Hi,
We have a SunFire V880, hooked up with 2 T3 arrays. When ever we issue a reboot command on the system, it hangs at the same place right where it says
syncing file systems done.
To bring it back we shutdown power and it comes clean.
By the way init 6 command works fine.
Has anyone come across this problem yet?
Please let me know if more info needed.
Thanks for taking time.
I use HPUX so the commands may be diff, but I don't believe so.
"reboot" is only for lower levels like single user mode when most of your daemons and services are not running. Reboot doesn't go through all the proper shutdown scripts in the rc* directories for Killing services and daemons. It just goes directly to halt, don't pass go, don't collect $200... go directly to HALT...without allowing for a graceful shutdown of your system.
I believe that you should be using the "shutdown" command. Do a man:
man 1m shutdown to access the Admin manpage for shutdown command.
