Solution Type Problem Resolution Sure Solution 1008916.1 : Sun Enterprise [TM] 3500 OBP 3.2.x Will not create boot devalias if slot 1 has type 5 graphic I/O board 501-4884 installed
PreviouslyPublishedAs 212267 Symptoms Open Boot [TM] Prom 3.2.x will not create a devalias for booting Sun Enterprise[TM] 3500 server internal fc-al disks when GRAPHIC I/O board type 5 (501-4884) is installed in slot 1. Open Boot Program 3.2.x probing process for creating devalias does not interrogate /sbus@2. Thus a devalias for booting system will not be created. GRAPHIC type 5 I/O board is unique in that it's onboard fc-al (socal) controller path is located under /sbus@3, where the normally installed SBUS type 4 I/O board (501-4883) internal fc-al (socal) path is /sbus@2. If 501-4884-0x GRAPHIC I/O board is installed in slot 1 and system requires booting from internal Sun Enterprise 3500 fc-al disk you will need to manually create devalias. Resolution Creating the devalias for booting: ======================================================================== Use "show-disks" and "probe-fcal-all" to gather path info. ======================================================================== {a}ok show-disks a) /sbus@2,0/SUNW,socal@d,10000/sf@1,0/ssd b) /sbus@2,0/SUNW,socal@d,10000/sf@0,0/ssd q) NO SELECTION Enter Selection, q to quit: q {a} ok probe-fcal-all /sbus@3,0/SUNW,socal@d,10000/sf@1,0 Port#0 received soc-status=14 /sbus@3,0/SUNW,socal@d,10000/sf@0,0 WWN 2005080020a1ef52 Loopid 1 WWN 210000203714cf98 Loopid e2 Disk SEAGATE ST19171FCSUN9.0G137E9841W393 WWN 210000203714d483 Loopid e4 Disk SEAGATE ST19171FCSUN9.0G137E9841V820 WWN 210000203714da86 Loopid e8 Disk SEAGATE ST19171FCSUN9.0G137E9842V612 WWN 210000203714d783 Loopid ef ======================================================================= Create the alias for the boot disk: ======================================================================= Method I -------- {a} OK nvalias mybootdisk /sbus@3,0/SUNW,socal@d,1000/sf@1,0/ssd@0,0 -- or -- {a} OK nvalias mybootdisk /sbus@3,0/SUNW,socal@d,1000/sf@1,0/WWN210000203714d483,0:a NOTE: The WWN in this example is the WWN of the boot disk.
