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

Hello everybody!!
I need your help again.
I am using Sun Ultra sparc 60 machine.Follwing are the types of files getting generated in /var/tmp.
"windu_sm_o aaaa,baaa,caaa,daaa" etc.
I am not able to locate which application is generating these files.
Can I straightway delete these files ? or... (1 Reply)
I have just started getting into unix and aquired a Sun Ultra 5 however the disk failed and I want to replace it with a spare maxtor 40Gb i have lying around. I need to partition and format the disk from its old windows format. I have looked up info on the format command in solaris 9 and I think i... (2 Replies)
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)
Folks;
My SUN Ultra 10 5.9 won't boot. It only stops after counting the memory on the white screen then hangs there with nothing. even the power button won't take it down from there, i had to unplug it then re-plug it again.
i inserted a disk with Solaris 9 iso trying to rebuild it but nothing... (1 Reply)
Hi all,
I managed to salvage form work an old Sun Sparc Ultra 30. I have had it stored (controlled storage) for a few years and decided to get it home and boot it up.
It starts up with a beep then I can hear disks spinning up, CDROM moving but nothing is displayed on the monitor.

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)
Hi all,
I've just replaced the eprom battery on my Sun Ultra-30 and having boot issues. For some reason its trying to boot off the network instead of the DISK1. Howe can I change it so the open boot does not default to the boot device: NET

scsi_vu_errmsg
scsi_vu_errmsg(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers scsi_vu_errmsg(9F)NAME
scsi_vu_errmsg - display a SCSI request sense message
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/scsi/scsi.h>
void scsi_vu_errmsg(struct scsi_pkt *pktp, char *drv_name, int severity, int err_blkno, struct scsi_key_strings *cmdlist, struct
scsi_extended_sense *sensep, struct scsi_asq_key_strings *asc_list, char *(*decode_fru)(struct scsi_device*, char *, int, char));
INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).
PARAMETERS
The following parameters are supported:
devp
Pointer to the scsi_device(9S) structure.
pktp
Pointer to a scsi_pkt(9S) structure.
drv_name
String used by scsi_log(9F).
severity
Error severity level, maps to severity strings below.
blkno
Requested block number.
err_blkno
Error block number.
cmdlist
An array of SCSI command description strings.
sensep
A pointer to a scsi_extended_sense(9S) structure.
asc_list
A pointer to a array of asc and ascq message list.The list must be terminated with -1 asc value.
decode_fru
This is a function pointer that will be called after the entire sense information has been decoded. The parameters will be the
scsi_device structure to identify the device. Second argument will be a pointer to a buffer of length specified by third argument. The
fourth argument will be the FRU byte. decode_fru might be NULL if no special decoding is required. decode_fru is expected to return
pointer to a char string if decoding possible and NULL if no decoding is possible.
DESCRIPTION
This function is very similar to scsi_errmsg(9F) but allows decoding of vendor-unique ASC/ASCQ and FRU information.
scsi_vu_errmsg() interprets the request sense information in the sensep pointer and generates a standard message that is displayed using
scsi_log(9F). It first searches the list array for a matching vendor unique code if supplied. If it does not find one in the list then the
standard list is searched. The first line of the message is always a CE_WARN, with the continuation lines being CE_CONT. sensep may be
NULL, in which case no sense key or vendor information is displayed.
The driver should make the determination as to when to call this function based on the severity of the failure and the severity level that
the driver wants to report.
The scsi_device(9S) structure denoted by devp supplies the identification of the device that requested the display. severity selects which
string is used in the ``Error Level:'' reporting, according to the table below:
Severity Value: String:
SCSI_ERR_ALL All
SCSI_ERR_UNKNOWN Unknown
SCSI_ERR_INFO Information
SCSI_ERR_RECOVERED Recovered
SCSI_ERR_RETRYABLE Retryable
SCSI_ERR_FATAL Fatal
blkno is the block number of the original request that generated the error. err_blkno is the block number where the error occurred. cmdlist
is a mapping table for translating the SCSI command code in pktp to the actual command string.
The cmdlist is described in the structure below:
struct scsi_key_strings {
int key;
char *message;
};
For a basic SCSI disk, the following list is appropriate:
static struct scsi_key_strings scsi_cmds[] = {
0x00, "test unit ready",
0x01, "rezero/rewind",
0x03, "request sense",
0x04, "format",
0x07, "reassign",
0x08, "read",
0x0a, "write",
0x0b, "seek",
0x12, "inquiry",
0x15, "mode select",
0x16, "reserve",
0x17, "release",
0x18, "copy",
0x1a, "mode sense",
0x1b, "start/stop",
0x1e, "door lock",
0x28, "read(10)",
0x2a, "write(10)",
0x2f, "verify",
0x37, "read defect data",
0x3b, "write buffer",
-1, NULL
};
CONTEXT
scsi_vu_errmsg() may be called from user or interrupt context.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Using scsi_vu_errmsg()
struct scsi_asq_key_strings cd_slist[] = {
0x81, 0, "Logical Unit is inaccessable",
-1, 0, NULL,
};
scsi_vu_errmsg(devp, pkt, "sd",
SCSI_ERR_INFO, bp->b_blkno, err_blkno,
sd_cmds, rqsense, cd_list,
my_decode_fru);
This generates the following console warning:
WARNING: /sbus@1,f8000000/esp@0,800000/sd@1,0 (sd1):
Error for Command: read Error Level: Informational
Requested Block: 23936 Error Block: 23936
Vendor: XYZ Serial Number: 123456
Sense Key: Unit Attention
ASC: 0x81 (Logical Unit is inaccessable), ASCQ: 0x0
FRU: 0x11 (replace LUN 1, located in slot 1)
