Error messages 92
Message: panic: vfs_mountroot: cannot mount root
rebooting...
resetting....
Explanation: The system is misconfigured.
Response: There are two possible causes:
1.
You attempted to boot from a nonbootable device.
Check the device name and try again. The alternate
boot device may be set up incorrectly.
2.
You failed to reboot after mirroring root
(
olds -mirrored -setroot
), leaving the system
unstable. In that case, do the following:
a. Boot from the CD.
b. Mount
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /a
(or whatever
partition is your root partition).
c. Remove
Solstice DiskSuite
entries from
/a/etc/system
(i.e. everything between tags
"mddb ...")
d. Remove
/a/etc/opt/SUNWmd/md*
files, i.e.:
rm /a/etc/opt/SUNWmd/md*
e. Replace
/dev/md/rdsk/d21
entries with
/dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s0
(or whatever your boot
device name is).
f. Boot:
/usr/sbin/shutdown -y -g0 -i6
g. If the system still refuses to reboot, reload
Solaris
.
Message:
filename
restored from
filebackup
Explanation: The action failed, and the md.tab file was restored from
the previous version. Consequently, the configuration files
reflect the previous system setup.
Response: Determine the cause of the problem and try again.
Message:
resync in progress
Response: The command entered cannot be executed because the
mirrors are currently being resynched. Try again later.
You can tell whether a resync is in progress by entering a
metastat
command.
