I have a sun fire v480r server. it has 2 cpu. One of cpu have become faulty. Now i want to run server on a single cpu. My service provider says it cant be done, you have to replace the motherboard. Can it be done? If so do some settings need to be changed in solaris. I have search for documentation on the net but have found nothing. I will appreciate if somebody helps me.
Thanks
depends on the error, they might have noticed that the motherboard failed maybe?
what are you asking here w/o any outputs? How would we know to justify what you're saying is true, that CPU failed?
I think what they say is true. The board comes with the processor, if Im not wrong. You will only need to swap the DIMMs over to the new board

system does not start now and maintenance light is on. This is syslog when system used to reboot automatically.

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)

(Power supplies are showing only amber LEDs with "Ready to remove" sign).
I tried to turn on the power supplies via System Controller menu (platform shell), but it... (6 Replies)

We have a single threaded application which is restricted by CPU usage even though there are multiple CPUs on the server, hence leading to significant performance issues. Is it possible to merge / combine multiple CPUs at OS level so it appear as a single CPU for the application? (6 Replies)
I am new to Sun.
I brought Sun Fire 280R to practice UNIX. What are the requirements for the monitor/CRT? Will it burn out old non-Sun CRTs? Does it need LCD monitor?
Thanks. (3 Replies)

All,
After a power loss I went to power on our sun fire v120 that is running solaris 10 and now it will not boot. I tried power cycling it from the lom and pulling the cord but nothing works. All it does is after a power cycle it will start to boot and then start to spit out a bunch of hex... (2 Replies)
