You have a boot disk under svm, the machine fails to boot
and remains in ok prompt? what could be the possible reason?

Answer Posted / wipro

if the disks are in SVM, and the system do not boot up...
possibly due to the it is not able to find the boot disk.
if that is the situation we wil get a message like "CANT
OPEN BOOT DEVICE" and the system will return to OK> prompt.

in this situation the saved disk info in the OBP is wrong.

Check the disk aliases and try to boot the server. if again
failed.

boot the server in failsafe.
check the disks : echo | format
mount the disks and check.
remove the disks from svm , by editing /etc/system
and /etc/vfstab file .
drop the server to OK> prompt
now boot the server using the disk alias like disk0 ,
disk1 .... for eg : ok> boot disk0 (or) disk2
once booted.. check the disk status and delete the meta and
recreate them back properly, and attach the disks.
