Dumping centerplane state to file...
System state (mask=30000) dumped to:
/var/opt/SUNWssp/adm/testdm/xfstate.0310.1100.47
Exitcode = 79: Not -C, couldn't determine current bus config
POST (level=127, verbose=20) execution time 2:09

The easiest solution to this problem is to use the bringup command with the
-l option to specify the diagnostic level.  The bringup command will
automatically configure the centerplane if required.
% bringup -l127
An alternative solution is to run the hpost command with the -C option.
The hpost command should only be used for diagnostic purposes;
in other cases, use bringup.
CAUTION : Running hpost -C on a platform which has running domains
will cause these domains to fail/panic/arbstop. hpost -C should
never be run on a platform which already has running domains.
From the man page of hpost :
-C        Do the initial configuration of  the  centerplane.
If  -C  is not invoked, hpost  assumes that one or
more other domains in the same  physical  platform
have  already  been  configured  and  are running.
hpost  probes the centerplane to determine the bus
configuration,  the  only configuration it consid-
ers. If hpost  cannot determine  a  valid   confi-
guration from this probe, it immediately fails.
Therefore the command :
	% hpost -l127 -C
Should work fine AS LONG AS NO DOMAINS ARE CURRENTLY RUNNING.  Again,
the bringup command is the safer solution.
After the first hpost with a -C, you can run hpost
against any subsequent domains which are built.
