Unable to ping or telnet to system, its just boots up to "ok" prompt
Experts,
I have a SUN Ultra 5/10 system that i'm unable to ping or telnet to. I do a reset-all on the system and it just comes backup at the OK prompt. I don't have experience with SUN and i'm just trying to get it back up online. Any helps to get this system backup will be great.
thanks.

It seams that your system is set to boot from network
run
boot disk
and see if it boots
run
boot disk
and see if it boots
when you run the printenv command from ok prompt what is the value for boot-device or boot-from
ASKER
Disk net is the boot-device and when I do boot disk i get the following:
can't open boot device
can't open boot device
It seams that your disk is not working? have you encountered any problem like system crashed or power interrupt?
can you check if the system see the disk(s)?

It is not reading any ide disks; did this box ever boot? If your not sure, Can you open up the box? If it has your disk might have died. If it is an original ultra 5/10. It is pretty old.
Do you have a solaris cd?
you could do a ok> boot cdrom
it will boot into a mini solaris and you can run some diagnostics on the disk.

I had the system inspected by a SUN Admin and found bad HDD, it was replaced and new OS installed and data restored from backups.
So what happened? I am curious.
boot
run
printenv
and look for the value of auto-boot
try to set it to true with
setenv auto-boot? true
