Sun Fire V245 patching issue
Hi All,

I have an server Sun Fire V245 for which we had been trying to patch.
We get a message that the patch has been applied successfully but while trying to reboot after activating the new lu, the server is not booting up. Had reinstalled lustarter pack, required patches during the patching but still we were unable to boot the server with new patch.

I am following the lu uprade method. Have tried 4 times since last year but still it is not coming up.

Any help would be appreciated. Pasted teh error messages below.
Also a person who i do not know has suggested to uninstall CJD module due to which the server was not booting but not sure of CJD module as i couldnt find details regarding it anywhere.

Below is the log i had captured from Alom and the server keeps on looping but does not boot unless i send a break and boot it up.

Regarding CJD, though we were unable to boot with activateed lu, recently when i had to apply a particular single patch, i had applied it directly to the current environment and rebooted and the server got booted though CJD alerts were there so i am not sure whether CJD is a speedbreaker for the server to reboot with activateed lu.

Hi,

You can try the following;

From the ok prompt "boot -F" or "boot -F failsafe" - if you are able to get the M/C up and running it looks like the FCA's need a firmware upgrade and they may not work on the upgraded version without it.

However if the box boots in failsafe mode you should have some more information on the diagnostic output. In which case you'll have to follow the advice.

Regards

Dave

Hi Dave,

Generally what happens with this server is that we patch it using lu and once the server is not comming up, we login through the ALOM and enter into ok prompt and revert the server as we have very less downtime agreed by client.
However this time i will first try for and FCA upgrade and then will try to patch the server and see if it works. Also will try to capture the logs and also try to boot it into failsafe mode and see.

Can you please help me regarding FCA firmware from where i can get them as it is mentioned as emlxs, can it be downloaded from Oracle or do we need to approach for EMULEX. Is there any link from where i can get the firmware.

Regards,
Rocky

What is the make and modell of the emulex adapter? a prtdiag -v output might give a hint (if you are able to provide that). or you have to check manually by open up the server... the FW can be downloaded at support.oracle.com for your HBA...

Hi,

You may be able to get the driver here, but make sure you ger the correct one - older versions of the Emulex cards were very tricky to patch.

In some cases it requited you to actualy modify some of the Hex code in the card - not for the feint hearted.

Hi Duke & Gull,

Thanks for your help and suggestions throughout.
The issue has been resolved and the server was patched successfully.
The issue was not with the drivers as i had updated the drivers and tried but still failed.
The CJD module was a utility from Backup tool (Backup express), which had modified the kernel paremeters and upon uninstalling the CJD module and patching, the server was patched successfully and booted without any issues.

Thanks again.
