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.
Stellar Phoenix Solaris Sparc software is a efficient Sun Solaris Sparc Data Recovery application that recovers all lost, missing, and deleted data from Solaris operating system on Sparc platform. This non destructive recovery application is compatible with UFS file systems. It gets installed on Windows (2003, XP, 2000, NT, ME, 98, and 95) and the affected UNIX hard drive should be connected as slave.
