58 Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800/3800 System Controller Command Reference Manual • October 2001
controlled by setting the OpenBoot PROM error-reset-recovery configuration
variable. For the definition of this variable and the various settings, see
TABLE 3-10 in
“setupdomain” on page 76.
Note that the OpenBoot PROM reset command does not generate a core file as this
command does.
You cannot reset a domain that has been paused. The domain is paused
automatically when hardware detects an error. Messages on the domain console
indicate that the domain is paused.
To take a domain out of the paused state:
1. Turn the keyswitch off with setkeyswitch off.
2. Turn the keyswitch on with setkeyswitch on.

This section describes how to recover from a hung or paused domain.
Examples

This command uses XIR (externally initiated reset) to try to obtain diagnostic data.
To perform the equivalent operation as the OpenBoot PROM reset-all command
(
CODE EXAMPLE 3-33), type:
