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 2 '11 at 20:06
Hmm never seen that - try prtdiag -v failing that I'm lost. – Iain♦ Nov 2 '11 at 20:12
I am starting to think ALOM itself may be messing up. – Mike S Nov 3 '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 3 '11 at 23:54
