ILOM Overview
Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) is a low-level system management tool used
to monitor and manage system components, diagnose problems, and manage the
service processor. The service processor card acts independently of the host system,
and is available when the main system power is shut down.
By default, the service processor is the gateway to the system, through its two ports:
network management (NET MGT) and serial management (SER MGT). After initial
installation, typically you connect an Ethernet cable from the network management
port to your management network. This setup enables remote access to ILOM, which
you can manage from either the command-line interface or the web interface.
For more information about ILOM, see the Integrated Lights Out Management
Supplement for the SPARC Enterprise T5440 Server and the Integrated Lights Out
Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Concepts Guide.
If you are familiar with the ALOM CMT, see the “ILOM and ALOM CMT Command
Comparison” on page 45 section to see how ILOM commands map to common
ALOM commands.

System Console Output Options
On your sever, the system console comes preconfigured to allow input and output
only by means of the ILOM service processor. In the default configuration, ILOM
alerts and system console output are interspersed in the same window.
You can separate the service processor system console output and the ILOM output
by opening an ILOM session in one window, then opening the system console
session in a second window. Or, you can redirect the system console to the graphics
frame buffer. For more information, see “Access the System Console Through a Local
Graphics Monitor” on page 6.
Basic Administrative Tasks5
▼ Access the System Console Through a Local
Graphics Monitor
After initial system installation, you can install a local graphics monitor and
configure it to access the system console. You cannot use a local graphics monitor to
perform initial system installation, nor can you use a local graphics monitor to view
power-on self-test (POST) messages.
To install a local graphics monitor, you must have the following items:
■ Supported PCI-based graphics accelerator card and software driver
■ Monitor with appropriate resolution to support the frame buffer
■ Supported USB keyboard
■ Supported USB mouse
1. Install the graphics card into the appropriate PCI slot.
Installation must be performed by a qualified service provider. For more
information, see your server’s Service Manual.
2. Attach the monitor’s video cable to the graphics card’s video port.
3. Connect the monitor’s power cord to an AC outlet.
4. Connect the USB keyboard cable to one USB port. Connect the USB mouse
cable to another USB port on the server.
5. Get to the ok prompt.
See “Display the ok Prompt” on page 4.
6. Set OpenBoot input output configuration variables appropriately.
From the existing system console, type:
ok setenv input-device keyboard
ok setenv output-device screen
7. To cause the changes to take effect, type:
ok reset-all

Hardware RAID Support
On the SPARC Enterprise T5440 server, the SAS controller supports mirroring and
striping using the Solaris OS raidctl utility.
The onboard disk controller of the server provides supports up to two hardware
RAID volumes. The controller supports either two-disk RAID 1 (integrated mirror, or
IM) volumes, or up to two-disk RAID 0 (integrated strip, or IS) volumes.
RAID volumes created using the hardware controller must be configured and labeled
using format(1M)prior to use with the Solaris OS. See “Configure and Label a
Hardware RAID Volume for Use in the Solaris Operating System” on page 18.

▼ Create a Hardware Mirrored Volume
1. Verify which hard drive corresponds with which logical device name and
physical device name, using the raidctl command.
# raidctl
No RAID volumes found.
See “Disk Slot Numbers” on page 20to locate the correct disk number.
2. Type the following command:
# raidctl -c primary secondary
A message appears asking you to confirm the operation. For example:
# raidctl -c c0t0d0 c0t1d0
Creating RAID volume c0t0d0 will destroy all data on member disks,
proceed
(yes/no)?
14SPARC Enterprise T5440 Server Administration Guide • July 2009
3. Type yes to confirm creating the RAID volume.
# raidctl -c c0t0d0 c0t1d0
Creating RAID volume c0t0d0 will destroy all data on member disks,
proceed
(yes/no)? yes
Volume ‘c0t0d0” created
When you create a RAID mirror, the secondary drive (in this case, c0t1d0)
disappears from the Solaris device tree.
If a mirrored disk fails, see “Removing Hardware RAID Volumes” on page 21.

