Introduction to the System Controller

The system controller consists of the System Controller board and the system controller software.
The system controller software does the following:
Monitors and controls the system
Manages hardware
Configures domains
Provides the date and time to the Solaris operating environment
Provides the clock signal used on all system boards
Provides a platform console and a domain console
Provides system monitoring and control using SNMP for use with the Sun
Management Center 3.0 software.
For more information on the system controller, refer to the “Overview” chapter of the Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800/3800 Systems Platform Administration Manual and also the Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800/3810 Systems Overview Manual.

Platform and Domain Administration

The platform administration function manages resources and services that are shared among the domains. With this function, you can configure how resources and services are configured and shared.
The domain administration function manages resources and services for a specific domain. With this function you can configure the domain, control the keyswitch position, and access the domain console.
1
For more information on the platform administration and domain administration functions, refer to the “Overview” chapter of the Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800/3800 Systems Platform Administration Manual.

System Controller Syntax, Arguments, and Device Names

This chapter describes the following topics:
“Command Syntax and Arguments” on page 3
“Command Names” on page 4
“Component Names” on page 4
“Board States for CPU/Memory Boards and I/O Assemblies” on page 6
“Board Test Status” on page 6
“Domain Status” on page 7
“Interactive Commands” on page 8
“Command Line Editing” on page 9
“Command Line History” on page 10
“Command Completion” on page 11

Command Syntax and Arguments

The general syntax of system controller commands is:
command_name [flags][arguments]
3
Arguments are the words that follow the command name and are divided into two categories:
Required arguments
Optional arguments
Optional arguments always follow the option flags on the command line. In the following example, the optional domainID argument, a, follows the option flag, -d. The boardname argument, which is sb2 in this example, is a required argument and is the board name for a CPU/Memory board.
schostname:SC> addboard -d a sb2

Command Names

Most system controller commands are in the form of verbnoun. Command names are in the English language. System controller commands are case insensitive.
Note – When typing system controller commands, you can type the complete
command name or type just enough of the command name to uniquely identify it.

Component Names

TABLE 2-1 shows the component names that are accessible from the platform. TABLE 2-2 shows the component names that are accessible from the domain. In both
tables, you can type the component names in either upper case or lower case.
4 Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800/3800 System Controller Command Reference Manual • October 2001
Note – The components in TABLE 2-1 and TABLE 2-2 depend on the system you have.
For example, only the Sun Fire 6800 system can have six power supplies and six CPU/Memory boards.
TABLE2-1 Components That Are Accessible From the Platform
Device Description Device Name

Board States for CPU/Memory Boards and I/O Assemblies

TABLE 2-3 lists the board states for the CPU/Memory boards and I/O assemblies. To
determine the board state, use the showboards command and look under the State header.
TABLE2-3 Board States
Board States Description
Available The board is not assigned to any domain. Assigned The board belongs to a domain, but the hardware has not been
configured or it is not in use.
Active The board is being actively used by the domain to which it has been
assigned. You cannot reassign an active board.
The System Controller board, ID board, power supplies, and Repeater boards do not have a State. A dash is displayed In the Board Status field for these boards and components (see
TABLE 2-4). Fan trays have a state of off, low speed, and high speed.

Board Test Status

TABLE 2-4 describes the Status field of the showboards command.
TABLE2-4 Status Field of the showboards Command
Test Status Description
Passed All board components passed testing. Failed The board failed testing and is not usable. This could also indicate
corrupt or incompatible firmware. OK The component is functioning properly. Under Test The domain is running POST (power-on self-test); testing has been
initiated using the setkeyswitch command, the testboard
command, or an SNMP operation.

TABLE2-4 Status Field of the showboards Command (Continued)
Test Status Description
Not Tested The board has not been tested. Degraded Certain components on the board have failed or are disabled. A
board is degraded when there are still usable parts on the board.
- The slot is empty or not applicable for this device.

