CHAPTER

System Overview

This chapter introduces you to the Sun Enterprise 220R server and explains some of its features. The following information is covered in this chapter:

■ “About the Sun Enterprise 220R Server” on page 1

■ “Locating Front Panel Features” on page 4

■ “Locating Back Panel Features” on page 6

■ “About the Status and Control Panel” on page 7

About the Sun Enterprise 220R Server

The Sun Enterprise 220R server is a high-performance, shared memory, symmetricmultiprocessing system. It is designed around Sun’s high-speed Ultra Port Architecture (UPA) cross-bar system interconnect and Sun’s UltraSPARC processors, to deliver outstanding overall system performance.

The system is housed in a standard Electronic Industries Association 310 (EIA 310) specification-compliant rackmountable enclosure. The enclosure measures 7.00 inches high, 17.25 inches wide, and 27.25 inches deep (17.8 cm x 43.8 cm x 69.2 cm). The system has a maximum weight of 65 lb (34 kg). You may rackmount up to nine systems in an empty 72-inch (182.80-cm) EIA-compliant cabinet, such as the Sun™ StorEdge Expansion Cabinet.

Processing power is provided by up to two modular UltraSPARC II CPUs, with up to 4 Mbytes of local high-speed external cache memory. The system UPA’s clock rate synchronizes automatically to the clock rate of the installed CPUs, and the UPA bus operates at a clock rate that is a ratio of the speed of the CPU modules. For more information about CPU modules, see “About CPU Modules” on page 67.

System main memory is provided by up to 16 dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs), each of which is capable of storing 32, 64, or 128 Mbytes of data. Total main memory is expandable up to 2 Gbytes. To enhance memory I/O performance, the system transfers 64 bytes of data into or from memory on each memory transfer. For more information about system memory, see “About Memory” on page 66.

System I/O is handled by two separate Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) buses. These industry-standard buses support all main logic board I/O and up to four PCI interface cards. One PCI bus operates at a 33-MHz clock rate and supports up to three PCI cards, while the other bus can operate at either 33-MHz or 66-MHz and supports one PCI card. All PCI cards plug in to slots provided on the system’s main logic board. For more information about PCI buses, see “About Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Buses” on page 68.

Internal disk storage is provided by up to two 1-inch high, 3.5-inch wide (2.54-cm x 8.89-cm), Ultra-Small Computer System Interface (UltraSCSI) disk drives. Both drives are supported on the same channel with a 40-Mbyte per second wide UltraSCSI interface provided direct to the system’s main logic board. Systems configured with two disk drives can provide software mirroring and full hotpluggable boot drive capability. For more information about disk storage, see “About Internal Disk Drives” on page 74.

External multi-disk storage subsystems and Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks (RAID) storage arrays can be supported by installing single-channel or multichannel PCI host adapter cards along with the appropriate system software. Software drivers supporting UltraSCSI, and other types of devices, are included in the Solaris operating environment. For more information about RAID storage support, see “About Internal Disk Drives” on page 74.

A 5.25-inch by 1.6-inch (13.35-cm x 4.06-cm) CD-ROM drive is standard, or a 1.0-inch (2.54-cm) tape drive is optional, on the Sun Enterprise 220R server and is installed in the upper bay of the removable media assembly (RMA). The CD-ROM drive has multimedia features, which include multi-session capability and fast access for image and video data.

Up to four external tape devices can be attached to the standard 68-pin 40-Mbyte per second UltraSCSI port provided on the system’s back panel. Additional external tape devices can be supported with appropriate PCI host adapter cards.

You can easily connect the Sun Enterprise 220R server to either a 10-Mbps or a 100-Mbps Ethernet by means of an auto-sensing Ethernet interface provided on the system’s main logic board. In addition, the standard Media Independent Interface (MII) port permits easy connection to a variety of external Ethernet transceivers. Ethernet interfaces or connections to other networks, such as

Interface (

FDDI), Asynchronous T ransfer Mode (ATM), or token ring, can be provided by installing the appropriate PCI interface cards. For more information, see “Administration and Network Setup” on page 45.

2 Sun Enterprise 220R Server Owner’s Guide • October 1999

Fiber Distributed Data

The system console device can be a standard ASCII character terminal or a local windowing subsystem. The ASCII terminal connects to one of the system’s two serial ports, while a local windowing subsystem in a graphics console requires installation of a PCI frame buffer card, monitor, keyboard, and mouse. UPA graphics is not supported in the Sun Enterprise 220R server. The server can also be administered from a remote system connected to the server over an Ethernet network.

The Sun Enterprise 220R server provides two serial communications ports through a pair of DB-25 connectors located on the back panel. It also provides one external, 2-Mbyte per second, bidirectional, Centronics-compatible, enhanced parallel port (EPP) for connecting the system to a local printer or other compatible parallel device.

Power is provided by one or two 380-watt power supplies with dual internal fans. System configurations with two power supplies provide both redundancy and full hot-swap capability. For more information about the power supplies, see “About Power Supplies” on page 76.

The Sun Enterprise 220R server has a rackmounting kit for installation into standard 29-inch to 32-inch (73.6-cm to 81.3-cm) deep EIA 310-compliant 19-inch (48.26-cm) wide racks, with at least four rack units (7.0 inches, 17.78 cm) of vertical mounting space available per server, and sufficient load-bearing capacity.

