Answer / kiranraj

There might be some hardware issue, Go to the editor mode
or sc and do a break or port break respectively....the
server should come to ok prompt..check for errors in the
logs..ie; showlogs at sc if you find any error report it to
sun eng..or run diagnostic and find the fault hardware and
replace it...(usually the issue would be with one of the
cpu/dimm or the system board)

Answer / j.srinivasa rao

I faced the same problem in few days back,found that
processor cooling fan is not working properly some times
the cooling fan is not running properly so by that time
whatever the heat generated from the processor is not going
out of the cpu,so more heat generated and it is strucks in
inside the cabinet,finally what iam telling is pls replace
the processor cooling fan this is one of the reason not all
the time.
