Description
Sometimes, while examining through the /var/adm/messages file on V210/V240,
you might come across critical kernel messages reporting unretrieved
messages from the System Controller (SC).

Example:

rmclomv: [ID 917403 kern.crit] SC unretrieved msg FEB 20 07:38:38 2004 UTC
[SC System booted.]

Steps to Follow
The SC message indicates that the Advance Lights Out Management (ALOM) on
the V210/V240 system has completed booting up. This DOES NOT suggest faulty
hardware.

Example of how to reproduce the message:
1.) tail -f /var/adm/messages (Before resetting the ALOM).

Apr  6 14:44:02 v4u-v240a rmclomv: [ID 852376 kern.error] SC Login
Failure for user root.
2.) login to serial management console and reset the ALOM.

The message is not critical, it informs you that the ALOM has just booted.
The message is informational in nature. No hardware replacement is required.
