Solaris booting problem

Hi,

I am new to Unix family. We have a test server (Sunfire V440) in our concern, when we restarted the machine we found that the machine continuously goes to the single user mode and asking to run fsck on all filesystems. Moreover got an error displayed in the screen as SC Alert: SC Request to send Break to host what the error is. I am not sure about this can anybody help wt i have to do and explain this. In a thread i saw to reset-all in the sc prompt. What will happen if we give reset-all?.

Regards,
Hari.

is not an error.

I assume you have run fsck like it wants to? And that you are shutting it down cleanly?

reset-all at the OK prompt will reset the box.

Hi,

Thanks for your ans but reset-all will reset the box means including the server IP and datas ah?. Is there any way to recover the lost datas if it happens in system level without restoring the backup.

reset-all does not affect your data. it is just a power cycle.
