Operating Systems Solaris T5220 fails to boot Post 302711685 by hicksd8 on Sunday 7th of October 2012 05:40:19 PM

Your system seems to be complaining about a couple of network interfaces which are either really faulty or have been flagged as faulty in error.

In the service processor (SP>) try clearfault and clearasrdb commands.

Then try booting.

If that fails try shutting the system down completely (unplug power) and then reconnect. Watch the SP start up and whether it marks these devices as bad (error messages). If they are marked bad:

Code:
 
SC> clearfault
SC> clearasrdb
SC> enablecomponent <device1>
SC> enablecomponent <device2>

then try boot.

I've seen this work despite the devices being marked bad during SP boot. If this works the most likely cause is a daughterboard containing these interfaces needs reseating (poor electrical contact issue).

Hope that helps.

SYSTEMD-ASK-PASSWORD-CONSOLE.SERVICE(8) 	       systemd-ask-password-console.service		   SYSTEMD-ASK-PASSWORD-CONSOLE.SERVICE(8)

NAME

       systemd-ask-password-console.service, systemd-ask-password-console.path, systemd-ask-password-wall.service, systemd-ask-password-wall.path
       - Query the user for system passwords on the console and via wall

SYNOPSIS

       systemd-ask-password-console.service

       systemd-ask-password-console.path

       systemd-ask-password-wall.service

       systemd-ask-password-wall.path

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-ask-password-console.service is a system service that queries the user for system passwords (such as hard disk encryption keys and
       SSL certificate passphrases) on the console. It is intended to be used during boot to ensure proper handling of passwords necessary for
       boot.  systemd-ask-password-wall.service is a system service that informs all logged in users for system passwords via wall(1). It is
       intended to be used after boot to ensure that users are properly notified.

       See the developer documentation[1] for more information about the system password logic.

       Note that these services invoke systemd-tty-ask-password-agent(1) with either the --watch --console or --watch --wall command line
       parameters.

       systemd(1), systemd-tty-ask-password-agent(1), wall(1)
