Can you hear the main chassis fans running? These would be quite noisey. If not then I suspect that the output you have posted:

Quote:

status=powered off

is telling the truth and that is the issue. Perhaps you need to re-seat the power plug on the motherboard.

What is the history of this box? Was it running and just stopped? Is it a new install? Or what?

Next time you do a:

Code:

-> start /SYS
-> start /SP/console

and get no response from console output can you type CTRL-Q just to ensure that the console serial port is not X-OFF'd.

Just a thought.

I had a discussion with datacenter guy who was supplying me the command outputs which you guys asked me yesterday. Actually the system was running fine and seems suddenly powered off. Now what he(datacenter guy) does before, when I ask any command output.

He run the show faulty

Code:

-> show faulty
Target              | Property               | Value
--------------------+------------------------+---------------------------------
/SP/faultmgmt/0     | fru                    | /SYS/MB
/SP/faultmgmt/0/    | sunw-msg-id            | SUN4V-8001-MR
 faults/0           |                        |
/SP/faultmgmt/0/    | uuid                   | 16f520a9-8891-4a85-a4a5-c0fe225f
 faults/0           |                        | b36e
/SP/faultmgmt/0/    | timestamp              | Oct 16 19:13:16
 faults/0

Code:

-> show faulty
Target              | Property               | Value
--------------------+------------------------+---------------------------------

then he run

Code:

set /SYS/MB clear_fault_action=true

then he run other commands like

Code:

start /SYS
start /SP/console

Hi,

Do you see any post output from;

Code:

-> start /SYS
-> start /HOST/consol

You should see at the very least the ok prompt.

It may be that you have to set the keyswitch to the diagnostic setting and connect to the console and try to capture the post (Power On Self Test) output.

Regards

Hi,
This looks a bit strange to me, can you login and show the output of;

Code:

uname -a

This is a very old Linux Kernel that is running here and the output seems to be a little strange for a T5240.
