Solaris 10 not booting.

Hi All,
I have Solaris 10 running on Dual Xeon,
The last time it had patches installed was March 2005.
I installed all patches from March onwards this morning, and now the machine will not boot.
I had RAID1 mirroring setup on the machine, and all it does now is complain about an "Unrecoverable read error" on the 2nd disk.
The machine never boots. If i disable the 2nd Disk in the DELL Bios, i get a kernel panic.
Also, i can't mount the root drive using
mount /dev/md/dsk/c1d0s0, it tells me that its an invalid boot device.
Both these drives were fine this morning, so i expect one of the patches has corrupted something.
If i could get into the console, i could delete the replicas and just disconnect the 2nd drive from the configuration.
Any ideas how i can get into the console on this box?
The console i have (boot interpreter) only allows me to do 1 or 2 things, no mv, rm,metadb, nothing!
help!
Mike

Hi Bob,
It's a ufs filesystem.
Here's what we get...
Rebooting with command: boot -a -v

We've removed the disk, put back a mirror and booted from there so we're running unpatched no problem.
I've put this broken disk in another server.
I believe something is broken on the original server which is highlighted by the patching.
Is there a way to check the boot process to see what this error actually means?
Cheers!

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....

Ultra 1E & OBP 3.33: solaris cd not booting.

Hi,
I got an Ultra 1E 167. It came loaded with Solaris 8 booting the 32bits kernel.I didn't know details about the way the previous owner installed and configured it.
I tried to boot the 64bit kernel and got the message: "needs OBP 3.11.1 at least to boot and run Solaris 8".
Well the OBP was at version 3.7.1
So I went to the patch portal, downloaded the PROM update 104288 for ultra 1E (not ultra 1), burned it on a cdrom,switched the jumper on the board to writable, booted and flashed the PROM successfully.The box rebooted with OBP 3.33.0.
(detail: the new banner shows now: "Sun Ultra 1UPA/SBUS (UltraSPARC???? 167 mhz") : the cpu version is gone).
From now trying to boot failed:
Boot device: /sbus/SUNW,fas@e,8800000/sd@0,0
krtld: load_exec: fail to expand cpu/$CPU
krtld: error during initial load/link phase
panic - boot: exitto64 returned from client program
I took an OpenBSD 3.4 sparc64 iso. It booted and installed, and the box runs it like a charm.
I took a NetBSD 1.6.1 sparc64 iso.It booted and installed, and runs just fine.
I took a Linux-sparc iso. It booted and installed and it turns the box into a nice desktop.
I took a Solaris 8 iso, then a Solaris 9, then the last Solaris 10 Express, setting OBP:
set-default boot-file
set-default boot-device
I use the CD#1, not the "Installer" one.
and I boot giving the kernel path: /platform/sun4u/kernel/sparcv9/unix
then the modules path /platform/sun4u/kernel.
Fails allways:
(trying to boot the 32bit sparcv8 solaris 8 kernel fails too).
"Alloc of 0x400000 bytes at 0x1000000 refused" (memory alignment issue ?) in case of solaris 9 or 10, and fail to expand cpu/$CPU in case of solaris 8.
It seems solaris doesn't support ultra 1e with the last PROM.I will not try to downgrade the OBP, as they warn on sunsolve to not do that at all.
So I keep running OpenBSD and Linux on the box.
But maybe I miss something about solaris ??

Hello,
this is a problem that is not acknowledged by Sun !
Please review the following thread on the Sun Support Forum (posted Thu, 12 February 2004 03:47)
Either go to http://supportforum.sun.com and select the Forum (last is the topic)
Hardware ? Ultra/SunBlade ? Upgraded OBP on Ultra 1 - now can't boot
or use the link
http://supportforum.sun.com/hardware/index.php?t=msg&th=1267&start=0&rid=23&S=a533bb4719fbfe75ac9083e444cf19d1
You have to downgrade the OBP. Unfortunately the previous patch is no longer available (from Sun) for download.
You can either take one of the 'SUN4U SYSTEM FLASH PROM UPDATE' cd's (e.g. 2.3) or download it from the alternate location given in the thread.
It's very interesting that the error does only appear when Solaris is involved. I will post this as an update to the original thread.