Domain Status

In the showplatform and showdomain commands, one of the fields in the command output is domain status. The main values of domain status are (
TABLE 2-5):

Special Characters
To execute multiple commands on the same line, separate them with a semicolon (;). The following example executes both the addboard and deleteboard commands.
schostname:A> addboard sb2;deleteboard sb3
A pound sign ( # ) signifies the start of a comment on the current line. The following example executes the addboard command. Everything you type after the # and before pressing the Return key is ignored.
schostname:A> addboard sb2 #this text is ignored

Interactive Commands

Some commands may prompt for confirmation before executing the command. You can disable prompting by specifying the -y or -n flags, which answer yes or no to any prompted question.
Some commands, such as setupplatform and setupdomain, are always interactive.
When an interactive command prompts for input, do the following:
Press the Return key to keep the current setting, displayed in braces [ ].
Type a dash ( - ) to change the current setting to an empty string (if the input
type is used to define a string).

Command Completion

Using the command completion function makes it easier for you to enter long commands. After typing part of the command, use the completion keystroke (
TABLE 2-8). This action searches the list of available commands for commands
beginning with the characters you typed thus far.
If there is only one possible command, the remainder of the characters are entered
for you automatically.
If there are several possibilities, any characters that are common to all of the
possible selections are filled in.
If there are no defined commands starting with the given characters, the
characters are erased until there is a minimum of one selection for the remaining characters.
TABLE 2-8 lists the keystrokes to complete a command.

Alphabetical Listing of System Controller Commands

The following sections describe the system controller commands.

addboard

Assigns a board to a domain.
Scope
platform shell, domain shell
Syntax for the Platform Shell
addboard -d domainID system_board_name [system_board_name ...] addboard -h
Syntax for the Domain Shell
addboard system_board_name [system_board_name ...] addboard -h
Options/Parameters
-d specifies a domainID as an option (platform shell only). domainID is a, b, c, or d.
-h displays help for this command.
system_board_name is the board to be added. Possible values for system_board_name are sb0–sb5 (CPU/Memory board) or ib6 - ib9 (I/O assembly).
16 Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800/3800 System Controller Command Reference Manual • October 2001
Description
Assigns system_board_name to the specified domain within the platform shell or to the current domain. The board state must be Available. To display the board state, use the showboards command. For more information on board states, see “Board States for CPU/Memory Boards and I/O Assemblies” on page 6.
To assign a board to a domain using a domain shell, the board name must be listed in the Access Control List (ACL) for the current domain. When a board is listed in the ACL, the system controller software is allowed to process addboard requests on that board. The platform shell does not use the ACL and can always add boards to a domain. The platform shell can also delete boards from a domain and either ignores the ACL or overrides the ACL. You configure the ACLs and also restrict the domains a board has access to using the setupplatform command.
If a board is assigned to an active domain, the board will not be used. To unassign a board from a domain, you must halt the Solaris operating environment in the domain. For an overview of steps to perform, see the section “Assigning and Unassigning Boards” in the “Maintenance” chapter of the Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800/3800 Systems Platform Administration Manual.
If a board is not present, the command assigns ownership of the slot to the specified domain.

C0, C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7—the number of cards varies with the
I/O assembly
Description
This command adds a component to the blacklist. Blacklisting provides a list of components that will not be tested and will not be configured into the domain when you change the domain’s keyswitch from an inactive state to an active state or reboot the domain.
Blacklist a component or device if you believe it may be failing intermittently. When you disable any component, the subcomponents are also disabled. For
example, if you disable a CPU, the Ecache and memory that are also controlled by the CPU is automatically disabled.
Devices can be the following (see
Ports (CPU on a CPU/Memory board and I/O controller on an I/O assembly)
Physical and logical memory banks
I/O buses
I/O cards
TABLE 3-3 and TABLE 3-4):
Blacklisting is done on a per domain basis. When you run the disablecomponent command in a domain shell, the component is blacklisted for the current domain. When you run the disablecomponent command from the platform shell, the component is disabled in all of the domains.
Using this command, the platform shell blacklists supersede the domain shell blacklists. For example, if a component is disabled in the platform shell, it will be disabled in all domains.