System reliability, availability, and serviceability are enhanced by features that include:

■ Error-correcting code (ECC) on memory and all data paths

■ Parity checking on all address buses

■ Front panel status indicator lights

■ Hot-pluggable internal disk drives with easy front access

■ Support for RAID 0, 1, 0 + 1, and 5 implementations

■ Power system monitoring and fault protection

■ Power supply redundancy

■ Hot-swap power supplies with easy front panel access

■ Four levels of system diagnostics

■ Easy front, top, or back access to all internal replaceable components

For additional details, see “About Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability Features” on page 62.

Chapter 1 System Overview 3

Locating Front Panel Features

The illustration below shows the system control features and status indicators that are accessible from the front panel with the system front doors closed. When the key in the front panel keyswitch is in the locked position, the front doors are also locked preventing access to the disk drives and power supplies. Before you lock the door, make sure that the key is in the unlocked position and that you overlap the front doors as you close them. To lock the door, insert and turn the keyswitch to the locked position; then remove the key. This same key also controls the system cover lock on the top of the system (see page 91). If you lose the key, contact your Sun sales representative about replacing the key.

The system’s Power button is beside the keyswitch and is controlled by the keyswitch settings. For more information about the keyswitch positions, see “Keyswitch Settings” on page 8.

The system’s standard CD-ROM drive front panel and controls are illustrated in the figure below. An optional tape drive is available in place of the CD-ROM. For more information about using the CD-ROM drive, or the optional tape drive (if installed), see Chapter 6 “Using Storage Devices.

Keyswitch Settings

The front panel keyswitch controls the power-on modes of the system. The following table describes the function of each switch setting.

Keyswitch Setting Icon Description

Power-On/Off This setting enables the system’s Power button to

power on, or to power off, the system. If the system hangs, holding the Power button down for five seconds while the keyswitch is in this positon will cause an immediate hardware power off.

Locked This setting disables the system’s Power button, and

also locks the front doors preventing access to the disk drives and to the power supplies. The Locked position is the recommended setting for normal day-to-day operation of the system.

Standby This setting places the system in Standby mode by

turning off power to all internal system components and by placing the power supplies in Standby mode. When the keyswitch is in this position the server’s Power button is disabled.

8 Sun Enterprise 220R Server Owner’s Guide • October 1999

System LED Indicators

The two system LEDs consist of a system health indicator and a fault indicator. The system health indicator lights continuously green to show that the system is functioning normally. The fault indicator lights when a problem is detected in the system. Because it is important to know that a fault exists in the system, the fault indicator remains lit whether the system is in normal operating mode, or is switched to Standby mode using the keyswitch.

When you first power on the system, the LEDs are individually toggled on and off to verify that each one is working correctly. After that, the LEDs operate as described in the following table.

How to Install the Sun Enterprise 220R Server

Before You Begin

The Sun Enterprise 220R server is a general-purpose server, which you can use for many types of applications. Exactly how you set up your machine depends in some measure upon what you want it to do.

This procedure is intended to be as “generic” as possible, so as to cover the needs of most sites. Even so, you will need to make certain decisions to complete the procedure:

■ On which network or networks do you intend your machine to operate?

For background information about network support, see “About Network Interface Options” on page 46.

■ How do you want to use/configure your machine’s internal disks?

For background information about internal disk use, see “About Disk Array Configurations and Concepts” on page 70.

■ What software do you intend to load?

Software included in the server media kit or other software products may impose certain disk space or disk partitioning requirements. Refer to the documentation accompanying the software to determine those requirements.

Once you’ve answered these questions, you’re ready to begin the installation procedure.

What to Do

1. Verify that you’ve received all the parts of your system.

See “About the Parts Shipped to You” on page 12.

Chapter 2 System Setup 13

2. Install any optional drive shipped with your system.

Many of the options ordered with your system may have been pre-installed at the factory. For information about how to install other options, see the Sun Enterprise 220R Server Service Manual or contact your qualified service provider. However, if you ordered a second internal disk drive that was not factory-installed, see the section:

■ “How to Install a Disk Drive” on page 95

Note – To install any additional options, contact your qualified service provider.

3. Install the system into the rack.

The server is shipped with inner glides attached. See “About Server Rackmounting” on page 18 and the Sun Enterprise 220R Server Setup and Rackmounting Guide accompanying your system for installation instructions for the rack. If the system’s slide assembly rails are already mounted in a rack, see “How to Place the System Into the Rack” on page 23.

4. Ensure that the system’s front panel keyswitch is in the Standby position.

See “About the Status and Control Panel” on page 7.

5. Once the system is installed in the rack, connect the AC power cord to the power inlet labelled (1) at the back of the system. Use a strain relief (if necessary), and connect the other end of the cord to a grounded AC power outlet.

To prevent accidental or inadvertent removal of an AC power cord from its inlet use the strain relief. The strain relief is a plastic tie-wrap and pedestal that is inserted into the back panel of the system. Use these reliefs to manage the power cords after you have installed the cords into the AC inlets in the server.

■ To use a strain relief, wrap the loose end of the tie-wrap around the AC power

cord and thread the tie-wrap through the opening in the relief pedestal. Pull the end to tighten the tie-wrap.

■ To release the AC power cord, lift up the tab on the relief pedestal and loosen

the tie-wrap.

