What to Do If Rebooting Fails
If the system does not reboot completely, or if the system reboots and then crashes again, a software or hardware problem might be preventing the system from booting successfully.
|
|
The system cannot find /platform/`uname -m`/kernel/sparcv9/unix. |
|
The Oracle Solaris boot archive has become corrupted or the SMF boot archive service has failed. An error message is displayed if you run the svcs –x command. |
|
An invalid entry is in the /etc/passwd file. |
|
The x86 boot loader (GRUB) is damaged or the GRUB menu is missing or has become corrupt. |
|
A hardware problem exists with a disk or another device. |
Check the hardware connections.
Make sure the equipment is plugged in.
Make sure all the switches are set properly.
Look at all the connectors and cables, including the Ethernet cables.
If all these steps fail, turn off the power to the system, wait 10 to 20 seconds, and then turn on the power again.
