Data Loss after removing Kernel Patches using “svccfg delete”command

An unmountable or inconsistent state in Sun Solaris Sparc operating system primarily occurs due to file system damage, operating system malfunctioning, Kernel damage (completely or partially), virus infection, and more. Data stored on your hard drive becomes inaccessible after you your system comes into an unmountable state. To overcome such situations, an easy way is to restore data from a complete backup. But if in case, you have not maintained any backup or backup file is unable to restore the required data, then you will need to use advanced Sun Solaris Sparc Data Recovery Software to recover your lost data.

Consider a practical scenario, where you removed a Solaris 10 Kernel patch118833-36 for SPARC using “svccfg delete” command when the “milestone” parameter is set to null. However, when you attempt to restart your system, it does not boot making all the hard drive inaccessible. Furthermore, when you attempt to reboot your system (Single User Mode), you encounter below error message:

“booting with command: boot
Boot device: rootdisk File and args:
not found: get_cpu_pagesizes
do_relocations: /platform/sun4v/kernel/cpu/sparcv9/SUNW,
UltraSPARC-T1 do_relocate failed
krtld: error during initial load/link phase
panic - boot: exitto64 returned from client program
Program terminated
{0} ok”

The system becomes unusable after the above error message appears.

Cause:

The above issue primarily occurs when both the below conditions are true:

  • A patch is being deleted using the “svccfg delete” command.
  • The “milestone” parameter is not assigned “all” value.

Resolution:

To resolve the above issue, you will need to reinstall Sun Solaris Sparc operating system. Data stored in the hard drive partition gets completely erased after you perform a clean reinstall. For complete recovery of lost data in such situations, you will need to use effective Sun Solaris Sparc Data Recovery Software. Such recovery applications use high end scanning procedures to recover lost data to recover data from formatted hard drive. These Sun Solaris Sparc Data Recovery applications perform recovery after fsck command fails to repair the system data structures.

System unbootable after installing Solaris 10 Kernel Patch

Solaris 10 Kernel Patches are primarily installed to remove all the firmware problems and software bugs. In most cases, you are benefited with installation of Solaris Kernel Patches. However, there can be instances where your system becomes unbootable after installing these patches. Furthermore, your hard drive data becomes inaccessible once your system becomes unbootable. For complete recovery of inaccessible data after such instances, you will need to restore the data from an updated backup. However, if no backup is available or backup falls short to restore the desired information, then you will need to opt for advanced Solaris Intel Recovery Software that can systematically recover your data.

Consider a practical scenario, where you install a patch 120586-04 (MP1) on Solaris 10 systems running VXVM 4.1 patch. However, after you install the new patch and restart your system, you view that your system hangs every time during a boot up. In addition, you encounter the below error message:

Boot device: disk File and args:

Cause:

The above error message primarily occurs when svccfg(1M) removes the External Dependencies.

Resolution:

To resolve the above error message and access the hard drive data, you will need to manually re-import the “/var/svc/manifest/system/emcpower/powerpath_services.xml” manifest. You will also need to complete the below steps:

svcadm disable -s powerconfigcgs
svcadm disable -s powershift
svcadm disable -s powerstartup
svccfg delete powerconfigcgs
svccfg delete powershift
svccfg delete powerstartup
svccfg import /var/svc/manifest/system/emcpower/powerpath_services.xml
svcadm enable powerstartup
svcadm enable powershift

Data Loss after installing Solaris 10 Kernel Patches

In most cases, you use a patch to upgrade your Sun Solaris operating system. These patches are also provide the latest fixes to remove all the bugs and firmware issues. While installing latest patches has many advantages, it can also result in system panic, Kernel damage, data corruption, and denial of Service security issue. In most of the above situations, your system becomes unbootable making all the data saved in your hard drive becomes inaccessible. The most easy way to access your data is by restoring it from an updated backup. But if in case, no backup is available or backup falls short to restore the required data, then you will need to use advanced Sun Solaris Sparc Data Recovery Software.

Consider a practical instance, where you install Solaris 10 with patch 118822-29 or later and without patch 118833-11. Once your patch gets installed and you restart your system, it does not boot.

Cause:

The root cause for unbootable behavior of your system is Kernel data structure corruption, which further results in Kernel damage and various other panics. The behavior can occur due to very minor changes in environment.

Resolution:

To make your system bootable and access the data saved in your hard drive, you will need to install Solaris 10 with patch 118833-11 or later on your system.