■ “Configure and Label a Hardware RAID Volume for Use in the Solaris Operating
System” on page 18
■ “Hardware RAID Support” on page 13
▼ Create a Hardware Mirrored Volume of the
Default Boot Device
Due to the volume initialization that occurs on the disk controller when a new
volume is created, the volume must be configured and labeled using the
format(1M)utility prior to use with the Solaris OS. See “Configure and Label a
Hardware RAID Volume for Use in the Solaris Operating System” on page 18.
Because of this limitation, raidctl(1M) blocks the creation of a hardware RAID
volume if any of the member disks currently have a file system mounted.
This section describes the procedure required to create a hardware RAID volume
containing the default boot device. Since the boot device always has a mounted file
system when booted, an alternate boot medium must be employed, and the volume
Manage Disk Volumes15
created in that environment. One alternate medium is a network installation image in
single-user mode (refer to the Solaris 10 Installation Guide for more information about
configuring and using network-based installations).
1. Determine which disk is the default boot device.
From the OpenBoot ok prompt, type the printenv command, and if necessary,
the devalias command, to identify the default boot device. For example:
ok printenv boot-device
boot-device =disk
ok devalias disk
disk/pci@0/pci@0/pci@2/scsi@0/disk@0,0
2. Type the boot net -scommand.
ok boot net -s
3. Once the system boots, use the raidctl(1M) utility to create a hardware
mirrored volume, using the default boot device as the primary disk.
See “Create a Hardware Mirrored Volume” on page 14.
# raidctl -c -r 1 c0t0d0 c0t1d0
Creating RAID volume c0t0d0 will destroy all data on member disks,
proceed
(yes/no) ? yes
Volume c0t0d0 created
#
4. Install the volume with the Solaris OS using any supported method.
The hardware RAID volume c0t0d0 appears as a disk to the Solaris installation
program.
Note – The logical device names might appear differently on your system,
depending on the number and type of add-on disk controllers installed.
5. To configure the volume for use with Solaris, see “Configure and Label a
Hardware RAID Volume for Use in the Solaris Operating System” on page 18.

▼ Create a Hardware Striped Volume
1. Identify the hard drives to be used in the RAID volume.
To verify which hard drive corresponds with which logical device name and
physical device name, see “Disk Slot Numbers” on page 20.
Note – The logical device names might appear differently on your system,
depending on the number and type of add-on disk controllers installed.
2. To create the striped RAID volume, type:
# raidctl -c -r disk1disk2
The creation of the RAID volume is interactive by default. For example:
# raidctl -c -r 0 c0t1d0 c0t2d0 c0t3d0
Creating RAID volume c0t1d0 will destroy all data on member disks,
proceed
(yes/no) ? yes
Volume ‘c0t1d0’ created
#
3. To check the status of a RAID striped volume, type:
The example shows that the RAID striped volume is online and functioning.
Caution – Under RAID 0 (disk striping) there is no replication of data across drives.
The data is written to the RAID volume across all member disks in a round-robin
fashion. If any one disk is lost, all data on the volume is lost. For this reason, RAID 0
cannot be used to ensure data integrity or availability, but can be used to increase
write performance in some scenarios.
For more information, see the raidctl(1M)manpage.

▼ Configure and Label a Hardware RAID Volume
for Use in the Solaris Operating System
After creating a RAID volume using raidctl, use format(1)to configure and label
the volume before attempting to use it in a Solaris operating system.
1. Start the format utility:
# format
The format utility might generate messages about corruption of the current label
on the volume, which you are going to change. You can safely ignore those
messages.
2. Specify the disk that represents the RAID volume that you configured.
In this example, c0t2d0 is the logical name of the volume, and its corresponding
number is 2.

