Solution  1006302.1 :   Sun Fire[TM] 12K/15K/E20K/E25K: Domain not Booting: "Domain failed by hpost: ecode=36"  


PreviouslyPublishedAs

Applies to:

Sun Fire 12K Server
Sun Fire 15K Server
Sun Fire E20K Server - Version: Not Applicable and later    [Release: N/A and later]
Sun Fire E25K Server - Version: Not Applicable and later    [Release: N/A and later]
All Platforms

Symptoms

The domain is not booting and displays the following message at the end of
the POST output:

Exitcode = 36: Non-configuration special hpost mode successful
POST (level=32, verbose=40) execution time 6:27
[5304] Domain failed by hpost: ecode=36
Resetting and deconfiguring: CPU at SB16
Resetting and deconfiguring: HPCI at IO16
Resetting and deconfiguring: EXB at EX16

Changes

When running hPOST to check a single SB, a new domain is created and two
flags are added to the .postrc file:

no_ioadapt_ok <= only SB will be tested
no_obp_handoff <= control won't be sent to OBP after finishing POST

Cause

When you later attempt to boot the domain, these flags set in the .postrc file will cause the boot to fail. The keyswitch mode reverts to "standby".

Solution

The solution is to remove both lines from the .postrc file.
