Reboot Corrupts the Kernel Registry

(Itanium Systems Only)

The reboot command used with the -r -n -q options corrupts

the kernel registry /stand/current/krs/config.krs after

reboot. You may encounter this defect when using the Oracle 10g

RAC with the cluster ready service. Any error detected by Oracle

leading to the reboot -n may cause this corruption and result

in an unusable system. If you encounter this problem you will see

messages similar to the following:

/sbin/ioinitrc: /sbin/krs_sysinit: ERROR: Unable to retrieve

module information from configuration 'current':

kc_kr_open_node(/kconfig/Modules): KRS error code 2

WARNING: Unable to load modules scheduled to be loaded at boot

time: kc_mod_get failed.

ERROR: Unable to read title of running configuration: KRS error

code 2 WARNING: Unable to read the currently booted kernel

configuration in order to generate an updated system file. The

system file may be out of sync with the booted kernel

configuration.