14 Sun Enterprise 220R Server Owner’s Guide • October 1999

Note – Each outlet must connect the system to a 15A circuit for North America and

Japan, and to a 10A circuit for Europe. See your local electrical codes.

Note – If your server includes a second power supply, connect the second AC

power cord to the left inlet labeled (2). You may connect the second power supply to the same AC circuit as the first supply. However, for increased system redundancy you should connect each power supply to a separate circuit.

Chapter 2 System Setup 15

6. Set up a console for your server.

You must either attach an ASCII terminal to serial port A, establish a tip connection over a serial line, or else install a graphics card and attach a monitor, mouse, and keyboard. For more information, see “About Communicating With the Server” on page 28.

7. Configure the network interface.

The system’s standard network interface is a switchable 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet interface conforming to the IEEE 802.3u Ethernet standard. The interface configures itself automatically for either 10-Mbps or 100-Mbps operation, depending on network characteristics.

Supported PCI cards allow connection to additional Ethernet networks, or to token ring, FDDI, or other network types.

■ If you’re using the standard Ethernet interface, see “How to Configure the

Standard Ethernet Interface” on page 47.

■ If you’re using a PCI network interface, see the documentation accompanying the

PCI network card.

■ If you’re using an MII transceiver to supply your network interface, see “How to

Attach an MII Ethernet Transceiver” on page 54.

8. Turn on power to your server.

See “How to Power On the System” on page 34. For information about the LED status indicators that appear during power-up, see “About the Status and Control Panel” on page 7.

9. Install and boot the operating system software.

The operating system software is ordered separately from your system hardware. See “How to Install the System Software” on page 37 and “How to Select the Boot Device” on page 40.

10. Decide on your internal disk array configuration.

For information about possible configurations, see “About Disk Array Configurations and Concepts” on page 70. Consult the Solstice DiskSuite User’s Guide for information about implementing your disk configuration.

Chapter 2 System Setup 17

About Server Rackmounting

The server may be mounted in any rack that meets the Electronic Industries Association (EIA) standard specification-310 (EIA 310). The system enclosure measures 7.00 inches high, 17.25 inches wide, and 27.25 inches deep (17.8 cm x 43.8 cm x 69.2 cm) and requires a minimum of four vertical rack units (RUs). The system has a maximum weight of 65 lb (34 kg).

Shipped with your system is the Sun Enterprise 220R Server Setup and Rackmounting Guide that describes the procedure for rackmounting the server. Use the guide to rackmount your server.

Rackmounting guidelines:

■ Install the slide assemblies for the first server in the lowest permissible rack

position.

■ For stability, install the remaining servers from the lowest system upward into the

rack, as shown in the next figure.

■ To mount the server in an EIA standard rack, allow four RUs per system to obtain

the highest density in the rack. Use the supplied Rack Buddy rackmounting template to locate the correct holes for server placement in the rack.

Note – For the latest configuration information about mixing different systems or

peripherals in standard EIA 310-compliant racks, and for information about Sun’s rackmounting cabinets consult the Rackmount Placement Matrix located at the URL http://docs.sun.com. At the site, click on Storage and Peripherals, find Rackmount Placement Matrix among the AnswerBook2 collection titles, and click on the link to display the book.

You need to use the Rack Buddy to help decide at what height in the rack rail you will install the server slide assemblies (and other subsequent server slide assemblies). For example, an empty Sun cabinet might have 36 vertical RUs and could support up to nine servers. To maximize server density in a 72-inch (182.8-cm) rack, install the slide assembly brackets starting for the lowest enclosure at rail hole 3 (in an empty rack), and add subsequent brackets at rail holes 15, 27, 39, 51, 63, 75, 87, and 99.

How to Remove the System From the Rack

With the exception of removing and replacing the main logic board, qualified service providers can perform all other service procedures while the system is extended from the rack and still attached to the rack rails. If qualified service providers want to remove the system from the rack for any other reason, they should follow the instructions in this section.

Caution – Unless the rack is bolted to the floor, you must extend the cabinet’s anti-

tip legs and adjust their stabilizing feet to the floor. Level and secure the cabinet to provide a safe working environment.

Caution – The chassis is heavy. Two people are required to remove the system from

the rack enclosure in the following procedure.

Before You Begin

Complete this task:

■ Identify a helper to assist you in removing the system

Discuss the task and verify that your helper can safely lift and carry 34 lbs (17kg), which is approximately half the weight of a fully-equipped system.

Review the steps in the next section with your helper beforehand and discuss how to coordinate your efforts to ensure your mutual safety.

Caution – When completing a two-person procedure, always communicate your

intentions clearly before, during, and after each step to minimize confusion.

20 Sun Enterprise 220R Server Owner’s Guide • October 1999

What to Do

1. Extend the server from the rack, and then position one person on each side of the system, facing the system glides.

When you are both in position, verify that your helper understands what to do with the system after you release the server and remove it. Also agree on a route to follow, and visually inspect it for potential safety hazards (for example, cables on the floor, other people working in the vicinity, and so on).

2. Locate the flat spring catch shown in the following figure.

Each person should visually locate one of the two flat spring catches that release the system from the rack glide. One catch is attached to each inner glide, as shown in the following figure:

About Communicating With the Server

To install your server software or to diagnose problems, you need some way to enter system commands and view system output. There are three ways to do this.

