Hi all, I actually got no replies to this one at all. It's a late summary as the problem was only resolved recently due to site moves and project time lines, etc. I logged a call with SUN and it looked like it was actually a hardware issue, specifically one of the disks. The theory was that the disk was ok from a cold boot but failed to properly initialise when the server was rebooted or booted from the OK prompt. I swapped out the disk, replacing it with a new one and the problem was still there. It turns out it was a hardware issue but a faulty disk back plane rather than disk. After this was swapped out the problem disappeared.

BUT if the machine if powered down and you do a power-up it boots up directly with no problems. The jumpstart on all three were identical and the other two do not show this issue. I have compared the eeprom values and the devalias values one of the two machines to the one that is not rebooting and they are the same. About the only thing that is different is that the one causing problems is in the same building as me and I used a dumb terminal plugged directly into the ALOM port to jumpstart it, (the others are at remote sites and had the ALOM configured over the network). I haven't actually set the netsc_ipaddr, nets_ipnetmask, etc., could this be causing it to seemingly lose connection on a reboot or boot, if so why not from an initial power-up??? Any help is very appreciated and I will, as usual, summarise.
