manager''', click the '''Processes''' tab. Also, check for '''plugincontainer.exe'''. If Firefox is taking a long time to exit, right-click on the '''plugincontainer.exe''' and '''End Process'''.
