    Sun Enterprise 3500 Won't Boot!

    After much work, the problems was...are you ready...bad CPU! Yup. This server has 2 CPU's (0 and 1) and CPU 1 failed. Once I pulled it off the main board, the server came up just fine. We replaced it with a Sun remanufactured CPU for $2100 and all is well. I appreciate everyone's responses...

    Sun Enterprise 3500 Won't Boot!

    OK Sorry...maybe wasn't clear on my initial post. LED's, both front panel and back (Clock+, I/O and Memory+) ALL show pattern Power On-Service Off-Running Off which, according to the manual indicates system is hung in POST or OBP. Power Supply/Fan LED's show normal status. I'd re-load the OS...

    Sun Enterprise 3500 Won't Boot!

    I received an Enterprise 3500 (call it a "gift" from another department). When I apply power, three main problems: 1) CDROM inop and light flashes at a fast rate with no disk inside even when signal cable not attached(have to open with paperclip). 2) Cannot get a terminal to...

    Direct Cable Connection

    I am trying to connect my Laptop with a fresh install of Windows 98 Second Edition (it's too old to put 2000 on it) to a workstation with Windows 2000 via direct serial port cable connection. I am able to establish a connection between the two machines, however, if I try to map a shared drive...

    File system error

    Thanks for the help! I'm still not sure of myself so before I go blowing stuff away, one more question: You said I should delete all files in the /var/tmp directory. Is this a general rule that all files appearing in this directory are of no use to the system and can be deleted as part of...

    File system error

    Solaris Newbie here. In a console window in Solaris 2.6, I keep getting the message: NOTICE: alloc: /: file system full or NOTICE: realloccg: /: file system full I know that it says its full, but I'm sure that with Solaris, it isn't as simple as deleting old files and de-fragging, so can...

    Unable to Eject or Use CDROM

    Allright guys/gals...thanks a million for the help. I am now able to get the CDROM to eject ONLY by pressing the eject button on the CDROM itself (I &quot;manually&quot; ejected it a few times a la paperclip). When I use the &quot;eject&quot; command at the command line OR if I use &quot;eject...

    Unable to Eject or Use CDROM

    Thanks...tried all these approaches with no success. Maybe the CDROM drive isn't mounting in the first place? Should I look in the /etc/vfstab file and if so, what am I looking for? (e.g. /dev/rdsk/<location>). Sorry to be a pain, but I do appreciate it all your help!

    Unable to Eject or Use CDROM

    Thanks. I have all consoles closed and all GUI applications closed as well. This particular unit is not shared. Could I be missing a file somewhere? It seems to be looking for a file that it cannot find.

    Unable to Eject or Use CDROM

    Have an Ultra 10 running 2.6. I am unable to eject the CDROM even by pressing the button on the unit itself (lights up amber?). Unit won't see the drive, and when I try the &quot;Eject CD-ROM&quot; command in the GUI, I get a &quot;Watch Error&quot; box that pops up with the message...