1. Attach an ASCII character terminal, also called an alphanumeric terminal, to serial port A.

You can attach a simple terminal (or modem line) to serial port A. The terminal can be capable of displaying and entering alphanumeric but not graphical data. For instructions, see “How to Attach an Alphanumeric (ASCII) Terminal” on page 29.

2. Establish a tip connection from another Sun system. For information about establishing a tip connection, see “Setting Up a tip

Connection” on page 121 or the OpenBoot 3.x Command Reference Manual, an online version of which is included with the Solaris System Administrator AnswerBook that ships with Solaris software.

3. Install a local graphics console on your server. The server is shipped without a mouse, keyboard, monitor, or frame buffer for the

display of graphics. To install a local graphics console on a server, you must install a graphics frame buffer card into a PCI slot, and attach a monitor, mouse, and keyboard to the appropriate back panel ports. For detailed instructions, see “How to Configure a Local Graphics Console” on page 31.

Chapter 2 System Setup 39

How to Select the Boot Device

Before You Begin

Before you can select a boot device, you must complete the installation procedure; see:

■ “How to Install the Sun Enterprise 220R Server” on page 13

Specifically, you must perform the following tasks:

■ Set up a system console; see “About Communicating With the Server” on page 28

■ Power on the system; see “How to Power On the System” on page 34

If you want to boot across a network interface, then you must also perform the following tasks:

■ Configure the Ethernet port; see “How to Configure the Standard Ethernet

Interface” on page 47

■ Attach the Ethernet port to a network; see “How to Attach a Twisted-Pair

Ethernet (TPE) Cable” on page 52 or “How to Attach an MII Ethernet Transceiver” on page 54

The device that is used to boot the system is determined by the setting of an OpenBoot firmware configuration parameter called boot-device. The default order of settings of this parameter is disk net. Because of this setting, the firmware first attempts to boot from the system hard drive, and if that fails, then from the main logic board Ethernet interface.

The following procedure assumes that you are familiar with the OpenBoot firmware and that you know how to enter the OpenBoot environment. For more information about the OpenBoot firmware, see the OpenBoot 3.x Command Reference Manual in the Solaris System Administrator AnswerBook collection for your specific Solaris release.

40 Sun Enterprise 220R Server Owner’s Guide • October 1999

What to Do

1. At the ok prompt, type:

ok setenv boot-device device-specifier

where the device-specifier is one of the following:

■ cdrom – Selects the CD-ROM drive

■ disk – Selects the hard disk

■ tape – Selects the SCSI tape drive

■ net – Selects the Ethernet interface on the main logic board

■ full path name – Selects the Ethernet interface specified by the path name

Note – You can also specify the name of the program to be booted as well as the

way the boot program operates. For more information, see the OpenBoot 3.x Command Reference Manual in the Solaris System Administrator AnswerBook collection

for your specific Solaris release.

If you want to select a network interface other than the system board Ethernet interface as the default boot device, you can determine the full path name of each interface, by typing:

ok show-devs

The show-devs command lists all the installed system devices (including any PCI network interface(s)). The output displays the full path name of each PCI device. An example of a PCI path name is shown below:

/pci@1f,4000/ebus@1/SUNW,pll@14,504000

2. To reboot the system from the new boot device, type:

ok reset

CHAPTER

Administration and Network Setup

This chapter focuses on the administrative information and tasks associated with configuring Ethernet interfaces and on booting from a PCI-based Ethernet device installed in the server.

The following network information and associated tasks are covered in this chapter:

■ “About Network Interface Options” on page 46

■ “How to Configure the Standard Ethernet Interface” on page 47

■ “How to Add an Ethernet Interface” on page 49

■ “How to Attach a Twisted-Pair Ethernet (TPE) Cable” on page 52

■ “How to Attach an MII Ethernet Transceiver” on page 54

■ “How to Boot the System Using a PCI-Based Ethernet Interface” on page 59

About Network Interface Options

The system’s main logic board provides an auto-sensing, switchable 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet interface conforming to the IEEE 802.3u Ethernet standard. The interface configures itself automatically for either 10-Mbps or 100-Mbps operation, depending on network characteristics.

Two back panel connectors provide access to the built-in Ethernet interface:

■ The RJ-45 connector for connecting a twisted-pair Ethernet (TPE) cable

■ The Media Independent Interface (MII) connector for connecting an external MII

transceiver

Note – You can use only one of the main logic board Ethernet connectors; you

cannot connect to the TPE and MII connector at the same time.

The Media Independent Interface lets you connect the system to a variety of external Ethernet transceivers, providing compatibility with different Ethernet wiring types. When an external transceiver is connected to the MII, the system automatically activates the MII port and disables the TPE port.

Sun Microsystems offers an MII-to-AUI transceiver as a separate optional order (order number X467A). A number of third-party MII transceivers are also available for connecting to TX, T4, FX, and AUI-type Ethernet networks.

For instructions on configuring the main logic board Ethernet interface, see “How to Configure the Standard Ethernet Interface” on page 47. For information about operating characteristics and configuration parameters for the hme Fast Ethernet device driver, see Platform Notes: The Fast Ethernet Device Driver. This document is available on Solaris on Sun Hardware AnswerBook, which is provided on the Solaris Supplement CD for the Solaris release you are running.

Additional network interfaces are available through PCI cards, providing connection to Ethernet, token ring, fiber distributed data interface (FDDI), and other network types. For more information, see “How to Add an Ethernet Interface” on page 49 and the documentation supplied with the PCI network interface card.

