This step depends on the setting of the Open Boot PROM rror reset recovery configuration variable m If the error reset recovery configuration variable is set to none the system returns immediately to the OpenBoot PROM When the OpenBoot PROM takes control it takes actions based on the setting of the OpenBoot PROM rror reset recovery configuration variable You can type any OpenBoot PROM command from the ok prompt including rebooting the Solaris operating environment with the boot command Also you can force a core file with the sync command The actions that can be configured by this variable might mean that the system will not return to the ok prompt m If the error reset recovery configuration variable is not set to none the OpenBoot PROM will automatically take recovery actions m If the error reset recovery configuration variable is set to sync default the system generates a Solaris operating environment core file and reboots the system Chapter 7 Troubleshooting 67 m Ifthe OpenBoot PROM error reset recovery configuration variable is set to boot the system is rebooted 5 If the previous actions fail to reboot the system use the poweroff and poweron commands to power cycle the system To power off the system type lom gt poweroff To power on the system type lom gt poweron Moving System Identity You may decide that the simplest way to restore service in some circumstances is to u
