Chapter 1 Notes after the Installation

This chapter describes the post-installation notes.

1.1 PRIMEPOWER - Specific Notes

1.1.1 Modifications of Solaris OS (Patches, PTF, Program Local Fix)

Only the modifications (patches, PTF, Program Local Fix, etc.) for PRIMEPOWER provided by FUJITSU LIMITED can be applied to existing PRIMEPOWER systems running Solaris OS software. Do not use patches provided by Sun Microsystems, Inc. on the World Wide Web or those provided by other vendors. Also be careful that you do not apply modifications (patches, PTF, Program Local Fix, etc.) intended for other systems (GP7000D, etc.) provided by FUJITSU LIMITED. For information on Solaris OS modifications, contact a FUJITSU systems engineer.

1.1.2 Changing the date and time

PRIMEPOWER 1/200/250/400/450/600/650/850

Use the date command in single user mode if you need to change the date and time for testing purposes.

PRIMEPOWER 800/900/1000/1500/2000/2500

See "System Console Software User's Guide" for information on how to change the date and time.

1.1.3 Serial port

1.1.3.1 PRIMEPOWER800/1000/2000

z All serial ports on the system board are to be used for the System Management Console. z Do not access the following devices relating to serial ports. Also do not change the setting of

applications using the following device files (such as a port monitor).

- /dev/term/a, b, ...

- /dev/cua/a, b, ...

- /dev/term/fa000, fa001, ...

- /dev/cua/fa000, fa001, ...

- /dev/se_hdlc

- /dev/se_hdlc0, /dev/se_hdlc1, ...

However, devices that are not used as the console path may be used, but only for the FJVTS and SunVTS. The usable default devices for FJVTS and SunVTS are /dev/term/fa003, fa004, ... and /dev/se_hdlc3, se_hdlc4, ...

1.1.3.2 PRIMEPOWER900/1500/2500

z The device name of the serial port will be as follows:

- /dev/term/fa000, fa001, ...

- /dev/cua/fa000, fa001, ...

- /dev/se_hdlc0, se_hdlc1, ...

Because the number of this device name is allocated from the instance number of driver, this number does not necessarily correspond to the slot number of the system board.

z Do not change the setting of port monitor, etc. to the serial port for the console. Because the physical

device of the serial port used for the console is the physical device path which are linked from logical device under /dev/fjse directory, the logical devices under /dev/term and /dev/cua, and /dev/se_hdlcX files, which link to above-mentioned physical device path, are devices used for the console.

z Other than the serial port for consoles, five serial ports can be used by the user. However, keep in

mind that it is necessary to stop beforehand the application that is using the serial port of the system board or the PCI/disk BOX in order to disconnect the system board by Dynamic Reconfiguration.

z Only the devices that are not used as a console path, can be used for FJVTS and SunVTS.

1.1.4 Gigabit Ethernet port on PRIMEPOWER250/450

PRIMEPOWER250/450 has a Gigabit Ethernet port as standard equipment. For how to use the Gigabit Ethernet port, refer to "Chapter 4 Secondary LAN port on PRIMEPOWER250/450."

1.1.5 Fibre Channel Cards (PW008FC3, PW008FC2 or GP7B8FC1)

Install the following versions of drivers: FUJITSU PCI Fibre Channel 3.0 or later. To install the driver, use the installer in the driver CD-ROM that is provided with the Fibre Channel Card. If you don't have the driver CD-ROM mentioned above, download it from the following page. http://www.fujitsu.com/support/computing/server/unix/driver/

Install the driver again after an update of Solaris 10. For more detailed information, refer to "FUJITSU PCI Fibre Channel 3.0 Installation Guide" that is provided with the driver CD-ROM or the page described above.

1.1.6 Time for booting Solaris

When booting Solaris 10 10/08 or later from Solaris CD/DVD or from the network via network instances such as hme/qfe, it may take more time (approx. 20 minutes) than previous releases.