46 Sun Enterprise 220R Server Owner’s Guide • October 1999

How toConfigurethe Standard Ethernet Interface

Before You Begin

You must perform the following tasks:

■ Complete the prerequisite steps in “How to Install the Sun Enterprise 220R

Server” on page 13

■ Determine which of the two Ethernet ports you want to use; see “About Network

Interface Options” on page 46

■ Attach a cable to the Ethernet port; see “How to Attach a Twisted-Pair Ethernet

(TPE) Cable” on page 52 or “How to Attach an MII Ethernet Transceiver” on page 54

Note – You can configure only one Ethernet interface during installation of the

operating system. To configure additional interfaces, see “How to Add an Ethernet Interface” on page 49.

What to Do

1. Assign a host name to the machine.

The host name must be unique within the network. It can be made up of characters and numbers. Do not use a dot in the host name. Do not begin the name with a number or a special character.

2. Determine the IP address for the interface.

Your network administrator must assign an IP address. Each network device or interface must have a unique IP address.

3. Resume the installation of the system.

See “How to Install the Sun Enterprise 220R Server” on page 13. When installing the operating system, you will be prompted to enter the host name and IP address of the machine.

Chapter 3 Administration and Network Setup 47

Note – If you have installed a PCI card as a second Ethernet interface, the operating

system asks you to select a primary network interface and then prompts you for its host name and IP address. You must configure the second interface separately, after the operating system is installed. See “How to Add an Ethernet Interface” on page 49.

Note – This system conforms to the Ethernet 10/100BASE-TX standard, which

states that the Ethernet 10BASE-T link integrity test function should always be enabled on both the host system and the Ethernet hub. If you have problems verifying connection between this system and your hub, verify that the Ethernet hub also has the link test function enabled. See “Network Communications Failure” on page 147 and refer to the manual provided with your hub for more information about the link integrity test function.

What Next

After completing this procedure, the Ethernet harware interface is ready for operation. However, in order for other network devices to communicate with the system, your network administrator must enter the system’s IP address and host name into the namespace on the network name server. For information about setting up a network name service, consult the Solaris System Administrator AnswerBook for your specific Solaris release.

The hme Fast Ethernet device driver for the system’s standard Ethernet interface is automatically installed with the Solaris release. For information about operating characteristics and configuration parameters for the hme driver, see Platform Notes:

The hme Fast Ethernet Device Driver. This document is available on the Solaris on Sun Hardware AnswerBook, which is provided on the Solaris Supplement CD for the Solaris

release you are running. If you want to install and configure an additional network interface by means of a

PCI card, you must configure it separately, after installing the operating system; see:

■ “How to Add an Ethernet Interface” on page 49

48 Sun Enterprise 220R Server Owner’s Guide • October 1999

How to Add an Ethernet Interface

Before You Begin

Follow this procedure to install a PCI card for an additional Ethernet interface. You must perform the following tasks:

■ Install the system; see “How to Install the Sun Enterprise 220R Server” on page 13

Note – The following procedure must be performed by a qualified service provider.

If you are not a qualified service provider, contact Sun Customer Service through your nearest authorized Sun sales representative.

■ Install any additional PCI Ethernet interface cards that you wish to configure; see

the Sun Enterprise 220R Server Service Manual

■ Attach a cable to the new Ethernet port and to the network; see “How to Attach a

Twisted-Pair Ethernet (TPE) Cable” on page 52 or “How to Attach an MII Ethernet Transceiver” on page 54

What to Do

1. Assign a network host name to the interface.

The host name must be unique within the network. It can be made up of characters and numbers. Do not use a dot in the host name. Do not begin the name with a number or a special character.

Usually an interface host name is based on the machine host name. For example, if the machine is assigned the host name zardoz, then the additional Ethernet interface could be named zardoz-1. The machine’s host name is assigned when the operating system software is installed. For more information, see the installation instructions accompanying the Solaris software.

2. Determine the IP address for the interface.

An IP address must be assigned by your network administrator. Each interface on a network must have a unique IP address.

Chapter 3 Administration and Network Setup 49

3. Boot the operating system and log on to the system as superuser.

Type the following command at the system prompt and the superuser password:

zardoz # su Password:

4. Create an appropriate /etc/hostname file for the new interface.

The name of the file you create should be of the form /etc/hostname.typenum, where type is the Ethernet type identifier (some common types are hme, le, nf, and ie) and num is the logical number of the interface according to the order in which it was installed in the system.

For example, the standard interface provided on the system’s main logic board is hme0 (type = hme, num = 0). If you add a SunSwift™ PCI Ethernet adapter card as a second hme interface, the file name should be hostname.hme1.

Note – The documentation accompanying the Ethernet interface should identify its

type. Alternatively, you can enter the show-devs command from the ok prompt to obtain a list of all installed devices.

The host name has an associated IP address that you enter in the /etc/hosts file. See Step 6.

5. Type the host name, assigned in Step 1, to the /etc/hostname file for the new interface.

Following is an example of the /etc/hostname files required for a machine called zardoz, which has two Ethernet interfaces—the standard on-board Ethernet

interface (hme0) and a second interface provided by a PCI Ethernet adapter card (hme1). The host name will be zardoz to a network connected to the standard hme0 interface, and zardoz-1 to a network connected to the hme1 interface.

zardoz # cat /etc/hostname.hme0 zardoz zardoz # cat /etc/hostname.hme1 zardoz-1

50 Sun Enterprise 220R Server Owner’s Guide • October 1999

6. Create an entry in the /etc/hosts file for each active Ethernet interface.

An entry consists of the IP address and the host name for each interface. The following example shows the entries in the /etc/hosts file for the interfaces

identified in the /etc/hostname file created in Step 4 and Step 5.

zardoz # cat /etc/hosts ...

