Solution  1006302.1 :   Sun Fire[TM] 15k: Domain not Booting: "Domain failed by hpost: ecode=36"  


PreviouslyPublishedAs

Symptoms
The domain is not booting and displays the following message at the end of
the POST output:

Exitcode = 36: Non-configuration special hpost mode successful
POST (level=32, verbose=40) execution time 6:27
[5304] Domain failed by hpost: ecode=36
Resetting and deconfiguring: CPU at SB16
Resetting and deconfiguring: HPCI at IO16
Resetting and deconfiguring: EXB at EX16

Resolution
When running hPOST to check a single SB, a new domain is created and two
flags are added to the .postrc file:

no_ioadapt_ok <= only SB will be tested
no_obp_handoff <= control won't be sent to OBP after finishing POST

When you later attempt to boot the domain, these flags set in the .postrc
file will cause the boot to fail. The keyswitch mode reverts to "standby".

The solution is to remove both lines from the .postrc file.
