Manual System Reset
Caution – Forcing a manual system reset results in loss of system state data, and
should be attempted only as a last resort. After a manual system reset, all state
information is lost, which inhibits troubleshooting the cause of the problem until the
problem recurs.
Use the ALOM reset command, or poweron and poweroff commands, to reset
the server. Using these commands results in the loss of all system coherence and
state information. A manual system reset could corrupt the server’s file systems,
although the fsck command usually restores them. Use this method only when
nothing else works.