127.0.0.1 localhost

129.144.10.57 zardoz loghost

129.144.11.83 zardoz-1

7. Reboot the system; type:

zardoz # reboot -- -r

This command rebuilds the device trees so that the system will recognize the newly installed PCI Ethernet adapter card.

What Next

After completing this procedure, the Ethernet interface is ready for operation. However, in order for other network devices to communicate with the system through this interface, the interface information (its IP address and host name) must be entered into the namespace on the network name server. For information about setting up a network name service, consult the Solaris System Administrator AnswerBook for your specific Solaris release.

About Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability Features

Reliability, availability, and serviceability are three aspects of a system’s design contributing to continuous operation and minimizing system downtime for service. Reliability refers to a system’s ability to operate continuously without failures and to maintain data integrity. System availability refers to the percentage of time that a system remains accessible and usable. Serviceability relates to the time it takes to restore a system to service following a system failure. Together, reliability, availability, and serviceability provide for near continuous system operation.

To deliver high levels of reliability, availability, and serviceability, the system offers the following features:

■ Error correction and parity checking for improved data integrity

■ Easily accessible status indicators

■ Hot-pluggable disk drives

■ Support for RAID 0, 1 storage configurations on internal drives

■ Support for RAID 0, 1, 0 +1, and 5 storage configurations on external disk drives

■ Redundant power supply support

■ Hot-swappable power supplies

■ Four different levels of system diagnostics

Error Correction and Parity Checking

Error-correcting code (ECC) is used on all internal system data paths to ensure high levels of data integrity. All data that moves between processors, I/O, and memory have end-to-end ECC protection.

The system reports and logs correctable ECC errors. A correctable ECC error is any single-bit error in a 64-bit field. Such errors are corrected as soon as they are detected. The ECC implementation can also detect double-bit errors in the same 64-bit field and multiple- bit errors in the same nibble (4 bits).

In addition to providing ECC protection for data, the system offers parity protection on all system address buses. Parity protection is also used on the PCI and SCSI buses, and in the UltraSPARC CPU’s internal and external cache.

62 Sun Enterprise 220R Server Owner’s Guide • October 1999

Status LEDs

The system provides easily accessible light-emitting diode (LED) indicators on the system front panel, internal disk bays, and power supplies to provide a visual indication of system and component status. These status LEDs eliminate guesswork and simplify problem diagnosis for enhanced serviceability.

The system status LEDs are described in the section “About the Status and Control Panel” on page 7. Disk drive and power supply LEDs are described in “Error Indications” on page 138.

Hot-Pluggable Disk Drives

The hot-plug feature of the system’s internal disk drives permits the removal and installation of drives while the system is operational. All drives are easily accessed from the front of the system. Hot-plug technology significantly increases the system’s serviceability and availability, by providing the ability to:

■ Increase storage capacity dynamically to handle larger work loads and improve

system performance

■ Replace disk drives without service disruption

For more information about hot-pluggable disk drives, see “About Internal Disk Drives” on page 74 and “About Disk Array Configurations and Concepts” on page 70.

Support for RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID0+1, and RAID 5 Disk Configurations

The Solstice DiskSuite software designed for use with the system provides the ability to configure system disk storage in a variety of different RAID levels. You choose the appropriate RAID configuration based on the price, performance, reliability, and availability goals for your system.

RAID 0 (striping), RAID 1 (mirroring), RAID 0+1 (striping plus mirroring— sometimes called RAID 10), and RAID 5 configurations (striping with interleaved parity) can all be implemented using Solstice DiskSuite. You can also configure one or more drives to serve as a hot spare to fill in automatically for a defective drive in the event of a disk failure.

For more information about RAID configurations, see “About Disk Array Configurations and Concepts” on page 70.

Chapter 4 Hardware Configuration 63

Power Supply Redundancy

The system can accommodate one or two power supplies. All system configurations can operate with only one power supply installed. A second supply can be used to provide redundancy, allowing the system to continue operating should one of the power supplies fail.

For more information about power supplies, redundancy, and configuration rules, see “About Power Supplies” on page 76.

Hot-Swappable Power Supplies

Power supplies in a redundant configuration feature a hot-swap capability. A qualified service provider can remove and replace a faulty power supply without turning off the system power, or even shutting down the operating system. The power supplies are easily accessed from the front of the system. For information about removing and installing a power supply, see the Sun Enterprise 220R Server Service Manual.

Four Levels of Diagnostics

For enhanced serviceability and availability, the system provides four different levels of diagnostic testing: power-on self-test (POST), OpenBoot diagnostics (OBDiag), SunVTS™, and Sun Enterprise SyMON™.

POST and OBDiag are firmware-resident diagnostics that can run even if the server is unable to boot the operating system. Application-level diagnostics, such as SunVTS and Sun Enterprise SyMON, offer additional troubleshooting capabilities once the operating system is running.

