Sun Fire X4150 Server Product Notes
47
You should now be able to let the system boot normally into 64-bit Solaris OS.
When Solaris 10 5/08 is released, these steps will not be necessary, since the required
patches will have been integrated into this updated release.
Kernel Panic Might Occur During Reboot on
Solaris 10 11/06 OS Systems if More Than One
HDD Is Present
This error may occur on the Sun Fire X4150 server running Solaris 10 11/06 OS with
more than one hard disk drive present:
Panic cannot mount root path.
Skipping System dump, no dump device configured
rebooting.....
This is a known issue and bug CR 6584147 is being actively worked on for a
resolution.
Workaround
A reboot of the system will clear this error.
In the rare case where the error is not cleared by a reboot, please boot into Single
User mode to clear the error and, once successfully booted, reboot the system.
Should this scenario also be unsuccessful in clearing the error, power off and boot
the system into Failsafe mode. Once in Failsafe mode, a reboot should clear the error.
Solaris 10 OS PreInstall Issues
The Sun Fire X4150 server with Solaris 10 11/06 OS has a number of patches
included to support the Sun StorageTek SAS controller. Please note that if the
preinstalled image is removed from HD0, you
must
use the Solaris Recovery DVD
supplied with the Sun Fire X4150 server to reinstall the operating system because it
includes support for your controller and hard disk drives. This issue will be resolved
with the Solaris 10 8/07 OS release.