Note: Removing the already installed patches is a difficult task and removes some good updates from your system. So, you should not remove the patches you have already installed, instead locate and install the latest patch available.

In most cases, installing the above patch resolves your issue and your hard drive becomes inaccessible. However, if the above resolution fails to resolve your problem and your system remains unbootable, then you need to opt for advanced Sun Solaris Data Recovery Software to recover your data.

How to resolve “BAD SUPERBLOCK AT…” Error Message in Sun Solaris

Superblock in UNIX operating system consists of important information about the file system and behavior tuning parameters. Corruption in superblock mainly occurs due to file system corruption, unexpected system, virus infections, and more. Two major hazards of superblock corruption are unmountable hard drive and data inaccessibility. For complete access of data in such circumstances, you will need to restore the data from an updated backup. But, in case of absence of an updated backup, you will need to use advanced Sun Solaris data Recovery Software that can recover your data.

Consider a practical scenario, where you encounter the below error message when you boot your system:

“BAD SUPERBLOCK AT BLOCK 16: NUMBER OF DIRECTORIES OUT OF RANGE”

After the above error message appears, the hard drive data becomes inaccessible. In addition, you encounter the same error message even when the FSCK command attempts to check and repair the file systems at the boot time.

Cause:

The root cause for the occurrence of the above error message is the corruption in superblock.

Resolution:

To troubleshoot and resolve the above error message and access the hard drive data, you will need to take below actions:

-> Firstly, you need to run the FSCK command manually and try to boot the system.
-> If the problem persists, then you will need to use alternate superblock.

However, if both the above actions fail to resolve your issue and the data still remains inaccessible, then you will need to reinstall Sun Solaris operating system. A clean reinstall of Sun Solaris will erase all the formally saved data from the hard drive partition or volume. To recover the data after formatting the hard drive, you will need to use powerful Sun Solaris Data Recovery Software to recover the lost data. Such Sun Solaris Intel Recovery tools employ high end scanning methods to recover your lost files and folders.

Resolving Startup Error Message in Sun Solaris Operating system

The boot block in Sun Solaris operating system is an area of the hard drive that stores information for loading an operating system. Corruption in the boot block primarily occurs due to improper system shutdown, file system corruption, metadata structure damage, virus infection and more. In most cases of boot block corruption, you encounter an error message that makes your hard drive unmountable and data inaccessible. In such data loss scenarios, an ideal solution is to restore data from an updated backup. However, in case of no backup availability or backup falling short of restoring the required data, you will need to use efficient Sun Solaris Data Recovery software.

Consider a practical scenario, where you encounter any of the below error messages when you attempt to boot your system after upgrading your operating system:

“The file just loaded does not appear to be executable”
Or
“Boot device: /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/ide@8/cdrom File and args:
The file just loaded does not appear to be executable.”

Data saved in the storage device becomes inaccessible after any of the above error messages appear. In addition, the same error messages reappear each time you attempt to start your system.

Cause:

The primary cause for the occurrence of the above error message is corruption or damage in boot block.

Resolution:

To resolve the above error message and access the data, you will need to boot the system in single user mode with cdrom and reinstall boot block. To do so, type the below command:

#installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c0t3d1s1

In most cases, reinstalling the boot block resolves the above error and the data becomes accessible. However, if the above resolution fails to remove the error message, then the best option is to reinstall Sun Solaris operating system. A fresh reinstall of Sun Solaris operating system will completely erase the data stored in the selected hard drive partition.

Missing or Lost “path_to_inst file” in Sun Solaris operating system

/etc/path_to_inst file is one of the most critical file for the computer system to boot. Corruption of this file primarily occurs due to improper system shutdown, operating system malfunctioning and virus infection and more. Once the above file gets corrupted due to any of the above reasons, the system becomes unbootable making all the data stored in the hard drive inaccessible. To overcome such data loss scenarios, an up-to-date backup acts as a boon. However, if no backup is available or backup fails to restore desired information, then you will need to use advance Sun Solaris Data Recovery Software.

Consider a practical scenario, where you encounter the below error message when you attempt to boot your system:

“can not open /etc/path_to_inst file”

Data saved in the hard drive becomes inaccessible after the above error message appears. Furthermore, you receive the same error message each time you attempt to boot your system.