POST diagnostics provide a quick but thorough check of the most basic hardware functions of the system. For more information about POST, see “About Power-On Self-Test (POST) Diagnostics” on page 120 and “How to Use POST Diagnostics” on page 121.

OBDiag diagnostics provide a more comprehensive test of the system, including external interfaces. OBDiag is described in “About OpenBoot Diagnostics (OBDiag)” on page 126 and “How to Use OpenBoot Diagnostics (OBDiag)” on page 129.

64 Sun Enterprise 220R Server Owner’s Guide • October 1999

At the application level, you have access to SunVTS diagnostics. Like OBDiag, SunVTS provides a comprehensive test of the system, including its external interfaces. SunVTS also allows you to run tests remotely over a network connection. You can only use SunVTS if the operating system is running. For more information about SunVTS, see “About SunVTS Software” on page 132, “How to Use SunVTS Software” on page 135, and “How to Check Whether SunVTS Software Is Installed” on page 134.

Another application-level program, called Sun Enterprise SyMON, provides you with a variety of continuous system monitoring capabilities. It allows you to monitor system hardware status and operating system performance of your server. For more information about Sun Enterprise SyMON software, see “About Sun Enterprise SyMON Software” on page 137.

Chapter 4 Hardware Configuration 65

About Memory

The system’s main logic board provides 16 slots for high-capacity dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). The system supports Sun standard 200-pin, 5-volt, 60-nanosecond memory modules. Modules of 32-, 64-, or 128-Mbyte capacities can be installed in the system. Total main memory is expandable up to 2 Gbytes.

Memory slots are organized into four banks (banks 0 through 3), with each bank comprising four slots.

The system reads from, or writes to, all four DIMMs in a bank at the same time. DIMMs, therefore, must be added four at a time in the same bank. For the DIMM bank organization and numbering scheme see “DIMM Failure” on page 152.

Memory modules are delicate. Ensure that you take appropriate precautions to avoid damaging them through electrostatic discharge. The memory modules must be replaced or installed by a qualified service provider; for information about removing and installing DIMMs, see the Sun Enterprise 220R Server Service Manual.

Configuration Rules

The following memory configuration rules apply to your system:

■ At least one memory bank (all four bank slots) must be filled for the system

to boot

■ Each bank used must have four identical capacity DIMMs installed (for example,

four 64-Mbyte DIMMs or four 128-Mbyte DIMMs)

■ DIMMs must be added four at a time within the same bank

DIMM capacities can differ from one bank to the next—for example, four 64-Mbyte DIMMs installed in bank 0 and four 128-Mbyte DIMMs installed in bank 2 is permissible

Caution – DIMMs are made of electronic components that are extremely sensitive

to static electricity. Static from your clothes or work environment can destroy the modules. Do not remove any DIMM from its antistatic packaging until you are ready to install it on the system board. Handle the modules only by their edges. Do not touch the components or any metal parts. Always wear a grounding strap when you handle the modules.

66 Sun Enterprise 220R Server Owner’s Guide • October 1999

About CPU Modules

The UltraSPARC II CPU module is a high-performance, highly-integrated superscalar processor implementing the SPARC-V9 64-bit reduced instruction set computer (RISC) architecture. The UltraSPARC II processor supports both 2-D and 3-D graphics, as well as image processing, video compression and decompression, and video effects through the sophisticated visual instruction set (VIS). VIS provides high levels of multimedia performance, including real-time video compression/ decompression and two streams of MPEG-2 decompression at full broadcast quality with no additional hardware support.

The system’s main logic board provides slots for two UltraSPARC II CPU modules. Each processor module includes one CPU chip with integrated cache memory for data and instructions, as well as 1 Mbyte or more of external static random access memory (SRAM) cache memory.

Processor modules communicate with the system’s main memory and I/O subsystem via the system’s high-speed Ultra Port Architecture (UPA) data bus. The UPA’s clock rate is automatically synchronized with the clock speed of the CPU modules. The UPA’s clock rate operates at a ratio of the CPU’s clock speed. For example, if the CPUs operate at 450 MHz, the UPA data bus could operate at one fourth the clock speed at 112.5 MHz.

A qualified service provider must remove and replace CPU modules in your system. For information about installing and removing CPU modules, see the Sun Enterprise 220R Server Service Manual.

Configuration Rules

The following rules apply for your system:

■ You can install one or two UltraSPARC II CPU modules into the server.

■ The first CPU module must be installed in the slot labeled CPU0—the one closest

to the system’s four PCI slots.

■ If you install more than one CPU module, the modules must operate at identical

clock speeds (450 MHz, for example) and they must have the same size cache memory. This generally means the CPU modules must have the same part number.

For information about the CPU slot locations on the main logic board, see the Sun Enterprise 220R Server Service Manual.

Chapter 4 Hardware Configuration 67

About Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Buses

All system communication with storage peripherals and network interface devices is mediated by a Ultra Port Architecture-to-Peripheral Component Inter-connect (UPA-to-PCI) bridge chip, located on the system’s main logic board. This bridge chip manages communication between the UPA bus and the system’s two PCI buses. These PCI buses support slots for up to four PCI interface cards. One PCI bus (bus 0) also handles communication between the system and devices connected to the main logic board’s SCSI, FastEthernet, serial, parallel, and keyboard/mouse ports.

PCI cards come in a variety of configurations. Not all cards will fit or operate in all PCI slots, so it is important to know the specifications of your PCI cards and the types of cards supported by each PCI slot in the system.

