How to Install Your Server Module

Perform all steps and fulll all requirements in “Installation Prerequisites” on page 22.BeforeYou Begin

Page 24

Installation Prerequisites

Verify that the Sun Blade 6000 modular system chassis is powered-on and operating normally (without faults).

When the chassis is powered-on, the fans are operating and the chassis OK/Power LED illuminates a steady-on green light. The OK/Power LEDs are located on both the front and back of the chassis. If the chassis is not powered on, or in a fault state, refer to your chassis documentation for information on how to remedy the issue.

Locate a free blade slot in the chassis and remove slot ller panel.

Pinch together the ends of the ejector arm handle to unlock it, rotate the lever out to the open position, and eject the ller panel.

Keep the ller panel for later use.

Caution – If you are not installing a server module into a slot, do not remove the slot ller panel.

The slot ller panel is required to meet FCC standards for electromagnetic interference (EMI). Do not operate the chassis with empty slots for more than 60 seconds. Always insert a ller panel into an empty slot to reduce the possibility of chassis shutdown.

Open both of the server module ejectorlevers and position the servermodule vertically so that the ejectors are on the right.

Install the server as follows:

a. Push the server module into the slot until the server module stops and is ush with the

chassis [see 1].

b. Lock the server module into the chassis.Rotate the top ejector down while rotating the

bottom ejector up until they both latch into place [see 2].

The server module is now locked in the chassis.

Verify that the server module's LEDs illuminate properly.

After installing a server module into a powered-on chassis, each server module node SP automatically boots using standby power from the chassis power supplies. At this point, the chassis OK/Power LED should be steady-on green. The server module front panel indicators illuminate as follows:

■

After you plug in the server module, all four server module LEDs (on each node) blink three times. This indicates that the blade has been powered on and the SP boot process has begun.

■

The green OK/Power LEDs on each node blinks rapidly. This indicates that the node SP is booting (0.125 seconds on, 0.125 seconds o).

■

After each node SP completes its boot cycle, the green OK/Power LEDs on each node blinks briey once every 3 seconds indicating that the node is in standby power mode.

Troubleshooting Server Power States

Each time a server module powers on in a Sun Blade 6000 modular system, it queries the CMM to ensure that there is enough power available from the power supply units (PSUs) to power on the server. If there is not enough power to power on the server module, the CMM denies the server module from receiving power (both standby and main). If this situation occurs, the OK/Power LED on the front panel of the server module will remain o. To troubleshoot this power issue, follow these guidelines:

■

Review the ILOM event log messages to determine whether the server module has permission to power on. An event message is recorded in the log any time there is inadequate amount of power available from the chassis PSUs to power on a server module.

Sun Blade X6275 M2 ServerModule Installation Guide • March 2012, Rev A, 701077426

Page 27

TroubleshootingServer PowerStates

For more information about the ILOM event log or monitoring power consumption, refer to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 documentation collection.

■

Ensure that the system chassis has the proper amount of power supplies installed to support powering on all the chassis components that are currently installed.

Refer to the system chassis documentation for information about the number of power supplies required to power on chassis components.

■

To avoid power loss, use the default CMM power management settings in ILOM for power supplies.

For more information about power management, refer to the

“Managing Power Usage and

Monitoring Power Consumption” in Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM ) 3.0

Supplement for the Sun Blade X6275 M2 Server Module

Note – When power-on permissions become available, the OK/Power LED on the front

panel of the server module will illuminate a standby blink.

CMM and Node ILOM Overview

Your server supports Oracle's Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) version 3.0 or later. ILOM allows you to manage both compute nodes of the Sun Blade X6275 M2 server module. This can be done using either the chassis CMM ILOM, or the server module node's ILOM service processor.

The following topics describe CMM and node ILOM:

About CMM ILOM

The Sun Blade 6000 modular system chassis has its own service processor, called a Chassis Monitoring Module (CMM). CMM ILOM provides an Ethernet connection through the chassis to the service processor in each node of the server module.

The minimum CMM ILOM rmware version must be 3.0.10.15 (available with Sun Blade 6000 modular system software release 3.2) to support the Sun Blade X6275 M2 server module.

CMM ILOM software allows you to monitor and manage all of the chassis components, including installed server and storage blades.

■

“How to Congure a Static IP Address” on page 42

▼

How to Congure a DHCP IP Address

Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol (DHCP) network conguration is the factory-default for each node's ILOM service processor. Follow these instructions only if the default conguration has been changed.

Open a terminal window.

