Hi all.
I am seeing in one of our less-used servers that it crashed and now won't restart. I get the message 'continue with normal startup or boot into maintenance mode'.
I go into maintenance and run fsck on /usr0 (mentioned in error at restart) it then reboots but goes right back to 'continue with normal startup or boot into maintenance mode'.
metastat reports:
df -k shows nothing so not sure where to go from here.
I am not much of a unix admin so just curious as to what I can look into or do about this?
Thanks for all replies.
Jamie

I just was given an Ultra 60 that I'm trying to get started so that I can re-load the system with Solaris 10. I can't seem to get the system to boot past the initial memory check. I've tried to do an Stop-A to get to the eeprom, but can't do that. My next step is to try to send a break from the... (0 Replies)
Hi all - I have an issue with our (way old) single processor SunFire 280R, running Solaris 9.0.4.
It won't boot even after multiple power cycles. There was a power outage last week end in the computer room, so this might have to do.
In normal boot mode, the screen shows a single line :

First of all, I'd like to preface this post by relaying that I have considerable experience with FreeBSD but I'm a Linux newb. I've been attempting to compile linux-2.6.29.3 from source and I'm having some problems and have a few newb questions...

Newbie question.
I've been running OpenSolaris on an Intel box for some time with great success.
I have just bought an old Sun Blade workstation with a corrupted version of Solaris 5 something on it.
The plan was to install OpenSolaris on it.
However beyond my skills, I see, as no Live CD (or... (10 Replies)

Hi all,

Hi all,
I've got a Sun ultra 30 workstation. the Nvram battery died so I replaced it. I reprogrammed the mac address using the mlpl command all that so it booted without error. But for some reason I was trying to boot via the network. So I did a STOP A and boot disk1 which is the alias for my SCSI... (2 Replies)

INTRO(8) BSD System Manager's Manual INTRO(8)NAME
intro -- introduction to system maintenance procedures and commands
DESCRIPTION
This section contains information related to system operation and maintenance.
It describes commands used to create new file systems (newfs(8)), verify the integrity of the file systems (fsck(8)), control disk usage
(edquota(8)), maintain system backups (dump(8)), and recover files when disks die an untimely death (restore(8)). Network related services
like inetd(8) and ftpd(8) are also described.
All commands set an exit status. Its value may be tested to see if the command completed normally. Unless otherwise noted (rare), the value
0 signifies successful completion of the command, while a value >0 indicates an error. Some commands attempt to describe the nature of the
failure by using error codes defined in sysexits(3), or set the status to arbitrary values >0 (typically 1), but many such values are not
described in the manual.
A number of pages in this section describe general system management topics.
For example, the boot(8) manual page describes the system bootstrapping procedures, and the diskless(8) manual page describes how to boot a
system over a network. The crash(8) manual page should be consulted to understand how to interpret system crash dumps.
HISTORY
The intro section manual page appeared in 4.2BSD.
