Hi
the message:
0>POST: Return to OBP.
SC Alert: Host System has Reset
Could not read diag-switch? from NVRAM!
shows you error. The ALOM is okay, the POST has run, then the
server will return to OBP, therefor he reads the contents of the NVRAM.
But your NVRAM is flashed, you can't boot or install Solaris, cause
the NVRAM is the BIOS of the V440, where all pathes and infos for
your hardware is been saved.
The only way is to install a new NVRAM, you need a support contract
and a service call, or a new motherboard.

Hi,
I was asked to connect a KVM screen to a Sun Fire V440 last night so I connected it up but no joy and nothing on the KVM screen. I was told that a reboot may fix the problem so connected to the ALOM and rebooted. On the plus side, the KVM screen now works but I lost the ALOM connection.

sys-suspend
sys-suspend(1) User Commands sys-suspend(1)
NAME
sys-suspend - suspend or shutdown the system and power off
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/sys-suspend [-fnxh][-d displayname]
DESCRIPTION
sys-suspend provides options to suspend or shutdown the whole system.
A system can be suspended to conserve power or to prepare the system for transport. The suspend should not be used when performing any
hardware reconfiguration or replacement.
In case of suspend, the current system state is preserved either by keeping memory powered (Suspend to RAM), or by saving the state to non-
volatile storage (Suspend to Disk) until a resume operation is performed by power on or a wake-up event.
On a resume in the windows environment, the system brings up lockscreen to ensure that only the authorized person has access to the system.
In a non-windows environment, the user is prompted for password.
It is possible that when devices or processes are performing critical or time sensitive operations (such as real time operations) the sys-
tem fails to suspend. When this occurs, the system remains in its current running state. Messages reporting the failure are displayed on
the console or system log. Once the system is successfully suspended, the resume operation always succeed barring external influences such
as hardware reconfiguration or the like.
In case of shutdown, the system responds as if poweroff(1M) was performed.
This command enforces the solaris.system.power.suspend. authorizations. On a default install these are associated with the console user.
Other users need to include these authorizations or include the Suspend profile.
OPTIONS
The following operands are supported:
-d displayname Connect to the X server specified by displayname.
-f Force suspend. Causes a poweroff(1M) to occur if the suspend fails. System state are not be saved, and a normal boot follows.
-h Change the default from suspend to shutdown.
-n Do not display messages or request user intervention.
-x Disable lockscreen. This flag disables the execution of lockscreen at resume time.