dumpconfig

Saves the platform and domain configurations to a server.
Scope
platform shell
Syntax
dumpconfig -f url dumpconfig -h
Options/Parameters
-h displays help for this command.
-f specifies the URL, which must use the ftp protocol. The URL must point to a
directory and not a file. Examples are:
ftp://userid:password@host/path ftp://host/path
Note – The hostname you enter can be the hostname or a hostname with a fully
qualified domain name. You cannot use a partial domain name. For example: schostname, schostname.eng.sun.com can be a valid hostname.
Note – The directory specified in the URL path must have write permission for the
specified user. If a user was not specified, then anonymous ftp is used.
Chapter 3 System Controller Alphabetical Command Reference 33
Description
Saves the platform and domain configurations to a server for recovery in case of a system controller failure. This command creates two data files at the specified URL: schostname.nvci and schostname.tod.
Use this command when you complete setting up the initial configuration of the platform and the domains, each time you modify the configuration, or change the hardware configuration. For example, when you type one of the following commands: setupplatform, setupdomain, setdate, addboard, deleteboard, enablecomponent, disablecomponent, and password. The data files include schostname.nvci and schostname.tod. By running this command again, the new platform and domain configurations are saved to a server.
Caution – This command should be run any time you change the platform or
domain configuration (see the list of commands in the first paragraph). Invoking this command is very important because if the System Controller board fails and you did not use this command to save the platform and domain configurations, you will have to manually reconfigure the platform and the domains.
This command is intended to be used as part of the procedure in replacing a failed System Controller board. You should not use this command to revert to an old configuration. The showplatform, showdomain, showcomponent, and showboards system controller commands display all of the configuration and can be used as a reference.
If you need to replace the System Controller board, this configuration information can be used to restore the platform and domain configurations to the replacement System Controller board.

Description
Removes a component from the blacklist. Blacklisting provides a list of components that will not be tested and will not be configured into the domain when you change the keyswitch setting from an inactive state to an active state or when the domain is rebooted.
Components can be the following:
Ports (CPU on the CPU/Memory board or I/O controller on the I/O assembly)
Physical and logical memory banks
I/O buses
I/O cards
Blacklisting is done on a per domain basis. When you run the enablecomponent command from the domain, the component is removed from the blacklist for the current domain. When the enablecomponent command is run from the platform shell, the component is removed from the blacklist for all domains.
Using this command, the platform shell blacklists supersede the domain shell blacklists. For example, if a component is enabled in the platform shell, it will be enabled in all domains.

