Sunfire 480R + boot command does not boot from disk

Hi All,

I'm trying to work out why when I type ok>boot

the server keeps booting off the network. It's almost as it does not find any disks and then since diag-device is set to net it tries that instead. The same happens even if I do an init 6 or reboot from solaris?

the output from eeprom looks like:

Hello,

Sun Fire 480R ?

Maybe Fire v480 ?

This is device path for the two internal disks (per InfoDoc 21216):

Disk 1 /pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0

Disk 2 /pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@1,0

These are your current settings in the OBP

boot-device=/pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/disk@w500000e010f124c1,0:a rootmirror disk net

nvramrc=devalias rootmirror /pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/disk@w500000e010f23261,0:a

Both point the the same first slot (location in the fc-al backplane), but use different WWNs.

Use show-disks to display the available disks and re-assign the boot-device accordingly.

P.S.: I just noticed that you never provided feedback in previous posts.
