Operating Systems Solaris Sun Fire 4800 is not powering-on Post 302919393 by gull04 on Wednesday 1st of October 2014 03:22:09 AM

Hi DukeNuke2,

You are right, I was thinking of the M3-9000 series. I've checked my old notes on the Enterprise series last night on this and the process is more complex.

You have to interupt the POST with a hard reset on the card as it displays the Sun copy right message and then "Control-A"" the unit should just display a blank prompt ">" I think.

Once here you have to run the "getbootflags" command and then the "setbootflags" to disable auto boot. Then you have to "Control-X" - then there are a string of commands to reload and reset the local Java paths and .jar files.

The sequence is always the same, however depending in the firmware the commands are different.

As to doing this without support from Oracle, unless you have done it before - I'd call them in to help.

Regards

Dave
