Solaris 8 (TSOL) Fatal Fault at MB.T_ENC

Question

In Trusted Solaris 8 (TSOL) I am receiving the following error on the console:

<date> <hostname> rmclomv: SC initiating hard host system shutdown due to fault at MB.T_ENC.

Is anyone aware of what exactly MB.T_ENC is and what may be causing this error?

UPDATE: I mixed up servers and originally posted this as Solaris 10 TE. However, it is TSOL 8.

This is telling you that your system has been shutdown because the temperature in the enclosure got too hot (or possibly that you have a faulty sensor). Check that all your fans are working and not blocked. Have a look in the output of

/usr/platform/`uname -m`/sbin/prtdiag -v

which gives some information about the temperature sensors and their location.

Thanks. From that I get "picl_initialize failed: General system failure". – Mike S Nov 02 '11 at 20:06
Hmm never seen that - try `prtdiag -v` failing that I'm lost. – user9517 Nov 02 '11 at 20:12
I am starting to think ALOM itself may be messing up. – Mike S Nov 03 '11 at 21:31
The picl error sounds like picld isn't running. Check for it with ps, and try starting it manually if not. – James O'Gorman Nov 03 '11 at 23:54
