2.1. Partition Function

The base module of this system has the partition function which enables the system to operate
as if multiple units are present on one unit.

The system is capable of partitioning in units of the cell or I/O module within the same base
module. For example, in a system consisting of four cells and three I/O modules, partitioning
shown in Figure 2-2 is possible.

Note that each partition should contain at least one cell card and one I/O module (including the core
module).

The partition structure in the base module can be changed with the “hc” command of the SP
command. (For details of the SP command, see 2.4.6 SP Command Reference.)

2.2. Name and Function of Components

2.2.1. Main Cabinet (Primary Cabinet)

The main cabinet contains the cells, crossbar interconnects, iSP cards, CLK cards, I/O
enclosures, I/O modules, power bays, and DPSs. For the mounting location of these
components, see Figure 1-2 in Section 1.1.

2.2.2. Expansion Cabinet (Additional Cabinet)

The expansion cabinet contains the I/O enclosures, I/O modules, power bays, and DPSs. For
the mounting location of these components, see Figure 1-3 in Section 1.1. Some expansion
cabinets do not contain the power bay. Peripheral units are installed in such cabinets.

Mount the expansion cabinet containing the power bay at the left side of the main cabinet
viewed from the front. The expansion cabinet which does not contain the power bay can be
installed in either the left or right side of the main cabinet.

2.2.3. Cell

A cell consists of up to four processors, a CPU node controller, a memory controller, and main
memory. The minimum 2GB to maximum 128GB can be installed for the main memory by
combining the MEM cards. At least one cell is required in the main cabinet. A maximum of eight
cells can be installed.

2.2.4. Crossbar Interconnect

The crossbar interconnect is connected to other crossbar interconnect for data transmission
between cells. It can connect to one to four I/O modules for data transmission between the cell
and I/O modules. A maximum of four crossbar interconnects can be installed in the main
cabinet.

2.2.5. CLK Card

The CLK card supplies the clock to the system. A system having high reliability can be
constructed by duplicating the CLK card.

2.2.6. I/O Enclosure

The I/O enclosure contains two PCI bays each mounting one I/O module. Up to two I/O
enclosures can be installed in the main and expansion cabinets, respectively.

Figure 2-3 shows the external view of the I/O enclosure, and Figure 2-4 the look of the I/O

2.2.7. I/O Module

The I/O module is connected to the crossbar interconnect via two 2.4Gbps interface cables. It
has eight PCI slots compatible with 133MHz PCI-X bus, allowing up to eight PCI cards to be
mounted. To support standard option I/O interface, one base IO card can be mounted.

The PCI card can be inserted or taken out in online mode (hereafter called the “hot swap”) with
some exceptions. Consequently, the base module need not be shut down or rebooted each time
the PCI card is added or replaced. High availability is achieved with this implementation (note
that the OS that supports this implementation is required).

One core module or HDD module is mounted on the I/O module. At least one core module is
required for each partition.

A DVD-ROM unit is installed in the I/O module as standard equipment. In addition, a DAT unit
and up to four 73GB/146GB/300GB magnetic disk units can be installed as optional units.

Base Module

2.4.1.3. Console Status and Login Authentication

To gain access to console operation, you must first login to the iSP.
When you login to the iSP, the Main Menu opens. The Main Menu has three options: i.e. Virtual

SOP, OS Console, and SP Command Console.

• Virtual SOP provides periodical updates to system operation status for each partition.

• OS Console redirects serial I/Os as viewed from the OS (including BIOS).

• SP Command Console lets you monitor iSP messages for system or maintenance operations

and enter commands into the iSP. Only the commands required for system operation can be
executed on the SP Command Console.

Factory default login account and password

Type Default

Login account spfw
Login password nec

The numbers of consoles that can be attached to the system at a time are: Up to one OS
Console for each partition; up to nine Virtual SOPs and up to one SP Command Console
throughout the entire system.

OS Console and SP Command Console include two types: i.e. one that allows console input
(with operational authority) and the other that only allows message displays (with no operational
authority). The OS Console that is first attached to the specified partition is given operational
authority. Similarly, the SP Command Console that is first attached to the system is given
operational authority. Once a console is attached with no operational authority given to it, it
cannot acquire operational authority until the existing console with operational authority is
disconnected or its operational authority is removed in the Main Menu.

If key entry is attempted on a console without operational authority, it will output the message,
“This console is mirror console.”

2.4.1.4. Login and Main Menu

Immediately after a console is attached to the iSP, login prompts appear on the console, waiting
for user login. When you enter your login account name and password, the Main Menu opens.

Login account and password are both case-sensitive. Alphabetic letters used in the Main Menu
are not case-sensitive, however (e.g. “e” and “E” are interpreted as the same character).

2.4.5.1. SP Command Console Buffer

The output from SP Command Console may contain some critical information such as causes of
system status changes. Also when the iSP is running in LAN Console mode, it is not possible to
monitor the console output until LAN Console connection is established after the iSP boots up.
For these reasons, the iSP is provided with a buffering capability that buffers a certain amount
of messages that are output before SP Command Console connection is established.

The buffer has a size of approx. 1000 lines, capable to save the latest 1000 lines of output
messages.

The buffer contents can be listed with the “ML command.”

following error detection. If the system halts at the EFI Shell screen, the OS
cannot boot. Be sure to use the UP command to boot the OS. When you use the

2.4.6. SP Command Reference

This section provides command reference describing the details of SP commands.
Command availability on the master iSP, backup iSP, and undetermined iSP is indicated on the

first page of each command.

(Legend)

m b u
X

m: Command validity on the master iSP. X denotes “valid.”
b: Command validity on the backup iSP. X denotes “valid.”
u: Command validity on the undefined iSP. X denotes “valid.”

The example above indicates that the commands are valid only if the iSP is assigned as the
master.

The SP commands and subcommands are not case-sensitive. For this reason, case-sensitive
data such as accounts and passwords is clearly indicated.

If the backup iSP card is configured (duplicated iSP configuration), the iSP command can also
be operated on the backup iSP.

[Note]

* When the following list (a list of codes indicating the system configuration) is included in the

command description, this system corresponds to 32Way:

• 8Way

• 32Way

• ISPF

2.4.6.2. DN (Shut down System Power)

m b u
X

* The command is executable to the active partition (after automatic system boot/UP

command execution).

Function:

This command is used to shut down the system DC power.
It shuts down the system DC power only if the software is not running (not in S0 state).
If the system software (OS or BIOS) is running (S0 state), this command only reports a Power

Button interrupt to the software. The interrupt service depends on the software (the software
may ignore the interrupt or perform a shut-down).

The software may not be able to service the power button interrupt due to stall or other cause
even if the iSP recognizes that the software is running. In this case use the DF command to
force a system power shut-down.

(Screen Example)

iSPyz:---> dn
System power will be turned off if the software(OS) is NOT running.
Only power button interrupt will be generated if the software(OS) is running.
If you want to turned off the system power in any system state, use DF command.

m b u
X

* The command is executable to the active partition (after automatic system boot/UP

command execution).

Function:

This command causes a Dump interrupt to the system after a system dump is taken.
Whether a system dump is actually taken or not, or a system reset is subsequently activated or

not, depends on the system software (OS or BIOS). This command only causes a Dump
interrupt.

Nothing will happen, of course, if the software is not running.

(Screen Example)
