sys-unconfig doesn't work after reboot
Hi All!
I'm running "Solaris 10 10/08 s10s_u6wos_07b SPARC" on M5000.
I ran sys-unconfig and after the machine rebooted the system did not prompt me for configuration info (system name, ip address, etc). I have also modified /etc/.sysIDtool.state changing all "1" to "0" and touch /etc/.UNCONFIGURED and reboot with same result.
I 've rebooted several times now with the same result.
Has anyone run into this before? What did you do to correct it?
Thanks!!

Hi,
I performed a sys-unconfig on a solaris 10 server twice and it did not ask for a new hostname. I did a fresh install. most of the time I have experienced that it asks for a new hostname. what happened?
I know I could have edited some files but I prefer not to.
thanks in advance,

Hi guys,
thanks for your help. I recently did a yum update on my rhel6.4 server. After this update, user logins take for ever and the reboot command does not work. When I do a reboot, the server hangs. Nothing happens.
Any help with this will be appreciated.

reboot(2) System Calls Manual reboot(2)
NAME
reboot - Reboots system or halts processor
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/reboot.h>
void reboot( int howto );
PARAMETERS
Specifies a mask of options.
DESCRIPTION
The reboot() function restarts the system. The startup is automatic and brings up /vmunix in the normal, nonmaintenance mode. The calling
process must have superuser privilege to run this function successfully. However, a reboot is invoked automatically in the event of unre-
coverable system failures.
The following options, defined in the sys/reboot.h include file are passed to the new kernel or the new bootstrap and init programs. They
are supplied as values to the howto parameter. The default, causing the system to reboot in its usual fashion. Dump kernel memory before
rebooting; see the savecore command for more information. The processor is simply halted; no reboot takes place. The disks are not sync'd
before the processor is halted or rebooted. Normally, the disks are sync'd (see the sync() command) before the processor is halted or
rebooted. Because the disks are not sync'd with the RB_NOSYNC option, loss of data may result from using it.
When no options are given (that is, RB_AUTOBOOT is used), the system is rebooted from file vmunix in the root file system of unit 0 (zero)
of a disk chosen in a processor-specific way. (see the fsck command).
RETURN VALUES
If successful, this call does not return. Otherwise, a -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
If the reboot() function fails, errno may be set to the following value: The calling process does not have appropriate privilege.