38 Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800/3800 System Controller Command Reference Manual • October 2001
Note – The hostname you enter must be a host name or a host name with a fully
qualified domain name. You cannot use a partial domain name. Some examples include: schostname, schostname.eng.sun.com.
board is the board name.
-c specifies that the image should be copied from another board.
source_board is the source board for the flash images.
destination_board is the destination board for the flash images.
-u automatically updates all of the boards from the board with the highest revision. all updates the system controller, all system boards (CPU/Memory boards and I/O
assemblies), and the system controller real time operating system (rtos). system_boards are all CPU/Memory boards and I/O assemblies. scapp updates the current system controller. Updating the system controller reboots
the system controller and disconnects all the current connections. To update the other system controller, you must run the flashupdate command from the other system controller. Use showsc to determine which system controller you are currently using so you know the system controller you must go to next to update it.
rtos updates the real time operating system for the system controller. If you have a second System Controller board installed, when you update the real time operating system also update the rtos on the second System Controller board. To update the rtos on the second system controller, run the flashupdate command from the second System Controller board.
domainID (a, b, c,ord) upgrades all boards that are assigned to this domain.
Description
Updates the firmware on the system controller, CPU/Memory boards, and I/O assemblies. There is no firmware on Repeater boards. Boards must be powered on in order to be updated with flashupdate. If a board does not have power, the flashupdate command will do nothing and stop with an error message. Boards that are in a secure domain cannot be updated.
Caution – When you update the firmware on the system controller, update only one
system controller. DO NOT update both system controllers at the same time.
Chapter 3 System Controller Alphabetical Command Reference 39
Note – Any time the firmware is upgraded, check the Install.info file for the
firmware upgrade procedure. This file is provided with your latest software release. Also refer to the Release Notes for any notes or special procedures.
If you install a replacement board into the system:
1. Check if the firmware level of the replacement board is the same as the board you
replaced. Incompatible boards are noted by the Failed board state in the output of the showboards command.
2. If the board level is not the same as the board you replaced, perform the
flashupdate procedure on the board.
3. If a board was noted by the Failed state in showboards, after you
flashupdate a compatible version, power off the board to clear the Failed state.
Before you update the flash images, make sure the firmware on the replacement board is compatible with the firmware of the board you are replacing for scapp, CPU/Memory board, and I/O assembly PROMs. New firmware is loaded if you reboot the domain or turn the domain keyswitch off with setkeyswitch off and then turn it on with setkeyswitch on.
To determine the version number of the current firmware:
1. Use the showboards -p proms command.
2. Compare the x.y.z number format. If x and y are the same, then the flash images
are compatible. The new firmware may also contain a new rtos image. If the rtos image that is
currently installed is different than the rtos supplied with the software, you must upgrade the rtos image.
To determine the version number of the current rtos:
1. Use showsc. The README file contains the version number of the new rtos
image. There is currently no method to determine that the scapp and rtos versions are
compatible.
Note – If you fail to check all versions, the domains can crash or the system
controller would fail to reboot normally.
40 Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800/3800 System Controller Command Reference Manual • October 2001
Caution – While upgrading the firmware, heed the following precautions:
- Read the README and Install.info files before you upgrade the firmware.
- Do not change the keyswitch position of any domain.
- Do not use DR.
- Do not power off any boards.
- Do not reboot the system controller.
If you upgrade the scapp or rtos images for status:
1. It is important to watch the console during the flashupdate procedure.
2. Monitor the console if errors are reported. If the images that are already installed are incompatible with the new images:
1. Shut down the domains before performing the firmware upgrade.
2. After you perform the firmware upgrade, reboot the domains. If the images that are already installed are compatible with the new images:
1. Reboot the domains after performing the flashupdate procedure. Even though the firmware is compatible with the older firmware version, you must upgrade the firmware to obtain new features and bug fixes.
If you install a replacement board into the system:
1. Check if the firmware level of the replacement board is the same as the board you replaced.
2. If is it not, perform the flashupdate procedure on the board.
Caution – Under normal circumstances, the flashupdate command will complete
successfully. However, if the flashupdate command is terminated abnormally (such as a power failure, a failed network connection, and so on), the system controller goes into maintenance mode.
To bring the system controller out of maintenance mode and back into its normal operating mode, type the flashupdate command with a valid URL or use the reboot command to boot the system controller with an older firmware version.

Domain shell component_name(s):
CPU/Memory board (sb0 - sb5)
I/O assembly (ib6 - ib9)
Note – The specified board must be in the current domain.
Description
Powers off a component or a list of components. For the domain shell, the specified board must be in the current domain. All slots listed by showboards can be powered off except for system controllers
(SSC0 and SSC1) and the ID board (ID0). A powered-off component will not be monitored. Use the showboards command to display the power status of each board.
You can power off any component except when the board is in the Active state (see the showboards command to display the board state). When a component is in the Active state, a warning is displayed on the console that tells you the entire domain will go down. You are asked to confirm with a warning of the consequences.
If a board is active in a domain and you forcefully power off a device (board), the keyswitch for the domain will be set to standby. To change the keyswitch setting, use the setkeyswitch command.
Repeater boards do not have an Active state. You cannot power off a Repeater board if it is being used by a domain.
You can turn off power supplies if turning off the power supply would leave sufficient power in the power grid to support the current load of the power grid. This varies with the configuration. It you attempt to power off a power supply that is required to support the current load, the power supply will not be powered off and a message stating why is displayed. You can power off redundant power supplies.
If powering off a fan would result in insufficient cooling, it cannot be powered off.