Example

{0} ok boot net Boot device: /pci@80,4000/network@1,1 File and args: * This interval may be longer than previous releases. SunOS Release 5.10 Version Generic_xxxxxx-xx 64-bit

....

1.1.7 Error messages displayed after booting from Solaris DVD

If Enhanced Support Facility has been already installed on the system, the following error messages (max. 32 lines) may be displayed on the console at the first time of the boot from the system disk after the boot from the Solaris CD/DVD which is Solaris 10 10/08 or later, but the error messages can be ignored safely.

Sep 11 09:50:00 xxxx FJSVmadm[1505]: pw450:FJSVmadm:A:-:OBP:Detected hardware error occurred at Jul 16 08:36:15 JST

Also, the following messages are stored many times in XSCF log, too. The error messages can be ignored safely.

SCF> show-error-logs <Return> ***** No.01/32 Date = 2008/09/16 09:47:00 SysDamage = ALARM(STOP) FaultDetect = OBP FaultCode = 260000FF DetailInfo = [BOOTB]Boot Block error ReplaceParts= -- Syslog msg = Detected hardware error 30C97830 260000FF 08071523 3615FFFF 5B424F4F 54425D42 6F6F7420 426C6F63 6B206572 726F7200 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000

1.2 Solaris OS - Notes and Bug Information

1.2.1 The order of instance numbers of optional cards

If an additional option card is installed, the instance number on the card might be assigned out of order. Additional installation by Dynamic Reconfiguration or PCI Hot-plug is also applicable but replacement by Dynamic Reconfiguration or PCI Hot plug is not applicable. If you need to assign the instance numbers orderly, follow these steps below.

1. Set the following in /etc/system.

set mtc_off=1

2. Reboot the system.

3. Install the optional card.

After the above setting, it may take longer time to reboot the sy stem. If that affects the system, delete the line and reboot the system.

1.2.2 Notes on Solaris OS operation

CD-ROM/DVD-ROM in UNIX file system (UFS) format

Do not use any CD-ROM/DVD-ROM in UNIX file system (UFS) format that is not produced for the Solaris OS. Even if the file system in such a CD-ROM / DVD-ROM is in UFS format, it's file construction may differ from that of a Solaris system. If such a CD-ROM / DVD-ROM is used, serious problems, including a system crash may occur.

Enter the OpenBoot environment

The following operations on a running system will enforce the system to move to Open Boot mode, which might damage data.

z Connecting / Disconnecting the keyboard cable to / from the system. z Sending a Break signal from the console terminal connected to the serial port. z Turning on/off the power to the unit connected to the serial port of the system.

(This power on/off is treated as a Break signal.)

To prevent a system from entering the Open Boot mode, do the following:

PRIMEPOWER 200/400/600

z Set the MODE switch on the operation panel of the system to "SECURE" mode. z Set OBP command (PROM command) to disable a Break signal. For more detailed information, refer

PRIMEPOWER 250/450/650/850/800/900/1000/1500/2000/2500

z Set the MODE switch on the operation panel of the system to "LOCK" mode. z Set OBP command (PROM command) to disable a Break signal. For more detailed information, refer

PRIMEPOWER1

z Change the default keyboard abort sequence effect with kbd commnd.

z Change the /etc/default/kbd setting

z Set OBP command (PROM command) to disable a Break signal. For more detailed information, refer

Single-user mode

If you enter the system in single-user mode with the following commands, the run-level of the init process displayed by the who -r command may be displayed incorrectly. In this case, the commands pkgadd, patchadd, etc. may terminate.

/sbin/init s /sbin/init S /usr/sbin/shutdown [-y] [-gN] -is (N: numeral) /usr/sbin/shutdown [-y] [-gN] -iS (N: numeral)

To avoid this problem follow the steps below.

1. Enter the OpenBoot environment.

2. When the ok prompt is displayed, boot the system with the following command.

to "PRIMEPOWER USER'S MANUAL."

