ALOM firmware 1.5.4 and not upgraded to ALOM 1.6.3 FW

Symptoms

This error message occurs during system power up.

   SC Alert:Host Power-On Failed: System Power OK,
Open Boot not responding

Root Cause

The root cause was determined to be the OBP probe timeout value of 2.5 seconds set in ALOM 1.5.4.

Deviation WO_35484 was issued to Celestica (CMX) to rework V440/N440 systems by loading ALOM 1.6.3 FW.

Resolution

Upgrade the ALOM firmware to 1.6.2 or later, which increases the timeout for OBP probe to 10 seconds.

ALOM 1.6.3 is available on Oracle download center.

Sun Field personnel should diagnose this failure mode and verify that impacted V440/N440 systems can be fixed with a flash update of ALOM 1.6.3 FW.
