SGI systems shipped with Linux include a set of Linux man pages, formatted in the standard UNIX “man page” style. Important system configuration files and commands are documented on man pages. These are found online on the internal system disk (or DVD) and are displayed using the man command. References in the documentation to these pages include the name of the command and the section number in which the command is found. For example, to display a man page, type the request on a command line:
man commandx
For additional information about displaying man pages using the man command, see man(1). In addition, the apropos command locates man pages based on keywords. For example, to display a list of man pages that describe disks, type the following on a command line:
apropos disk

Safety Precautions

Warning: Before operating or servicing any part of this product, read the “Safety
Information” on page 91.
Danger: Keep fingers and conductive tools away from high-voltage areas. Failure to
follow these precautions will result in serious injury or death. The high-voltage areas of the system are indicated with high-voltage warning labels.
Caution: !Power off the system only after the system software has been shut down in an orderly
manner. If you power off the system before you halt the operating system, data may be corrupted.
Warning: If a lithium battery is installed in your system as a soldered part, only qualified
SGI service personnel should replace this lithium battery. For a battery of another type, replace it only with the same type or an equivalent type recommended by the battery manufacturer, or an explosion could occur. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Power Connections Overview

Prior to operation, your SGI UV 3000 system should be set up and connected by a professional installer. If you are powering on the system for the first time or want to confirm proper power connections, follow these steps:
1. Check to ensure that the power connector on the cable between the rack’s power distribution units (PDUs) and the wall power-plug receptacles are securely plugged in.
2. Setting the circuit breakers on the PDUs to the “On” position will apply power to the system’s blade enclosures and will start the CMC in each of the enclosures. Note that the CMC in each blade enclosure stays powered on as long as there is power coming into the unit. Turn off the PDU breaker switch on each of the PDUs that supply voltage to the enclosure’s power supplies if you want to remove all power from the unit.
2 007-6402-001
Power Connections Overview
When possible, each power supply in a blade enclosure should be connected to a different PDU within the rack. This will ensure the maximum amperage output of a single PDU is not exceeded if a power supply fails.

3. If you plan to power on a server that includes optional mass storage enclosures, make sure
that the power switch on the rear of each PSU/cooling module (one or two per storage enclosure) is in the
1 (on) position.
4. Make sure that all PDU circuit breaker switches (see the examples in Figure 1-2 on page 6
and Figure 1-3 on page 7) are turned on to provide power to the server when the system is powered on.

Preparing to Power On

To prepare to power on your system, follow these steps:
1. Check to ensure that the power connector on the cable between th
units (PDUs) and the wall power-plug receptacles are securely plugged in.
2. For each individual UV 3000 blade enclosure that you want to power on, make sure that the
power cables are plugged into all the power supplies correctly, see the example in Figure 1-1. Setting the circuit breakers on the PDUs to the “On” position will apply power to

Additional PDU Overview information
Note: SGI PDUs are designed to fit into SGI racks. The use of SGI PDUs in 3rd-party racks may require custom mounting hardware. If SGI PDUs are not used, the installer needs to connect each power supply to a 20-Amp certified circuit breaker with properly rated C13/C14 cordage.
Power Connections Overview
Figure 1-2 on page 6 shows an example of an eight-plug single-phase PDU that can be used in the SGI UV 3000 rack system. This unit is primarily used to support auxiliary equipment in the rack.

System Connections Overview

You can monitor and interact with your SGI UV 3000 server from the following sources:
• Using the optional SGI 1U rackmount console option you can connect directly to the system console node for basic monitoring and administration of the system. See Admin Server Option” in Chapter 2 for more information.
• A PC or workstation on the local area network (LAN) can connect to the RMC’s external Ethernet port and set up remote console sessions.
These console connections enable you to view the status and error messages generated by the chassis management controllers in your SGI UV 3000 system. For example, you can monitor error messages that warn of power or temperature values that are out of tolerance. See the section Console Plus Admin Server Option” in Chapter 2, for additional information. The following subsections describe the options for establishing and using communication connections to work with your SGI UV 3000.

Connecting to the UV System Control Network

“1U Console Plus
“1U
All SGI UV 3000 systems use a rack management controller (RMC) node which communicates with the chassis management controllers (CMCs) which in turn communicate with the blade management controllers (BMCs). These components in concert are generically known as the system control network. The SGI UV 3000 system control network provides control and monitoring functionality for each chassis, blade, power supply, and fan assembly in the system.
The RMC is connected to each of the CMCs in the system via an external Ethernet cable. CMCs are connected to the BMCs via the chassis backplane. Note that the RMC supports a maximum of 24 Ethernet ports for CMC interconnect. The CMCs and their enclosures must all be localized.
Note that the RMC does not contain a BMC or directly physically connect with any blade BMC.
The RMC/CMC network provides the following functionality:
• Powering the entire system on and off.
• Powering individual UV chassis on and off.
• Monitoring the environmental state of the system, including voltage levels.
• Monitors and controls status LEDs on the enclosure.

System Connections Overview
• Supports entry of controller commands to view and/or change system configuration
parameters. See the SGI UV RMC Software User Guide (P/N 007-6361-00x) for a complete list of command line interface (CLI) commands.
• Provides access to the system OS console allow
• Provides the ability to flash system BIOS.

RMC System Control Access

Access to the SGI UV 3000 system controller network is accomplished by the following methods:
• A LAN connection to the RJ-45
• A USB-to-micro-USB serial connection to the
the RMC front panel example.

UV 3000 System Connections

Administrative commands for the SGI UV 3000 system are through the RMC interface/UV command line interface (CLI) or through an IPMI 2.x LAN interface.
The Ethernet connection is the most common method of accessing the system console. The RMC acts as an administrative focal-point for UV 3000 systems.
Administrators/users can perform one of the following options for connectivity:
• An in-rack or portable system console can be directly connected to the RMC micro-USB connect port, (labeled laptop or workstation that is physically located near the system. Note that the USB connection requires use of a terminal emulator on the connected system.
• A LAN connection allows access to the RMC via ssh, or via an IPMI 2.x client. The RMC supports a limited IPMI 2.x interface, basically allowing powering the system on/off from an IPMI client. This LAN connection must be made to the RJ-45 connection can be used with a local or remote IPMI-enabled console device.
Note: The RMC firmware is not fully IPMI 2.x compliant and IPMI 2.x is not a supported interface if the UV3000 system is partitioned.
CNSL- see Figure 1-4 on page 9). This requires connecting from a
WAN port on the RMC. The

Serial Port Connection to the RMC

Use a USB-to-micro-USB cable to administer your system locally from the RMC.
Connect the cable from your administrative laptop or other device directly to the port labeled
CNSL on the RMC, reference the location shown in Figure 1-5 on page 11. Note that the RMC
will not (by default) require a password when you login via the CNSL port.
The console type and how these console types are connected to the SGI UV 3000 systems is determined by what console option is chosen. Establishing a serial console connection to the RMC does require specific functional parameters which are listed in the next subsection.
