Solution  1009190.1 :   Sun Fire[TM] V210/V240: Error message "Unknown or badly programmed LOM device"  


PreviouslyPublishedAs
212721

Symptoms
Sun Fire[TM] V210/V240 showing:

"Unknown or badly programmed LOM device"

during Solaris[TM] 8 or 9 boot after upgrading ALOM from version 1.3 to version 1.5.

Resolution
The V210/V240 contains Advanced Lights Out Management - ALOM for system management. The error occurs because the LOM (Lights Out Management) packages were installed on the system that is meant for Netra[TM] systems. The V210/V240 uses ALOM and not LOM, this causes a conflict and the error message is generated during the boot of Solaris[TM] 8 or 9.

The resolution is to remove the following LOM packages:

 system      SUNWlomm                        LOMlite manual pages
system      SUNWlomr                         LOMlite driver (root)
system      SUNWlomu                        LOMlite Utilities (usr)

This tends to happen if the install was a jumpstart and a install script installs the package. Also if at the end of an install someone install all of the packages from the supplement CD.
