My SUN V210 refuses to fully boot up. We had a power outage (ie. someone tripped the cord) and thereafter the Sun will not come up, and the OS is not starting. The LED on the front is not lit.
Monitor gets no feed, so I plugged in via the management port.
The system comes up to:
Trap 3e. and gives the {0} ok prompt.
From there you can only go to the ALOM, and not much else.
I opened up the box, and receded the CPUs and the video, with no result.
Am I fried? or is there a hope?
BTW, please do not double post in multiple forums. Your other duplicate thread was deleted.

i know it sounds kinda stupid but are your keys in the proper position? everything is turned on and pluged in?
even from the OK prompt you cant type boot?
what happens if you type boot?
Did you do all that was suggested in your earlier post of Dec 12?
(See Sun is hung/dead )
You mentioned in your earlier post you were calling SUN - what happened there?
You mentioned that you were going to reinstall the OS - did you try that?
Well, the V210 does not have a key turn-up.
It has a skinny key card and that is inserted ok.
Tried to re-load the SO, but.. cannot mount the CD rom. That seems down too.
SUN was not of much help, because I am currently on a military base in Guantanamo Cuba, and phone support was very poor from the S.Florida support office.
I'm giving up and taking the SUN back to Florida tomorrow and have SUN come on site and take a look at it.
Thanks for all your help!

How critical is the system?
If it is a mission critical system that must be up immediately, we can try to help you!

Thanks Neo!
THe sys isn't mission critical right now. It will be in the furute, as it will be a firewall. I was in the process of testing Raptor on it.
Hopefully it will be back operational next week.
Good Holidays!

If you only need a quick firewall, consider taking one of your Intel based machines and installing Linux (or installing Linux on your dead Sun platform). But since your Sun box is 'dead' , I recommend using one of your Intel based systems and build a Linux-based firewall.
You can build a firewall from scratch in a few hours with Linux. You will not be able to use Raptor (I don't think, but I could be wrong) but you can easily set up firewall rule sets with Linux and ipchains() or ipfwadmin().
There are many links on how to build a Linux firewall on the net, just Google and you will find.