Solaris 10 will not boot from DVD on my system

I first installed Solaris 10 on my system and it worked fine. Then when it went to boot the OS it just kept rebooting. I must have made a midtake in the install so went to install it again.
Problem is that now the DVD will not boot and give me the option to install Solaris like it did before. It instead goes straight into GRUB. I thought that this was because of the previous install on the hardrive. But then I disconnected my harddrives and still the same problem.
I tried the disk on another system and the disk booted with the option to install Solaris. So the question is why does the disc boot into GRUB even when there is no hard drives attached to my machine

as was mentioned, let's see /etc/vfstabHere it is:
#device to mount     #device to fsck     mount point     FS type     fsck pass    mount at boot       mount options
fs     -     /dev/fs     fs     -     no     -

/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0     /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0     /data     ufs     1     yes     -Sorry for the formatting, I had to type it out since I can't get any files directly off of the server.
The last entry in the vfstab file is the only entry I added myself. It is a secondary hard disk that I mounted to the directory /data. Everything else was automatically created at install according to the partitions that I defined.
I really need to get this server up and running as fast as possible. I want to avoid re-installing everything since that would be really time consuming. Thanks in advance.

Solaris 10 can not boot; disks drive offline

hi, solaris 10 can not boot the operating system has 10 luns and this enabled the multipathing, he settled patches and reboot the computer does not start showing me the following errors:

any idea.

Hi--
Can you list the steps that lead this problem, please?
The drive offline message is a symptom of some kind of connection or underlying hardware problem.
If there were no system changes that lead to this problem, then I would look for connection or hardware issues.
Thanks, Cindy

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.

Missing dependency in Solaris 10 Update8 iscsi initiator / zones not booted

In previous Solaris 10 Releases, the iscsi_initiator smf service had the following
dependeny:
# svcs -D iscsi_initiator
STATE STIME FMRI
online Jan_11 svc:/system/metainit:default
Because this one is missing with Update 8, the service is even started after
the zones services.
online 14:45:50 svc:/system/zones:default
online 14:46:01 svc:/network/iscsi/initiator:default
Result:
- No filesystems on iSCSI disks mounted, no Zone on iSCSI running ... after system boot.
Any ideas?

Quick thought...
What happens if you mark all you zones to not boot as a default setting so system boot you won't have this race condition. Then have an rc3highnumber script that probes the services and makes sure all drivers and filesystems are available. Once available, boot the zones, and reset the autoboot option if need be. But make sure the rc3script has the autoboot function disabled again on the way down. This should hold the problem together until Sun/Oracle fixes this issue.
Nasty hack, but that's software for you.
Thoughts?

The 420R first shipped in November 1999.
Initially, they all had CDROM drives and not DVD readers.
You might also get that same error
if you are inserting a DVD disk into a CD drive.
Next, the 390-0025 DVD drives had problems booting
from any DVD media with more than (I vaguely recall)
something such as 3GB of data on it.
They could read from them,
just not boot from them.
That was a peculiarity of the drive.
Recent releases of Solaris 10 fill those DVD disks.
Try your installation with CD media instead of DVD's.

Solaris 10 10/08 x86 DVD will not boot, workaround inc.

hi,
Downloaded the Solaris 10 10/08 x86 DVD. It will not boot up at all with the 2 Gigabyte boards I have tryed it with. GA-G33-DS3R and GA-N650SLI-DS4L I downloaded the ISO twice and checked the checksum. Burnt the DVD 4 times! The DVD works fine with my Eee PC 900 over usb. Booting the 2 gigabyte board over usb works a bit better, they get to GRUB but they still dont work correctly.
I am using IDE DVD drives with the 2 gigabyte boards. I have never had a problem like his before with my hardware. Been experimenting with lots of diffrent Linux distro's recently and they all booted fine from DVD's I have burnt from downloaded ISO's.
I have tryed the CD install disks, CD1 boots up and start the install OK, but would not finish corrctly for me. Some other problem am not going into.....
The DVD workaround I am using.
Boot up the system with am old Solaris DVD.
At the very first menu, press an arrow key to stop the 6 second timer.
Remove the old Solaris DVD and replace it with the new Solaris 10 10/08 DVD.
Wait a few seconds and select Solaris from the menu.
The install program will now continue with the new DVD. If you dont have am old solaris DVD, you could try downloading CD1 and booting that then swapping it out fot the new DVD. Not tryed this myself.

X86: Solaris does not boot correctly?

I have installed Solaris on a second hard disk.
When I boot my computer on the second hard disk, I get the Solaris 10 emergency booting system which tries to find out on which hard disk I would like to boot Solaris 10.
Is there a possiblity to save my settings once for all time?
Because on every time I boot, I got the Solaris emergency boot manager to rechoose the disk on which I should boot.

