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 firmware built Feb  5 2007, 21:19:05
SC firmware flashupdate THU MAY 10 19:00:22 2007
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

VBSC firmware built Jul  6 2011, 19:27:17

SC Bootmon Build Release: 01

SC bootmon checksum: 4CB78FC8
SC Bootmon built Jul  6 2011, 19:37:05

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
FPGA Version: 4.2.4.7

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

Good Luck.

VxVM vxassist ERROR V-5-1-436 Cannot allocate space to grow volume to 1958928768 blocks

Hi All,

In this kind of case it may happen the block size selected for the FS while its creation is different, so you can grow the FS by taking the size from( vxassist -g dgname maxsize diskname) command as mentioned below:

# vxassist -g oradgh maxsize emcpower67
Maximum volume size: 230391808 (112496Mb)

# /etc/vx/bin/vxresize -g oradgh fh01vol +230391808 emcpower67
root on cidcshlspora01:
# df -h /fh01
Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/vx/dsk/oradgh/fh01vol 934G 771G 153G 84% /fh01
root on cidcshlspora01:

So the FS grown as above.. Please let meknow if any doubts..

Thanks,
Yogesh

metastat: host: data1: must be owner of the set for this command

Hi All,

For this error, Please run teh below command. don't worry if it is not a cluster set as well. But if it is a cluster set then confirm that it is not imported on other server.

#metaset -s data1 -C take
It would import the diskset and problem would be resolved.

Thanks,
Yogesh

Local zone state changed after Patching

Hi All,

This is my first post to forum and the problem is related to Solaris Zones:
Issue: Solaris Local zone state changed to incomplete after patching Solaris recommended patch Cluster.
Troubleshooting and Resolution:
# zoneadm list -ivc
ID NAME STATUS PATH BRAND IP
0 global running / native shared
- seedzone incomplete /rpool/seedzone native shared
I moved to /rpool/seedzone and saw a extra file SUNWdetached.xml under that. I removed that file and also change the state of the local zone from incomplete to installed in /etc/zones/index. The issue got resolved. I rebooted the server and issue never came back.
Thanks,
Yogesh
