Strange problem

[bsek]

Hi All,

One of the production system went down day before itself. I got a pager message and came to work area. No display on the monitor even I activated mouse and keyboard. Finally I have truned off the key and on then system came bakup while booting I saw below error message.

This problem is on Sunfire V880 running Solaris 8. Raid(MIRRORING for boot device(36GB) and production disk (72GB)) and file systems are created using Veritas volume manger.
Installed recommended patch cluster some time in April. Upgraded OBP version to
bash-2.03# prtconf -V
OBP 4.10.14 2003/11/19 14:07
bash-2.03#
bash-2.03# uname -a
SunOS xxxxx 5.8 Generic_117000-03 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-880
bash-2.03#

I have 8 internal drives (0-36gb,1-36gb,2-72gb,3-72gb,4-36gb,5-36gb,6-36gb,7-36gb)

Now system is up and running normally...
Thanks...

Can any one tell what is the cause of above problem?

Check /var/adm/messages for any more details ( you might have to check messages.0 messages.1 etc for the correct date.)

also run metastat to check that the mirrors are functioning correctly.

I don't see any error messages in messages.* files. "vxdisk list" and "vxprint -ht" reports are normal.
I hava decided to install latest patch cluster and OBP upgrade.
