Description
If any device is specified with the select
command of OpenBoot PROM first but
then the unselect-dev command is not
executed, and subsequently the boot
command is used to start Oracle Solaris
from a network device, the following
defect will occur.
On the console of the logical domain, the
"seek failed" and "Can't mount root"
messages are displayed, and the starting
of Oracle Solaris fails. Then, the "I/O
device error detected" message is
registered in the error log, and the logical
domain is reset. After the logical domain
is reset, the device specified with the
select command is degraded.
After reset, the logical domain enters
either of the following states depending
on the setting of OpenBoot PROM
environment variable "auto-boot?".
- If auto-boot? is true
Oracle Solaris is started from the
device that is set as the boot-device. If,
however, the device specified with the
select command, above, is the same as
the device that has been set as the
boot-device, this device is degraded, so
that Oracle Solaris will fail to start, and
the ok prompt appears.
- If auto-boot? is false
The ok prompt appears, in the same
way as in normal operation.
Workaround
After specifying a device and executing
the select command, be sure to execute
the unselect-dev command before
executing the boot command.
[Example]
{0} ok select /pci@8000/pci@4/pci@0/
pci@1/network@0
{0} ok unselect-dev
{0} ok boot net
[How to restore]
- If, after the defect occurs, the logical
domain is in the ok prompt state
Execute the following command to
reset the logical domain.
{0} ok reset-all
- If, after the defect occurs, Oracle Solaris
has been started in the logical domain
Use the shutdown command to first
enter the ok prompt state and then set
environment variable auto-boot? to
false. Then, use the reset-all command
to restart OpenBoot PROM.
[Example]
# shutdown -y -g0 -i0
{0} ok setenv auto-boot? false
{0} ok reset-all
After recovery, any device that was
degraded as a result of this defect will be
recognized normally. Ignore the message
registered in the error log when the
defect occurred.