# /usr/bin/kbd -a disable <Return>

1. Edit the /etc/default/kbd as follows:

KEYBOARD_ABORT=disable

2. Set keyboard defaults from the /etc/default/kbd file.

# kbd –i <Return>

to "PRIMEPOWER USER'S MANUAL."

# /usr/sbin/shutdown -y -g0 -i0 <Return>

ok boot -s <Return>

Transport protocols for NFS version 2/3

Although NFS version 2/3 can use either TCP or UDP as the transport protocol, it is recommended to use TCP. If UDP is used on a poor quality network(in which packet loss occurs or transfer takes too long time etc.), overall performance, stability and / or security may be degraded and further problems may occur. Special NFS client settings may be necessary to use TCP for NFS. For more detailed information, refer to the NFS client manual. From Solaris 2.6 or later, NFS clients can be made to use the TCP protocol, by specifying "proto=tcp" as the mount option. If the protocol to be used is not specified, mounting NFS using TCP is first attempted, If that fails, mounting NFS using UDP is attempted.

How to eject a diskette

When you want to eject a diskette, follow the instructions described below. If not followed, data may be damaged. For more detailed information, refer to "Managing Removable Media" in "System Administration Guide."

4. Make sure the diskette is not being used.

5. Run the following command.

# eject floppy0 <Return>

6. Make sure the Access LED has turned off.

7. Press the Eject button on the diskette drive unit, then eject the diskette.

WARNING messages of se driver

When a serial port receives a lot of data, such as when a large amount of text is pasted on a console screen connected to a serial port, the console message "seN: Buffer overrun" (N means an instance number of se driver) will be displayed and the data will be lost. This is because the user process cannot read data fast enough. The size of data pasted on a console screen should be 1024 bytes or less at a time. Speed of reception depends on each user process.

1.2.3 Notes on PCI cards

How to install PCI cards

To install a new PCI card, follow the steps described below. Also, when you remove the PCI card or change the slot, do the following steps.

Chapter 2 Backup and Restore of System Disk

(PRIMEPOWER1/200/250/400/450/600/65 0/850)

This chapter explains the procedures to backup/restore the disk (hereafter called, the system disk) containing the Solaris OS software.

2.1 Types of Backup Procedures

Backup of the system disk requires that the disk and slices to be backed up not be in use. The system disk contains file systems (such as the root (/) file system) that cannot be unmounted. In backing up the sy stem disk, special procedures are required. The following are some of the typical ways to back up the Solaris OS disk. Understanding them will help you choose the appropriate method to back up your system disk properly. For more detailed information about the procedure mentioned in a., see each subsection from "2.2 Backup and Restore of File System Unit." For more detailed information about the procedure mentioned in d., see each subsection from "2.3 Backup and Restore of Disk Unit."

a. To back up a file system unit, use the ufsdump(1M) command after booting in single-user mode.

If you are restoring, use the ufsrestore(1M) command after booting from the Solaris OS CD/DVD to restore the file system unit.

- The file system that will be backed up is only the ufs file system.

- Disk partition information such as the size of each file system will not be backed up. You must

record this information separately.

- The ufsdump(1M) command backs up a file system divided into file units so it is possible to

restore to a disk having a different file system size. If only a limited amount of space has been used in the file system, this may back up into a space smaller than the size of the file system. When backing up using the ufsdump(1M) command, it is possible to only restore selected files.

b. To back up a file system unit, use the ufsdump(1M) command after booting from the Solaris OS

CD/DVD. If you are restoring, use the ufsrestore(1M) command after booting from the Solaris OS CD/DVD to restore the file system unit.

- The file system that will be backed up is only the ufs file system.

- Disk partition information such as the size of each file system will not be backed up. Therefore,

you must record this information separately.

- The ufsdump(1M) command backs up the file system divided into file units, so it is possible to

c. To back up a slice unit, use the dd(1M) command after booting from the Solaris OS CD/DVD.
