Blade SP Is Unresponsive Over Network

Problem

The service processor (SP) on a Server Module (blade) does not respond to network connections. In this situation, the serial port connection to the blade SP might display the => prompt after you press Enter. These symptoms indicate that the SP has failed to boot.

To diagnose the reason that the SP failed to boot, contact Sun Services at:

Workaround

You can boot the blade SP manually from the => prompt. However, before you boot the SP manually, it is important to diagnose the reason that the SP failed to boot.

To boot the SP from the => prompt, type boot and press Enter.
