Solaris 9 server not responding
I'm in panic mode. This isn't a production server, however, is very vital to office.
Sun V240 with Solaris 9, stopped accepting ftp sessions. When I tried to remote into box, it didn't respond. I have tried rebooting to boot in single user mode, no luck. I can see that it is ON but I can't get it to respond to anything. It has three drives, all three drives light up when I power on the system and then lights out....
What is going on and how to I get my system back?
Thanks!!!!

Greetings!
I'm testing a failover solution for NFSv4 on RHEL6 with latest updates.

SYNOPSIS
chfn [-f full-name] [-o office] ,RB [ -p office-phone] [-h home-phone] -u] [-v] [username]

interactive mode.
INTERACTIVE MODE

field unchanged. Enter the keyword "none" to make the field blank.
