I have some questions first:

1. What hardware is this? SPARC or x86? Exact model?
2. Do you know what the root filesystem device node is? /dev/md/????? or /dev/dsk/?????
3. Do you know how...

Hi,

As you are using SVM, there are a couple of things to be aware of particularly whether the root disk is a single disk or a mirror. Depending on the machine type, the internal disks could be...

You never really mentioned what error you get when you try to install the package...

I doubt anyone letting open access like that to outer space from a indoor lan... sure you must have firewalls etc...

Well most of us download stuff on their PC first then from there copy to the...

From the XSCF use the command version -c xcp and send the output. Depending on the version you might not be able to reset the error...

Sun shipped some mobo's in COD (Capacity on Demand) mode which means they won't work without a license. Have you got one of those? Do you know the machine history?

Do you have support for the M5000? I would say replacing the faulted part should be enough. You can also try to reset the fault and try again to powerup the system. But go slowly with a poweron -d 0...

You can shutdown the global zone via init 0 or init 5, and it will shutdown the zones then the host.

Solaris 10 Premier support ended on Jan 31, 2018. Either move to Solaris 11 or suscribe to extended support to get access to newer patches.

From when is the latest patchset you use? The latest patchcluster I can see is from january.

Hi,

Basically, yes.

However, there is one more thing that may be worth checking. If your Solaris system has accounting enabled, then you might be able to run lastcomm to see the commands...

Hi,

If you are administering this UNIX sytem remotely, and you issued an init 0 command, then (unless something went wrong to stop the process) the system will be shut down. It won't be rebooting...

You just shut the system down, so it hungup your terminal connection.

I fully subscribe to the comment above (https://www.unix.com/303011002-post4.html). Solaris comes with an archaic bourne shell.

/bin/sh is an old Bourne shell.
No history, no job control.
If you want history you should switch to bash (or zsh)
exec /bin/bashOr permanently change root's login from /sbin/sh to /bin/bash with...

Do you have some install media that you can use to bring up an OS just in memory?

Something like:-ok> boot cdrom -s

If you can get that running, then you can try to look at the devices you have...

At the {0} ok prompt, you are on the openboot ROM.
Type help to see the openboot commands.
Type boot to do a default boot.

Allowing a random user to login to your system with root privileges without knowing the root password could also be bad. There is frequently a trade-off between safe versus secure. This is one of...

There's no need to delete the other question, it stands in its own right, I think.

(and it wasn't an "infraction", only a gentle reminder to use code tags :))

The "S" at the end is the previous run-level - that in effect before you switched to run-level 3.

control-d bypasses the maintenance mode and boots to multi-user mode i.e. run-level 3.
You must enter the root password to enter the maintenance mode!
