Thanks for your ongoing patience with this thread!
I'm not at the machine, but off the top of my head `poweron:
does indeed turn the system on and spins up the fans.
generates the "system power on event" message.
a few fan failure messages.
About the fans, one fan failure message was a CPU fan, I removed that CPU entirely as I believe the system should work with only 1 CPU anyway. There was also one chassis fan failure. Again I don't think that would stop the system booting. (I have spares which I will fit if I can get the system to boot).
IIRC, once the system is in the poweron state, `console -f` should give an 'ok>' prompt after hitting 'console -f' (and enter twice).
I can get you the exact ALOM messages later when I'm at the system.

I replaced the fans on the CPU.
The console output looks like this:
I can hit enter as many times as I like, but no 'ok' prompt.
If the CPU were bad, the ALOM would know, right?

I recently acquired a server for home use. Currently, I'm running a V210. I was wondering of a way to basically swap hard drives into the V440.
I would like to avoid reinstall on the V440 for many reasons.

I'm currently trying to move a perfectly find harddrive from a V210 to a V440. From what I can tell, the disk labeling a bit different, (V210 is c1t0d0 and V440 is c0t0d0). My question is, what all do I have to change to get the V440 to boot off of this with very little complications. Right now, it... (21 Replies)

I have bought from eBay a second hand Sun Fire V210 server and I'm really stumped at the lack of complete instructions on how to connect to it.
I don't have a Windows machine, I've only got Ubuntu and OS X computers. None of them have an old RS-232 port on them either.
In saying that, I have... (12 Replies)

Hey,
I have a V210 with a failed CPU fan.
The temperature is currently at 84C and I've been asked to wait a few weeks before replacing as its a production system and it cant be shut down yet.
Is it too hot? Do I risk killing the CPU at this temp?
Its been like this for a few weeks now... (5 Replies)