Disk Slot Numbers
To perform a disk hot-plug procedure, you must know the physical or logical device
name for the drive that you want to install or remove. If your system encounters disk
errors, you can find messages about failing disks in the system console or in the
/var/adm/messages files.
These error messages typically refer to a failed hard drive by its physical device
name (for example, /devices/pci@1f,700000/scsi@2/sd@1/0) or by its logical
device name (for example, c0t1d0). In addition, some applications may report a disk
number (Disk0 through Disk3).

See “Disk Slot Numbers” on page 20.
Manage Disk Volumes21
2. To determine the name of the RAID volume, type:
If the RAID volume is an IS volume, the deletion of the RAID volume is
interactive, for example:
# raidctl -d c0t0d0
Deleting volume C0t0d0 will destroy all data it contains, proceed
(yes/no)? yes
Volume ‘c0t0d0’ deleted.
#
The deletion of an IS volume results in the loss of all data that it contains. As an
alternative, you can use the-f option to force the deletion if you are sure you no
longer need the IS volume, or the data that it contains. For example:
# raidctl -f -d c0t0d0
Volume ‘c0t0d0’ deleted.
#
4. To confirm that you have deleted the RAID array, type:
# raidctl
No RAID volumes found.

2. To confirm a failed disk, type:
# raidctl
If the Disk Status is FAILED, then the drive can be removed and a new drive
inserted. Upon insertion, the new disk should be OK and the volume should be
RESYNCING.
This example indicated that RAID volume c0t1d0 is resynchronizing. If you issue
the command again once synchronization is complete and the disk is back online,
the RAID status changes from RESYNCING to OK.

Automatic System Recovery
Automatic system recovery (ASR) functionality enables the system to resume
operation after experiencing certain non-fatal hardware faults or failures. Once you
enable ASR, the system’s diagnostic firmware automatically detects failed hardware
components. The autoconfiguring capability designed into the system firmware
enables the system to unconfigure failed components and restore system operation.
As long as the system is capable of operating without the failed component, the ASR
features enable the system to reboot automatically, without operator intervention.
The system provides ASR for failures in CPU cores or threads, memory modules, and
PCIE slots.

Logical Domain Software Overview
Logical Domains (LDoms) software enables you to allocate the system resources of
your server (such as a boot environment, CPUs, memory, and I/O devices) into
logical domains. By using a logical domains environment, you can increase resource
usage, improve scaling, and gain greater control of security and isolation
LDoms software enables you to create and manage as many as 128 logical domains,
depending on the hardware configuration of the server on which the Logical
Domains Manager has been installed. You can virtualize resources and define
network, storage, and other I/O devices as services that can be shared between
domains.
A logical domain is a discrete logical grouping with its own operating system,
resources, and identity within a single computer system. Applications software can
run in logical domains. Each logical domain can be created, destroyed, reconfigured,
and rebooted independently. There are several roles that logical domains can
perform as shown in the following table.
TABLE: Logical Domain Roles
Domain RoleDescription
Control domainDomain in which the Logical Domains Manager runs, enabling you to
create and manage other logical domains and allocate virtual resources to
other domains. There can be only one control domain per server. The
initial domain created when installing LDoms software is a control
domain and is named primary.
Service domainDomain that provides virtual device services to other domains, such as a
virtual switch, a virtual console concentrator, and a virtual disk server.
I/O domainDomain that has direct ownership of and direct access to physical I/O
devices, such as a network card in a PCI Express controller. Shares the
devices with other domains in the form of virtual devices. You can have a
maximum of two I/O domains, one of which also must be the control
domain.
Guest domainDomain that is managed by the control domain and uses services from the
I/O and service domains.

