NAME

hostreset- reset a hung domain

SYNOPSIS

hostreset

DESCRIPTION

hostreset resets the domain specified by the SUNW_HOSTNAME environment variable, executing an external interrupt (XIR).

Other, less-traumatic steps are available to unhang the domain. Try each of the following procedures, in the order shown:

1. Attempt a reboot from any functional login on the domain. If this works, the domain was not fully hung. Core is not dumped.

2. Attempt to break into OpenBoot from the console by sending a break. You can do so by using either netcon(1M) or netcontool(1M). Once in OpenBoot, issue the command sync, which causes a panic dump and reboot.

3. Execute hostint(1M). If this step is successful, the domain panics, dumps, then reboots.

4. Execute hostreset. If this step is successful, you can then initiate bringup(1M) if the system does not automatically boot.

5. If Steps 1 through 4 fail, execute bringup(1M) with its -f option.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

The environment variable SUNW_HOSTNAME must be set to the name of the domain.
