I hv set the "diag-switch?=true" as recommended.
There was a power outage last night, but this morning, when I reached the site, the server didn't boot up properly.
I could not ping or telnet to the server. When I tried to issue command "poweron" at the SC, it says that it is already running:
sc> poweron
The Host System Power is already running
sc>
I tried to go to console, and it gives me this:
sc> console
Console session already in use. [view mode]
Enter #. to return to ALOM.
Then I tried to issue "poweroff" and "poweron", but the server still would not boot up properly.
The boot process stopped at the following:
Requesting Internet Address for 0:14:4f:7b:12:1a
Requesting Internet Address for 0:14:4f:7b:12:1a
Requesting Internet Address for 0:14:4f:7b:12:1a
Lastly, I had to go to the OK prompt (by pressing Alt-B many times) and change the "diag-switch?=true" back to "diag-switch?=false", and type "boot" to boot up the server from OK prompt.
I had a scare for not being able to bring up the server!
What was the problem? Any problem with my setting:
