Hi, everyone. I have a little problem. Our primary server hung on something last night, and I don’t know what. I could not get into it, even with ssh. So, maybe I did something stupid, but I powered the machine off. Now it will not boot.
Editing the GRUB menu options, removing the console line and adding “-v -m verbose” to the kernel line gave me the following output, after a very long time. (Several minutes, which is long for this machine.) — Jul 4 11:51:59 svc.startd[10]: svc:/system/boot-archive:default: Method or service exit timed out. Killing contract 27. Jul 4 11:51:59 svc.startd[10]: svc:/system/boot-archive:default: Method "/lib/svc/method/boot-archive" failed due to signal KILL. timed out. Killing contract 27. — It kicked me into a maintenance boot prompt. svcs -xv [...] <snip> svc:/network/rpc/smserver:default (removable media management) State: unitialized since July 4, 2014 11:48:58 AM MDT Reason: Restarter svc:/network/inetd:default is not running. See: http://illumos.org/msg/SMF-8000-5H See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 1M rpc.smserverd Impact: 2 dependent services are not running: svc:/milestone/multi-user-server:default svc:/system/zones:default — Since it referred to the removable media management, I unplugged the IDE cables from the CD Rom and the Floppy drive, disabled the IDE controller in the BIOS, and tried booting again. Same thing. I tried booting into a previous boot environment. Same thing. Could anyone please tell me what I should do next? If so, I would GREATLY appreciate it.
