PreviouslyPublishedAs 200096 Product Sun Fire V440 Server Bug Id <SUNBUG: 6452551> Impact On V440/N440 2P systems with ALOM 1.5.4 FW that has not yet been upgrade to ALOM 1.6.3 FW may encounter an Open Boot not responding failure during power on. Contributing Factors Products:
with Parts:
and the following configurations:
Symptoms This error message occurs during system power up. SC Alert:Host Power-On Failed: System Power OK, Open Boot not responding
Root Cause The root cause was determined to be the OBP probe timeout value of 2.5 seconds set in ALOM 1.5.4. Deviation WO_35484 was issued to Celestica (CMX) to rework V440/N440 systems by loading ALOM 1.6.3 FW. Resolution Upgrade the ALOM firmware to 1.6.2 or later, which increases the timeout for OBP probe to 10 seconds. ALOM 1.6.3 is available on sun.com download center at: http://www.sun.com/servers/alom.html. Sun Field personnel should diagnose this failure mode and verify that impacted V440/N440 systems can be fixed with a flash update of ALOM 1.6.3 FW.
