We've got a Sun Fire V245 that's failing to boot from either boot disk (mirrored using SVM). It simply hangs after loading a few modules:

Once it get's to this stage, we get nothing. This occurs when trying to boot fom either of the mirrored disks. We're getting someone onsite with Solaris media, so we can boot from CD into single user. In the meantime, can anyone shed any light as to what could be the issue here?
After these modules are loaded, am I correct in assuming the kernel tries to mount the root filesystem? I guess if we're having this issue on both boot disks, the root filesystem has become unusable/corrupted in SVM?
Was there any change in server's hardware or software configuration recently?
not that I know of. I only provide assistance to the admins of this sytem anyhow I've been told nothing was changed, and the box crashed, and went down sometime over the weekend.
I was really trying to figure out where this was hanging - just so I've got an idea of where to troubleshoot once we're able to get it into single user. I think it's hanging just before the init phase. So the kernel is initialised, and modules loaded.
I haven't done a boot -v on a SPARC box in a long time, but hanging right after loading that CPU module doesn't look like a good sign to me. Offhand, I'd guess there's a hardware problem.
dear members,
i am a newbie to solaris 11.3, and deeply impressed. On my test pc (Lenovo M90), however, using the internet hangs the system from time to time;
initializing the connecting (WLAN) during installation (via the live cd)
took two attempts as well.
Maybe someone has a solution... (7 Replies)
Anyone ever see an issue where ufsdump 'hangs' after the IV Pass?
Normally, it will update with an estimate of how long it will take to complete...and update the info every 20 minutes.
I'm running the following command:

Power server up runs through diagnostics.
Goes to the boot section and then the bit where the cursor is spinning and thats it. Hangs completely.
Any ideas? (10 Replies)
Got a strange problem.
I have 4 Solaris servers all configured the same, Solaris 10 x86 update 10.
When I try to ssh from one Solaris 10 server to another server ssh hangs.
I have an identical server and when I try this everything works fine.
The weird thing is if I am root on the server... (1 Reply)

Greetings Forumers!

Hi all,
I have a SUN server Sun-Fire-V890 running solaris 9, with a remote system console .
Both the IP adresses of the server and the console are in a private network (address 10.67.xxx).
For some reasons I need to give the access to the server from outside address 194.xxx, but I prefer that... (2 Replies)
Hi,
We have a SunFire V880, hooked up with 2 T3 arrays. When ever we issue a reboot command on the system, it hangs at the same place right where it says
syncing file systems done.
To bring it back we shutdown power and it comes clean.
By the way init 6 command works fine.
Has anyone come... (3 Replies)
