■
If a fatal error is detected by POST or OpenBoot firmware, the system does not
boot regardless of the settings of
auto-boot?
or
auto-boot-on-error?
. Fatal
nonrecoverable errors include the following:
■
Any CPU failed
■
All logical memory banks failed
■
Flash RAM cyclical redundancy check (CRC) failure
■
Critical field-replaceable unit (FRU) PROM configuration data failure
■
Critical system configuration card (SCC) read failure
■
Critical application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) failure
For more information about troubleshooting fatal errors, refer to the service manual
for your server.
Reset Scenarios
Three ALOM CMT configuration variables,
diag_mode
,
diag_level
, and
diag_trigger
, control whether the system runs firmware diagnostics in response
to system reset events.
The standard system reset protocol bypasses POST completely unless the virtual
keyswitch or ALOM CMT variables and are set as follows:
The default settings for these variables are:
■
diag_mode
=
normal
■
diag_level
=
min
■
diag_trigger
=
power-on-reset
Therefore, ASR is enabled by default. For instructions, see
Automatic System Recovery” on page 38
