Rebooting with command: boot

Solution :

Hi Friends,

I am back on Blogging after a gap of couple of years. If you are trying to upgrade a T2000 running Solaris 10 from u8 to u9 and install patch 147440-02 or above and your current firmware level is ver old, your server will never boot from the new BE. This is a Solaris Bug and the only solution to resolve it is to upgrade the Firware to  139434-09

Here in my server below was the current firmware version:

sc> showsc version -v
Advanced Lights Out Manager CMT v1.3.2
SC Firmware version: CMT 1.3.2
SC Bootmon version: CMT 1.3.2
VBSC 1.3.1
VBSC firmware built Feb  5 2007, 21:11:38
SC Bootmon Build Release: 01
SC bootmon checksum: F44BD111
SC Bootmon built Feb  5 2007, 21:18:50
SC Build Release: 01
SC firmware checksum: 48C51947

SC System Memory Size: 32 MB
SC NVRAM Version = 12
SC hardware type: 4
FPGA Version: 4.2.4.7


I upgraded it to below:

sc> showsc version -v

Advanced Lights Out Manager CMT v1.7.11

SC Firmware version: CMT 1.7.11
SC Bootmon version: CMT 1.7.11

VBSC 1.7.3.d

SC Build Release: 01

SC firmware checksum: C41F3325

SC firmware built Jul  6 2011, 19:37:18

SC firmware flashupdate THU AUG 30 09:42:18 2012

SC System Memory Size: 32 MB

SC NVRAM Version = 14
SC hardware type: 4

After Firmware upgrade when i tried booted from the new BE. It worked absoluely fine.

Good Luck.
