Hi Lalita,<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: left;">The OK prompt is when a sparc solaris
machine is at its bootstrap stage. Their are no services running at
this point. It can only be accessed via a console server, direct
connection to servers console port, via a KVM switch or ALOM (not sure
if this was available on Solaris 8).<br>
For all intents and purposes the server is down at this point and it needs booting so a normal check host should be adequete.<br>
<br>
Thanks</div><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 6/20/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Lalita Drolia</b> <<a href="mailto:ldrolia-2Tjm5za6O7k@public.gmane.org">ldrolia-2Tjm5za6O7k@public.gmane.org</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I have come to know that there is a situation in Solaris
machines called "Ok Prompt" where the machine can be pinged but not
accessed as it is hung.</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Can you tell me the best check to deploy in such a situation?
I decided to use check_ssh but unfortunately solaris 8 servers do not have ssh
installed by default.</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">What could be another alternative in such a scenario?</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Kindly help.</span></font></p>
