Problem booting Sun ultra enterprise 450 server
Hi,
I have a sun ultra enterprise 450 server. This server powers on and a white screen appears with the system and network information.
But it doesnot boot up completely. Booting operation wil be halted by a warning:
\usr\sbin\fsck not found. Most likely the mount of \usr failed or the \usr filesystem is badly damaged. The system is being halted. Either reinstall the system or boot with the -b option in an attempt to recover.
I am new to this solaris and server world and i dont have any idea what that means.
However i started the boot with -b option and the following appeared:
INIT: Cannot create /var/adm/utmp or /var/adm/utmpx
I thought of reinstalling the OS from the cdrom. I took a solaris 10 sparc OS cd for installation. (is that right?
)
I got an error 'cannot open boot device'
Kindly suggest.
Thanks,
Ashwini

utmpx(4) File Formats utmpx(4) NAME
utmpx, wtmpx - utmpx and wtmpx database entry formats SYNOPSIS
#include <utmpx.h> /var/adm/utmpx /var/adm/wtmpx DESCRIPTION
The utmpx and wtmpx files are extended database files that have superseded the obsolete utmp and wtmp database files. The utmpx database contains user access and accounting information for commands such as who(1), write(1), and login(1). The wtmpx database contains the history of user access and accounting information for the utmpx database. USAGE
Applications should not access these databases directly, but should use the functions described on the getutxent(3C) manual page to inter- act with the utmpx and wtmpx databases to ensure that they are maintained consistently. FILES
