Cause

Error setting the keyswitch value

The keyswitch_state property can have the following states:

-> help /SYS keyswitch_state
    Properties:
        keyswitch_state : Keyswitch state.
        keyswitch_state : Possible values = Normal, Standby, Diag, Locked
        keyswitch_state : User role required for set = a

which are:

Normal   The SPARC server can power itself on and start the boot process.
Standby The SPARC server is prevented from powering on.
Diag       The SPARC server can power on and use the Oracle ILOM default host diagnostic property values to provide fault coverage. When enabled, this option overrides user-specified Oracle ILOM diagnostic property values.
Locked   The SPARC server can power itself on, however you are prohibited from updating flash devices or modify the CLI property value set for /HOST send_break_action=break.

and the keyswitch value is in this case "null", which is the issue:

-> show /SYS keyswitch_state
/SYS
Properties:
keyswitch_state =

Solution

Set the keyswitch to a valid value, as example:

-> set /SYS keyswitch_state=Normal
Set 'keyswitch_state' to 'normal'

and check the keyswitch value:

-> show /SYS keyswitch_state
/SYS
Properties:
keyswitch_state = Normal

and start the system:

-> start /SYS

and if the system is unstartable, perform a power-cycle of the system by disconnecting/connecting the power cables.