Logical Domain Configurations
The Logical Domain configurations are stored on the service processor (SP). Using
Logical Domains Manager CLI commands, you can add a configuration, specify a
configuration to be used, and list the configurations on the service processor. You can
also use the ILOM set /HOST/bootmode config=configfile command to specify an
LDoms boot configuration. For further information about /HOST/bootmode, see
your server’s ILOM supplement.
Logical Domains Software Requirements
The following software is required or recommended for LDoms on the SPARC
Enterprise T5440 server:
■ (Required) Solaris 10 11/06 OS – Refer to the Solaris 10 Collection for more
information.
■ (Required) Solaris 10 11/06 OS patches:
■ 124921-02, which contains updates to the Logical Domains 1.0 drivers and
utilities. Logical Domains networking will be broken without this patch.
■ 125043-01, which contains updates to the console (qcn) drivers. This patch
depends on KU 118833-36, so if this is not already updated on your system, you
will need to do so.
For further information about patches, see the product notes for your server.
■ (Required) System firmware version 6.4.x – Refer to your server’s documentation
■ (Recommended) Solaris Security Toolkit 4.2 software – Refer to the Solaris Security
Toolkit 4.2 Administration Guide and Solaris Security Toolkit 4.2 Reference
Manual for more information
Note – During the boot process, domains that use virtual boot devices must wait for
their service domains to come online first. This can prolong the boot process.

Operating the Solaris OS With Logical
Domains
This section describes the changes in behavior in using the Solaris OS that occur once
a configuration created by the Logical Domains Manager is instantiated; that is, after
domaining is enabled.
Note – Any discussion about whether domaining is enabled pertains only to
UltraSPARC T1–based platforms. Otherwise, domaining is always enabled.

OpenBoot Firmware Not Available After Solaris
OS Has Started if Domaining Is Enabled
If domaining is enabled, the OpenBoot firmware is not available after the Solaris OS
has started, because it is removed from memory.
To reach the ok prompt from the Solaris OS, you must halt the domain. You can use
the Solaris OS halt command to halt the domain.
Power-Cycle a Server
Whenever performing any maintenance on a system running LDoms software that
requires power-cycling the server, you must save your current logical domain
configurations to the SC first.
40SPARC Enterprise T5440 Server Administration Guide • July 2009
▼ Save Your Current Logical Domain Configurations to
the SC
● Use the following command.
# ldm add-config config-name
Result of an OpenBoot power-off Command
The OpenBoot power-off command does not power down a system. To power
down a system while in OpenBoot firmware, use your system controller’s or system
processor’s poweroff command. The OpenBoot power-off command displays the
following message:
NOTICE: power-off command is not supported, use appropriate
NOTICE: command on System Controller to turn power off.
Result of Solaris OS Breaks
If domaining is not enabled, the Solaris OS normally goes to the OpenBoot prompt
after a break is issued. The behavior described in this section occurs in two
situations:
1. You press the L1-A key sequence when the input device is set to keyboard.
2. You enter the send break command when the virtual console is at the telnet
prompt.
If domaining is enabled, you receive the following prompt after these types of breaks.
c)ontinue, s)ync, r)eboot, h)alt?
Type the letter that represents what you want the system to do after these types of
breaks.
Results From Halting or Rebooting the Control
Domain
The following table shows the expected behavior of halting or rebooting the control
(primary) domain.
Use Logical Domains Software41
Note – The question in TABLE: Expected Behavior of Halting or Rebooting the
Control (primary) Domain on page 42 regarding whether domaining is enabled
pertains only to the UltraSPARC T1 processors. Otherwise, domaining is always
enabled.

ALOM-to-ILOM Command
Reference
ILOM and ALOM CMT Command
Comparison
The following table provides a command-by-command comparison between the
command sets of ALOM CMT and the default ILOM CLI command set. Only the
supported ALOM CMT command options are listed in the tables. Where there are
ALOM CMT command-line arguments that have no corresponding ILOM properties,
those ALOM CMT arguments have been omitted. The command set of the ALOM
compatibility shell provides a close approximation of the equivalent commands and
arguments (where supported) in ALOM CMT.
45
Note – By default, when displaying information ALOM CMT commands limit their
output to a terse format, offering more verbose output if a –v flag is supplied with
the command. ILOM’s show commands do not have a terse output format. They
always provide verbose output.
