A kernel patch caused the machine to panic, leaving it in a confused state. I was able to boot from a CD and back out the patch, but it did not update the boot archive, even after issuing
/sbin/bootadm update-archive -R /a

to fix:

Boot into the disk failsafe, then run:

/a/boot/solaris/bin/create_ramdisk -R /a

/usr/sbin/flarcreate -cSn “some comment” -a “some_email@somewhere.com” -R / -X /root/exclude_from_flar.txt /path/to/archive.flar

without the ‘-a’ the flar install will fail with the error: “ERROR: Could not find archive”

ksh -o vi
export TERM=vt100
/usr/openwin/bin/resize
or, If booted from CD or in failsafe:
/a/usr/openwin/bin/resize

tunefs.ocfs2 -S

select inst_id,opname, totalwork, sofar, time_remaining from gv$session_longops where totalwork > sofar order by time_remaining;

export DG=SOME-DG
clear; for i in `vxprint -ht -g ${DG}|grep DISA| grep ^pl | awk '{print $2}'`; do
echo  "vxmend -g ${DG} fix stale $i"
echo "vxmend -g ${DG} fix clean $i"; done
vxvol -g ${DG} startall

Problem: not able to connect to the console

-> start /CH/BL1/SP/cli
Are you sure you want to start /CH/BL1/SP/cli (y/n)? y

…just hangs indefinitely

Solution: We need to reset the serial port to the blade.

-> reset /CH/BL1/SP
Are you sure you want to reset /CH/BL1/SP (y/n)? y
Performing hard reset on /CH/BL1/SP

-> start cli
Are you sure you want to start /CH/BL1/SP/cli (y/n)? y

… connects successfully to the console now.
