Unable to warm reboot AlphaServer 4000?

» close window

The Question is:

 
AlphaServer 4000/533, Uniprocessor, 512MB, KZPAC-CA (2), KZPAA-AA, DE500-BA,
 graphics card, OpenVMS V6.2-1H3, SROM V3.0, XSROM V5.7, SRM console 5.7-5,
 some TIMA kits installed (LAN05, CPU1603, SCSI08, DRIV18).  The system disk is
 on a KZPAC (as are all t
he other live, important disks.)
 
Cannot autoreboot the machine via SYS$SYSTEM:SHUTDOWN autoreboot=yes.  Also,
 fails to boot if SRM environment variable boot_reset is OFF and an init
 command is not issued prior to the reboot.
 
This is the mess:
 
[ $sys$system:shutdown with reboot=yes]
 
 
 
%SHUTDOWN-I-REMOVE, all installed images will now be removed
%SHUTDOWN-I-DISMOUNT, all volumes will now be dismounted

Any init prior to booting DRA3 works fine.  If the init does not run (like
 during a shutdown/reboot), no go.
 
I've tried booting -fl 0,10000 and there is nothing (i.e. it bombs out before
 reading the boot block.)

Changing the auto_action setting to each of the three settings makes no
 difference.
 
Thanks for your assistance.
 
 


The Answer is :

 
  This initially appears to be a hardware or console problem, or
  (obviously) other situation where a reset is necessary.
