Question: Any ideas on how to generate the service password for the system controller? Answers: None Basically Sun can generate the password using an internal application https://sfservicepass.sfbay/mode-policy.html Why do you need the password? To re-enable components which are incorrectly Auto Diag'ed / Component Health Status disabled. I received info on a number of cases where AD had incorrectly CHS disabled additional components. eg. memory error disables memory + CPUs. In our case a network card loopback test on one card disabled 4 network cards - 2 onboard and 2 PCI. In some cases the component is changed, but the new component is still CHS disabled. To re-test the component you need to 'setchs -s ok -r "Testing" -c component' BUT you need a Sun supplied SC password to run setchs. If you have a server that has a system controller, and you are not on maintenance contract, then you are screwed. I suggest that if you are buying a new server, then before paying, insist on getting a permanent SC password.
