Hi all, we are running some tests with oracle RAC. we have 4 nodes (v40z's with S10U1) that are sharing two storage devices with fully redundant paths (2 HBAs, 2 FC switches, 2 3510s). As part of the tests we need to inject faults one of the switches (powercycle). The 3510's contain only oracle related data. When the switch comes back up oracle instructs the nodes to reboot. The problem we have is that only one nodes comes up. The other 3 nodes give me this msg in the console and refuse to boot. I tried the suggested fix (svcadm clear system/boot-archive) which didn't work. We have no idea how to
a) avoid this problem, b) fix it. Have you seen this before? any advise? why is it happening? is ti a bug? thanks in advance for any help, Fernando WARNING - The following files in / differ from the boot archive: /etc/path_to_inst /etc/devices/devid_cache The recommended action is to reboot and select "Solaris failsafe" option from the boot menu. Then follow prompts to update the boot archive. To continue booting at your own risk, clear the service: # svcadm clear system/boot-archive Feb 14 16:39:20 svc.startd[7]: svc:/system/boot-archive:default: Method "/lib/svc/method/boot-archive" failed with exit status 95.