Some PCI cards are as short as 6.875 inches (17.46 cm) in length (called “short” cards), while the maximum length of PCI cards is 12.28 inches (31.19 cm, called “long” cards). Each slot in the system can accommodate either a long or a short card.

Older PCI cards communicate over 32-bit PCI buses, while many newer cards communicate over wider 64-bit buses. Three of the PCI slots will accept either 32-bit or 64-bit wide cards, while the fourth is 32-bits wide.

Older PCI cards operate at 5 VDC, while newer cards are designed to operate on

3.3 VDC. Cards that require 5 volts will not operate in 3.3-volt slots, and 3.3-volt cards will not operate in 5-volt slots. “Universal” PCI cards are designed to operate on either 3.3 volts or 5 volts, so these cards can be inserted into either type of slot. The system provides three slots for 5-volt cards and one slot for a 3.3-volt card. All four PCI slots accept universal cards.

Most PCI cards operate at clock speeds of 33 MHz, while some newer cards operate at 66 MHz. All four PCI slots can accept 33-MHz cards. 66-MHz cards are restricted to the slot labeled PCI 1.

68 Sun Enterprise 220R Server Owner’s Guide • October 1999

The table below shows the mapping of the PCI slots to the two PCI buses, and the type of PCI cards supported in each slot.

For the board addresses of the PCI slots on the main logic board, see the Sun Enterprise 220R Server Service Manual.

Configuration Rules

The following rules apply for your system:

■ All slots support PCI universal cards.

■ All slots support PCI long or short cards.

■ Each slot can supply up to 15 watts of power. The total power used for all four

slots must not exceed 60 watts.

You can install PCI cards into any compatible PCI slots. Slots need not be filled in any particular order. In most cases, the system’s I/O performance will be unaffected by placement of PCI cards in the slots. Heavily loaded systems, however, will deliver better overall performance by installing high-throughput interface cards on separate buses. Examples of high-throughput interfaces are dual-channel UltraSCSI host adapters and ATM-622 interfaces.

You can also improve overall system availability by installing redundant storage or network interfaces on separate PCI buses.

Chapter 4 Hardware Configuration 69

About Disk Array Configurations and Concepts

The Solstice DiskSuite software is designed for use with the Sun Enterprise 220R server ’s internal and external disk drives. The software supports a variety of configurations called disk arrays, which improve storage performance, capacity, and availability.

Note – Solstice DiskSuite and other software must be ordered separately.

This section describes some of the most popular and useful of those configurations, including:

■ Disk concatenation

■ Disk mirroring (RAID 1)

■ Disk striping (RAID 0)

■ Disk striping with parity (RAID 5)

■ Hot spares

■ Hot plug

The DiskSuite software creates metadevices—logical disk devices consisting of one or more physical disks or partitions from several disks. Once you use Solstice DiskSuite to create a metadevice, the operating system uses and maintains the metadevice as if it were a single device.

For instance, you can combine the two disks c1t2d0s2 and c1t3d0s2 into the metadevice /dev/md/rdsk/d0.

The Sun Enterprise 220R server’s internal disks support RAID 1, RAID 0, and RAID 1 + RAID 0. More complicated configurations, including RAID 5, are supported using external disk arrays and one or more PCI host adapter cards.

70 Sun Enterprise 220R Server Owner’s Guide • October 1999

Disk Concatenation

Disk concatenation is a method for increasing logical volume size beyond the capacity of one disk drive by creating one large metadevice from two or more smaller drives. This lets you create arbitrarily large partitions.

Using this method, the concatenated disks are filled with data sequentially, with the second disk being written to when no space remains on the first, the third when no room remains on the second, and so on.

Disk Mirroring: RAID 1

Disk mirroring is a technique that uses data redundancy—two complete copies of all data stored on two separate disks—to protect against loss of data due to disk failure. One metadevice is created from two disks.

Whenever the operating system needs to write to the mirrored metadevice, both disks are updated. The disks are maintained at all times with exactly the same information. When the operating system needs to read from the mirrored metadevice, it reads from whichever disk is more readily accessible at the moment. The scheme is sometimes called RAID 1, where RAID stands for redundant arrays of inexpensive disks.

RAID 1 offers the highest level of data protection, but storage costs are high, since all data is stored twice.

Chapter 4 Hardware Configuration 71

Disk Striping: RAID 0

Disk striping (sometimes called RAID 0) is a technique for increasing system throughput by using several disk drives in parallel. Whereas in non-striped disks the operating system writes a single block to a single disk, in a striped arrangement each block is divided and portions of the data are written to different disks.

System performance using RAID 0 will be better than using RAID 1 or 5, but the possibility of data loss is greater because there is no way to retrieve or reconstruct data stored on a failed drive.

Disk Striping With Parity: RAID 5

RAID 5 is an implementation of disk striping in which parity information is included with each disk write. The advantage of the technique is that if any one disk in a RAID 5 array fails, all the information on the failed drive can be reconstructed from the data and parity on the remaining disks.

System performance using RAID 5 will fall between that of RAID 0 and RAID 1, and all data loss is fully protected.

Hot Spares

In a hot-spares arrangement, one or more disk drives are installed in the system but are unused during normal operation. Should one of the active drives fail, disk write operations are automatically redirected to a hot-spare disk and the failed disk drive is retired from operation.
