SB0 disabled
Hi,
I have problems booting up my Sun Netra 1280, cause SB0 has been flagged as disabled.

Mon Oct 16 09:55:14 noname.example.com lom: Excluded unusable, unlicensed, failed or disabled board: /N0/SB0
lom>setls -s enable -l SB0
SB0: Component Health Status of /N0/SB0 is not OK.
Any idea how to fix it without using Sun Support?
Cheers
Sonic

When a piece of hardware is CHS-disabled in the V1280's through the E6900's
(Component Health Status)
You usually are required to have a Sun field service engineer to come onsite
and re-enable the item, using software tools that are only available to them.
Then they need to follow through with certain validation tests to determine
if the component status was a fluke event, or whether there is actually a faulty piece of hardware,
(and which piece it actually might be, such as systemboard versus baseplane).
Call Sun.Open a service case and get an accurate diagnosis.
These forums are not techsupport, they're simple discussions between end users.

I have had the same issue with a SF6800. Even though all hardware diags came back with no problems every couple of reboots the board would drop out. These instructions i am providing is for anyone is in a similar situation as myself as we own the server outright and it isn't covered under maintenance (Yet!) so use the following steps if replacing hardware yourself (At own risk). The service mode password is actually a generated password by sun based on a couple of things. To get to "Service Mode" (Type "service" at the SC prompt to get the password prompt), Then log a call with SUN, if the box is under maintenance you will have an engineer come out and replace the board then they will get a password generated which is based on the hostid
