[SunHELP] Solaris SCSI weirdness

[Mark Benson]

This is why I asked on here, I forgot tgere was a verbose boot option. It's
a long time since I seriously dinked about with Sun hardware, my OBP foo is
quite rusty...

Mark,

If I am understanding your comments correctly, It sounds like to me that
you are booting, and everything, specifically including drives are working,
then at some point, just decide to stop.

Is this correct?

Any error messages, screen captures, etc might assist.

Assuming that you are never getting far enough along in the boot process to
log in and look at log files, If I were in your shoes, here are a couple of
additional things I might try.

1st - from the OBP ok prompt - instead of issuing the "boot" command,
instead, do "boot -rv"  . Don't include the double quotes. That will do a
reconfigure boot, and also boot in verbose mode, and may provide some
errors that will aid in trouble shooting.

2nd - Depending on what you have installed, you might also try either a
single user mode boot (for pre 10 versions of Solaris), or a Failsafe boot,
(for Solaris 10 GA and later).  Assuming that this boots, this could allow
you to get in and look around for further troubleshooting.

Good Luck,

Jerry
