Symptoms
Sun Fire[TM] 15K: Console stuck in IOSRAM mode

Description:

Console cannot be toggled from IOSRAM to network.

~= Toggle the communication path between the network and IOSRAM interfaces.

The console was stuck in IOSRAM mode. On typing ~  IOSRAM mode is shown following ~= which should have toggled it.

Resolution
Process for enabling dman interface

An /etc/ hostname.dman0 file is required for each domain. If the file is not configured, Solaris[TM] does not plumb the domain side I1 interface, thus it cannot switch to network.

Create the hostname.dman0 file, and then plumb and bring up the interface.

Example:

# vi /etc/hostname.dman0
192.168.100.2 netmask + broadcast + private up

Create a file for each domain. You can get the IP address from the /etc/opt/SUNWSMS/config/MAN.cf file.

Additional Information
How to enable the toggling of the console while the domain is in Single User mode with Solaris 10
In order to have the ~= work properly the following services should also be enabled:

    # svcadm enable svc:/system/filesystem/local:default
    # svcadm enable svc:/network/initial:default
    # svcadm enable svc:/platform/sun4u/sckmd:default

If the services are not enabled the following error will result
Sep 10 11:39:30 2008 v4u-15ka-sc1-gmp02 dxs[2092]-C(): [4953 69289009971095 NOTICE ConsoleCvcd.cc 270] Failed to switch domain console to network mode, due to KMD errors; sckmd may not be running on the domain.