Description
Powers on a component or a list of components You must specify component_name(s). You can power on any component that is not already powered on if there is
sufficient power to support the component when it is powered on. From the domain, only components that are assigned to the domain can be powered on. To power on a component, the power grid power must also be on.
Fan trays are automatically powered on when a power supply is powered on. Fan trays obtain power from the power grid(s).
The System Controller boards obtain their power from a secondary power output on the power supplies. The System Controller boards power on automatically when the system is supplied with power. For example, the System Controller boards will power on automatically on a Sun Fire 6800 system if the power cords are connected, the system has power, and the circuit breaker(s) are on. The System Controller board will automatically power on the Sun Fire 4810/4800/3800 systems if the power cords are connected to the power source, the system has power, and the power supply switches are turned on (Sun Fire 3800 system only).
The fan trays power on automatically if any power supply is on.

reset

Resets the domain.
Scope
domain shell
Syntax
reset [-y|-n][-x|-a] reset -h
Options/Parameters
-y answers yes to the question asked (executes the command).
-n answers no to the question asked (does not execute the command).
-h displays help for this command.
Options/Parameters
With no arguments, typing reset is the same as typing reset -x.
-x resets via XIR (externally initiated reset). Use XIR to try to obtain diagnostic data
(default).
-a reset is equivalent to the OpenBoot PROM reset-all command.
Description
This command also resumes the domain console. Resetting the domain is not allowed if the keyswitch is in the secure position. Before you can reset the domain, change the keyswitch position to on. Resetting the domain is not possible if the keyswitch is configured in either the off or standby position.
By default, reset uses XIR (externally initiated reset) to reset the CPUs in the domain. The externally initiated reset forces control of the domain into the OpenBoot PROM and begins the OpenBoot PROM error reset recovery actions. The error reset recovery actions preserve most domain states to allow collecting data needed for debugging the hardware and software, including a Solaris operating environment core file. The OpenBoot PROM error reset recovery actions are
Chapter 3 System Controller Alphabetical Command Reference 57
controlled by setting the OpenBoot PROM error-reset-recovery configuration variable. For the definition of this variable and the various settings, see
TABLE 3-10 in
setupdomain” on page 76. Note that the OpenBoot PROM reset command does not generate a core file as this
command does. You cannot reset a domain that has been paused. The domain is paused
automatically when hardware detects an error. Messages on the domain console indicate that the domain is paused.
To take a domain out of the paused state:
1. Turn the keyswitch off with setkeyswitch off.
2. Turn the keyswitch on with setkeyswitch on.

restoreconfig

Restores the platform and domain configurations from a server.
Scope
platform shell
Syntax
restoreconfig [-y|-n] -f url restoreconfig -h
Options/Parameters
-h displays help for this command.
-y does not prompt for confirmation.
-n does not execute this command if confirmation is required.
-f specifies a URL, which must use the ftp protocol.
url is the directory containing the data files. The URL must point to a directory and not a file. Examples are:

Note – The hostname you enter can be the host name or the host name with a fully
qualified domain name, such as schostname or schostname.eng.sun.com.Youcannot use a partial domain name.
Description
Restores the platform and domain configurations from a server if a system controller board has failed and has been replaced. This is based on the two data files created by the dumpconfig command, schostanme.nvci and schostname.tod, at the specified URL, which must point to a directory and use the ftp protocol. This command prompts you for a new platform password.
Chapter 3 System Controller Alphabetical Command Reference 59
Caution – The dumpconfig command is intended to be used as part of replacing a
failed system controller. For instructions on how to use dumpconfig, see “To Use the dumpconfig Command to Save the Current Platform and Domain Configurations to a Server” in the chapter “System Power On and Setup” in the Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800/3800 Systems Platform Administration Manual. This command should have been executed when you set up the system.
This command requires that all domains be powered off with the setkeyswitch off command. The system controller automatically reboots when the configuration is restored. The date and time need to be set after the configuration has been restored and the system controller has been rebooted. You also need to activate all domains with setkeyswitch on, since this command restores all domains in the off keyswitch position.
Note – Check the configuration of the platform and the domains before activating
any domains to ensure that the desired configuration has been restored. In the platform shell use showplatform, showboards, and showdate. In each domain shell use showdomain, showboards, and showdate.

TABLE3-8 Description of the setkeyswitch Transition
Value Description
off Changes the board state of all the boards belonging to a domain to the
Assigned board status, and places the boards in low-power mode, which allows you to remove the boards from the system. The domain will not be initialized at system power on.
standby Changes the board state of all the boards belonging to a domain to the
Assigned board state and turns on the boards. The domain will not be initialized at system power on, but the boards that comprise the domain will be powered on.
on Powers on and initializes the domain. The system controller brings the
domain into OpenBoot PROM through POST. If the OpenBoot PROM has auto-boot? set to true, then the Solaris operating environment boots automatically.
diag Similar to the setkeyswitch on command except the POST verbose mode
is set to on and the POST diagnostic level is set to maximum.
secure Similar to the setkeyswitch on command except that the break command
and the reset commands are ignored. CPU/Memory board and I/O assembly flash PROM updates are not allowed.
TABLE 3-9 shows the results when you change a keyswitch setting.
TABLE3-9 Results of Changing the Keyswitch From the Current Setting to a New Setting
Current Setting New Setting Result
off off Keyswitch position not changed. off standby Powers on all of the boards. The boards belonging to a domain
should already be in the Assigned state. The domain will not be initialized at system power on.
off on Powers on and initializes the domain. The domain will go
through POST and the OpenBoot PROM. The Solaris operating environment boots automatically unless you have set the OpenBoot PROM auto-boot? set to false.
off diag Similar to on, except POST verbose and diagnostic level is to
set to maximum. The domain will boot from the diag-device.
off secure Similar to on, except the reset and break commands are
ignored by the domain shell.

ignored. secure on break and reset are not ignored. secure diag This change is setting has no effect on a running domain. secure secure Keyswitch position not changed.
Chapter 3 System Controller Alphabetical Command Reference 73
Description
Each domain has a virtual keyswitch with five positions: off, standby, on, diag, and secure. The setkeyswitch command changes the position of the virtual keyswitch to the specified value. The virtual keyswitch replaces the need for a physical keyswitch for each domain.
If it is not possible to access the domain shell, set the keyswitch position for the domain to off from the platform shell. Setting the keyswitch position to off for a domain without first halting the Solaris operating environment may cause problems. If the domain is running the Solaris operating environment, the setkeyswitch command parameters off and standby require confirmation.
If the domain is already powered on, the setkeyswitch on, setkeyswitch diag, and setkeyswitch secure commands will change only the position of the virtual keyswitch. If components making up a domain such as a I/O assembly or CPU/Memory board need to be powered on, the system attempts to power on these boards or devices also.
When the keyswitch position changes to on, secure, or diag from any keyswitch position, the domain console is resumed.
If a failure occurred during keyswitch transition, the keyswitch position is reset to off or standby after recovering from the failure.
The system controller maintains the position of each keyswitch even during power failures or physical power cycles. When you power on the system after either a power failure or system power off, the system controller activates any domains that were active when the power went off.