Since a similar thing happens after other updates, it probably is not directly related to "uninstalling google desktop." Does the same thing sometimes happen when you do a regular restart (with no update or uninstall)?
You can try doing a SMU (power management) reset. Before you do that, reset PRAM.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
If that does not help, follow this procedure precisely to reset the SMU
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1767
When you reconnect the power cord, if you were using an power strip of some kind (especially if it's old or overcrowded), try connecting it directly to a wall outlet by itself (at least initially). Start it up with only the power cord connected, then (if it starts up normally), add only standard USB keyboard and mouse. Use it that way for a while to see if there's improvement. If it's better, add your other peripheral devices back, one at a time, to see if the problem returns.

Error on install, CDROM not booting Kernel, unable to mount CDRM, what now?

Please help. I am new to this, so as many options as possible would be a help.
So far here are the steps I've taken to install Solaris 8 (Intel):
1. Checked HCL - I have two CD ROM's I've tried, both are on the list. (Mitsumi FX140S and Sony DVD DDU220E)
2. Set BIOS to boot CDROM - Boot failure..., I have set and changed jumpers back and forth from Master to Slave. I have moved CDROM drive from primary Slave to secondary Master and secondary Slave.
3. I have downloaded and used the Device Config Assistant boot floppy. It boots and checks devices. It also recognizes the CDROMs I have (both CDROMs are not have installed at the same time).
4. I have selected whichever CDROM I have installed as the default boot device (*) using F4_Boot Tasks. I have also adjusted timeouts from 0,1,2 and 3 seconds and have had autoboot ON/OFF.
5. I have entered F2 to continue and I receive this error:
Unable to mount a Solaris root file system from the device:
CD : (*) Target 1, MITSUMI CD-ROM FX140S !B e12 on Bus Mastering IDE controller on Board PCI bus 0, at Dev 4, Func 1
Error message from mount:
/pci@0,0/pci-ide@4,1/ide@0/sd@1,0:a: can't open - no hsfs VTOC
Press Enter to Continue.
I have inserted all 3 CD I have created with the same results from each. The CDs have the .iso extention and were created using Easy CD Creator.
Please, Please, Please, ANY suggestions!!
LL

First off you don't need to set your CDROM as the default boot device to install Solaris, that's why we have the Solaris DCA boot diskette. And also only the Solaris Installation CD and Software 1 of 2 are bootable CDs, the software 2 of 2 is NOT.
Once you finish downloading the images from Sun's website you need to not only add the .iso extension to the ending of each image file but use the option "Burn using CD image" under the File menu in Easy CD creator.
If you try and view the burned CD under Windows you will only see a small number of the actual files that are on the CD. And NO you will not see the .vtoc file and will not be able make one yourself.
My suggestion would be to try and burn a new CD with the above instructions and boot with the Solaris DCA and continue pressing F2 until you get to the point where it asks you select where you want to boot the kernel from. At that point put with ther Installation CD or Software 1 of 2 in your drive and attempt to boot from it.
Keep us updated on your progress.

Solaris 8 boot block

I have a Solaris 8 machine that was having a hard drive issue. I shut the system down and then it will not boot.
I booted off a CD and ran fsck /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 and it came back with a superblock error and I typed yes to fix it. I then tried to boot again and it still would not boot.
I then tried to reinstall the boot block but that did not seem to help. # installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
Where is the boot block suppose to go? Does it always go on slice 0 of the boot drive or does it go where the root partition is located. The root partition is actually on slice 4 c0t0d0s4.
# df -k | grep dev
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s4 8256660 3799018 4375076 47% /
I have been fighting this issue all day. I am almost to the point of restoring the whole system. Thanks in advance.

When I do a printenv boot-device I get boot device = disk:b. What does disk:b refer to? You system is set to boot from Slice #1 of whatever your system's hardware defaults to for the first disk location.
If you were seeing "disk:a" then it would refer to the zero slice of the drive (S0).
If you saw "disk:c" then it would boot from the third slice (S3).
Perhaps the following two old OBP reference manuals can be of help.

System not booting, getting "unable to qualify my own domain name"

Hi,
System name : sun ultra 24

I am not able to login to the system. System is not booting completely. Getting below error at the boot time.
sendmail (354) : My unqualified host name (india) unknown ; sleeping for retry
sendmail (353) : unable to qualify my own domain name.
Thanks in advance..

Hi,
please do the following in your /etc/hosts file
find the line containing the hostname,
and add your hostname again with a dot as a last char
example for hostname india
192.150.1.1 india india. loghost
and restart the sendmail process : kill -1 <sendmail process num>

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

I connected a serial to the "serial management port" but all i get is
C Alert: SC System booted.
SC Alert: Host System has Reset

Here it sits and does nothing.
Any idea?

That sounds like a failed logic board or display module on the logic board...either way you need to take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs test it to see exactly what has failed. The testing is free so give the techs a chance at diagnosing the problem.