Cause:

Two major reasons for the occurrence of the above error message are discussed below:

-> Hardware failure with the root disk.
-> Corruption or damage in root file system

Resolution:

To resolve the above error message and access the data, you need to follow these actions:

-> Replace the hard disk in case of hardware failure.
-> In case of root file system damage, you will need to rebuild the file by using below steps:
1. Firstly, try to boot your system with –ar option as follows:
ok> boot -ar
2. Next, you will need to press Enter for all the questions asked during the booting process.
3. Lastly, select “Yes” to rebuild the “/etc/path_to_install” file.

In most cases, the above steps resolve the above error and the data becomes accessible. However, if the steps fail to perform, then you will need to reinstall Sun Solaris operating system. A clean reinstall of Sun Solaris erases all the data saved in the selected hard drive partition. For comprehensive recovery of data under such situations, you will need to use advanced Sun Solaris Data Recovery Software. Such Sun Solaris Intel Data Recovery utilities are built with interactive user interface, which makes them self-explanatory without any prior technical understanding.

How to resolve “UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY…” Error Message in Sun Solaris

An error message during the booting of Sun Solaris operating system can be caused due to file system corruption, operating system malfunctioning, superblock damage, Inode table corruption, software bugs and more. Once the error message appears, the booting process stops making all the data saved in the hard drive inaccessible. To overcome these error messages, the best solution is to restore the data from an updated backup. But, in case of no backup availability or backup falling short of restoring desired information, Sun Solaris Intel Recovery Software comes to rescue.

Consider a practical example, where you encounter the below error message when you attempt to boot Sun Solaris operating system:

“/dev/rdsk/variable: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY”

Data stored in hard drive becomes inaccessible after the above error message appears. In addition, you encounter the same error message each time you attempt to start your system.

Cause:

The root cause for the occurrence of the above error message is corrupted UFS (Unix File System). At the boot time, the /etc/rcS scripts run the fsck (1M) command to check the integrity of UFS. In case of corrupted file system, the fsck command tries to repair the file system automatically. However, if the command is unable to repair the file system then it interrupts the boot procedure and produces an error message.

Resolution:

To resolve the above error message and access the data saved on the hard drive, you will need to run these commands:

1. Firstly, run sack –n on the corrupted file system to analyze the exact problem.
2. Then, run fsck command manually to repair the file system. To run fsck command manually, you will need to specify options as recommended by the boot script.

In most cases, running the fsck command manually resolves the issue. However, if the command falls short to resolve the issue and the data remains inaccessible, then you need to opt for advanced Sun Solaris Intel Data Recovery Software to recover the lost data. Such Sun Solaris Intel Recovery tools incorporate advanced scanning methods to recover your lost data. Such recovery tools recover lost data after fsck command is unable to repair the system data structures.

Superblock Corruption in Sun Solaris

A superblock in UFS (Unix File System) volume is the most critical part that contains vital information about the file system’s geometry and behavior tuning parameters. Corruption of superblock primarily occurs due to overlapping disk partitions, operating system malfunctioning, unexpected system shutdown, virus infections and more. Once the superblock gets corrupted, the file system can not be mounted. This results in inaccessibility of data stored in the hard drive. To overcome such data loss situations, you need to restore the data from an updated backup. However, if no backup is available or backup fails to restore the required information, Sun Solaris Intel Recovery Software comes to rescue.

As a practical scenario, when you attempt to boot Sun Solaris Intel operating system, you encounter the below error message:

“BAD SUPER BLOCK: variable”

The above error message indicates that the system is unable to read the superblock. After the above error message appears, the data saved in the hard drive becomes inaccessible. In addition, you encounter the same error message each time you attempt to start your system.

Cause:
The root cause for the occurrence of the above error message is the corruption of superblock.

Resolution:
To resolve the above error message and access the data, you will need to follow these steps:

  • Run the format command, select the disk involved, and print out the partition information.
  • format : N > partition > print

  • Run newfs command with the -N option to print out the file system parameters, including the location of backup super-blocks.
  • newfs -N /dev/dsk/device

  • Select a super-block from a non-overlapping area of the disk and run
    fsck command with the new master super-block number.
  • fsck -o b=NNNN /dev/dsk/device

However, if both the procedure falls short to resolve the issue and you still encounter the same error message, then you will need to use powerful Sun Solaris Intel Data Recovery Software to recover the lost data. Such Sun Solaris Intel Recovery tools use advanced scanning mechanisms to recover your lost files and folders. With highly interactive user interface and advanced features, these tools are easy to understand without any prior technical knowledge.
