How to fix the SP if it behaves weirdly:

Sometimes the SP on these machines stop working, e.g. you can't power cycle. If this happens, connect as the user sunservice and type reboot. The SP will reboot and should start working normally.

• Connect with ssh root@machine.ipmi. Password is the root password.
• Commands:

  connect com2 

  connect to the serial console (type ^\ to exit)

  racadm serveraction powerdown 

  turn the machine off

  racadm serveraction powerup 

  turn the machine on

  racadm serveraction powercycle

If you get "connect: com2 port is currently in use" when trying to use the serial console: reset the SP with "racadm racreset", wait a couple of minutes, and reconnect.