For example, enter the command:

$ ssh username@CMMIPaddress

where username is a user account with administrator privileges and the CMMIPaddress is the IP address of the CMM ILOM.

Page 42

Conguring an ILOM IP Address

Tip – The default ILOM administrator account user name is root and the password is changeme.

If this default administrator account has been changed, contact your system administrator for an ILOM user account with administrator privileges.

Check to see if DHCP is already congured for the server module node SP by entering the

command:

show /CH/BL0/NODE0/SP/network

where BL0/NODE0 represents the chassis blade slot 0, server module node 0. If DHCP is already congured, you see ipdiscovery = dhcp and pendingipdiscovery = dhcp.

To congure the SP to use DHCP, enter the followingcommands:

-> cd /CH/BL0/NODE0/SP/network

-> set pendingipdiscovery=dhcp

How to Congure a Static IP Address

If you plan to assign a static IP address to a server node's ILOM service processor, perform the following procedure.

Open a terminal window.

For example:

$ ssh username@CMMIPaddress

where username is a user account with administrator privileges and the CMMIPaddress is the IP address of the CMM ILOM.

Sun Blade X6275 M2 ServerModule Installation Guide • March 2012, Rev A, 701077442

Page 43

Accessing the Host Console Through ILOM

Tip – The default ILOM administrator account user name is root and the password is changeme.

If this default administrator account has been changed, contact your system administrator for an ILOM user account with administrator privileges.

Enter the network conguration settings for your static IP address.

Substitute the static IP address and the network conguration information to be changed. To see the current congurations, use the show command in /CH/BL4/NODE0/SP/network.

For example, you might enter the following commands:

-> cd /CH/BL4/NODE0/SP/network

-> set pendingipaddress=129.144.82.26

-> set pendingipnetmask=255.255.255.0

-> set pendingipgateway=129.144.82.254

-> set pendingipdiscovery=static

-> set commitpending=true

Repeat Step 3 to congure the server's other node.

For example, if you have already congured NODE0, you would then enter the commands to congure NODE1.

To log out of CMM ILOM, enter the command:

-> exit

Installing a Supported OS

Finish the installation of your server module by installing a supported operating system (OS) on a boot device for each node.

Note – The installed OS can be dierent for each node.

Choose one of the following options for installing an OS:

■

Install the OS on the server module node's optional internal ash module (FMod).

Refer to the appropriate Sun Blade X6275 M2 server module OS installation guide for more information on using this option.

■

Install the OS on external storage connected to PCIe EM host bus adapter.

Refer to the PCIe EM host bus adapter documentation to create an OS boot disk.

Note – Additional drivers for your server module might still need to be installed afterwards

to ensure full support with your server hardware. Refer to the appropriate Sun Blade X6275 M2 server module OS installation guide for more information on the minimum driver requirements.

■

Congure network boot to load an OS to the server module node from an image on a server congured for PXE (Preboot Execution Environment).

Refer to the appropriate server module OS installation guide for more information on using this option.

Note – In addition, each server module node supports the installation of an internally mounted

USB ash drive. Commercially available ash drives (also known as a 'thumb drive') can be used to provide additional storage as long as they meet the required physical dimensions. See

Flash Drive” on page 50

“Specifying a Boot Device” on page 51

Flash Modules

The Sun Blade X6275 M2 server module supports one Sun Flash Module (FMod) per node. The FMod is seen by the node as a local SATA disk drive and is controlled by the built-in ICH10 disk controller. It can be used to install and boot a supported operating system.

For information about how to install ash modules, refer to the Sun Blade X6275 M2 Server Module Service Manual.

Caution – Do not remove or insert a ash module until the green FMod power LED on the

motherboard goes out. This LED (next to the FMod slots) indicates that there is power to the FMod from the energy storage module (ESM). Damage to the ash module can occur if the FMod is removed while the green FMod power LED is lit. It can take 20 seconds or more for the ESM to discharge and the LED to go out.

USB Flash Drive

The Sun Blade X6275 M2 server module has one internal USB port per node on the motherboard at the back of the server module. You must remove the server module from the chassis to access the USB ports.

When a USB ash drive is present, it appears as a local disk device. It is also possible to set it as a boot device for the node.

A USB ash drive with a standard USB 2.0 interface can be obtained from third-party sources but must meet the physical requirements specied in the illustration below.

Caution – The USB ash drive must be no larger than 2.7 mm wide and 32.0 mm long. Physically

larger ash drives will interfere with installing the blade into the chassis.
