Server not comming after reboot :(

[bullz]

Hello Experts,

I am sorry for all confusion which I made earlier,
Let me describe what is the problem here exactly.

1) Yesterday I changed the hostname with the command of set_parms hostname
2) After changing the hostname I tried rebooting the server, looks server is not booting, I mean sever is not accessible other than alom.
3) In console I am getting into main menu (Main Menu: Enter command or menu >) after rebooting it :(
4) When I try to boot from console, I am getting the below message in console.


/sbin/auto_parms: DHCP access is disabled (see /etc/auto_parms.log)

and does it stop at this last line :

Starting PRNGD (Pseudo Random Number Generator Daemon) .............. N/A

or will it continue to give you a login prompt ?

[Lijeesh N G_1]

Hi,

Now what is the present status, Is it hanging here or are you getting login prompt??

I am geting the login prompt as normal after this.

But don't know y it's not coming up after the reboot automaticaly untill i boot it from console :(

[V. Nyga]

Hi,

maybe you should enlighten us what 'alom' is?

Also which messages do you see when connecting to console?
Can you watch the boot process when rebooting?
Can you post your /etc/hosts?

There are still some open questions, if I haven't overread something - so what os do you have? What hardware is the server?

3) In console I am getting into main menu

(Main Menu: Enter command or menu >)


Well, autoboot is not set.

Boot it up and do

# setboot -b on

# setboot -s on

>> But don't know y it's not coming up after the reboot automaticaly untill i boot it from console :(

because your autoboot setting somehow got obliterated by something you did or your terminal emulator caused at the console. Right now, I do not have the luxury of crashing one server to check what exactly you need to do to restore this but when you stop at the menu where you have type boot hit enter to let it go boot, instead of typing boot, you need to select the settings or configuration or something similar, to go in and change the autoboot setting. Right now it is set not to autoboot. when you change it, it will wait 10 seconds and will go and boot from the primary boot device. As I said,I do not remember the menu prompts so well anymore.

Thanx all who all replied.