setupdomain

Configures the domain.
Scope
domain shell
Syntax
setupdomain [-p part]... setupdomain -h
Options/Parameters
-h displays help for this command.
-p part configures the specified information and has the following options:
bootparams configures the boot parameter information.
loghost configures the log hosts
snmp configures SNMP information.
TABLE 3-10 lists the parameter values for setupdomain. Note that for diag-level
definition and function of default and max are the same. Because the tests for mem1 and mem2 take a long time to run, use the default or max values. However, if you suspect memory problems, then use the mem1 or mem2 values.
TABLE3-10 Parameter Values for the setupdomain Command
Parameter Value Description
diag-level init Only system board initialization code is run. No
testing is done. This is a very fast pass through POST.
quick All system board components are tested using few
tests with few test patterns.
default (default value) All system board components are tested with all tests
and test patterns, except for memory and Ecache modules. For memory and Ecache modules, all locations are tested with multiple patterns. More extensive, time-consuming algorithms are not run at this level. This is the same as max.
76 Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800/3800 System Controller Command Reference Manual • October 2001
TABLE3-10 Parameter Values for the setupdomain Command (Continued)
Parameter Value Description
max All system board components are tested with all tests
and test patterns. This is the same as default.
mem1 Runs all tests at the default level plus more
exhaustive DRAM and SRAM test algorithms. These tests take a long time to run.
mem2 This is the same as mem1 with the addition of a
DRAM test that does explicit compare operations of the DRAM data. These tests take a long time to run.
verbosity-level off No status messages are displayed. POST output is
always displayed. However, with the value set to off, there is very little POST output displayed and there may be a long time between output displays. This depends on your hardware configuration and the setting of diag-level.
min (default value) Test names status messages, and error messages are
displayed.
max Subtest trace messages are displayed.
error-level off No error messages are displayed.
min The failing test name is displayed. max (default value) All relevant error status is displayed.
interleave-scope within-cpu The memory banks on a CPU will be interleaved
with each other. Each CPU may have up to four logical memory banks.
within-board (default value)
The memory banks on a system board will be interleaved with each other.
across-boards The memory will be interleaved on all memory
banks across all of the boards in the domain.
With this value, you cannot remove a CPU/Memory board from the system using DR.
interleave-mode optimal (default value) The memory is mixed-size interleaving in order to
gain optimal performance.
fixed The memory is fixed-size interleaving. off There is no memory interleaving.
reboot-on-error false (default value) The domain will be paused when the system
controller detects a hardware error.
Chapter 3 System Controller Alphabetical Command Reference 77
TABLE3-10 Parameter Values for the setupdomain Command (Continued)
Parameter Value Description
true The domain is rebooted when a hardware error is
detected. If OBP.auto-boot? is set to true, the Solaris operating environment is booted.
OBP.use-nvramrc? This parameter is the same as the OpenBoot PROM
nvramrc? parameter. This parameter uses aliases that are stored in nvramrc.
true The OpenBoot PROM executes the script stored in
nvramrc if this parameter is set to true.
false (default value) The OpenBoot PROM does not evaluate the script
stored in nvramrc if this parameter is set to false.
OBP.auto-boot? Controls booting of the Solaris operating
environment.
true (default value) If this value is true, the domain boots automatically
after POST has run.
false If this parameter value is set to false, you will obtain
the OpenBoot PROM ok prompt after POST runs, from which you must type a boot command to boot the Solaris operating environment.
OBP.error-reset­recovery
Controls the behavior of the domain after an externally initiated reset (XIR) as well as a red mode trap.
sync (default value) The OpenBoot PROM invokes sync. A core file is
generated. If the invocation returns, the OpenBoot PROM performs a reboot.
none The OpenBoot PROM prints a message describing
the reset trap that triggered the error reset and passes control to the OpenBoot PROM ok prompt. The message describing the reset trap type is platform specific.
boot The OpenBoot PROM firmware reboots the domain.
A core file is not generated. Rebooting a domain occurs using the OpenBoot PROM settings for diag-device or boot-device, depending on the value of the OpenBoot PROM configuration variable
diag-switch?
If diag-switch? is set to true, the device names in diag-device will be the default for boot. If diag-switch? is set to false, the device names in boot-device will be the default for boot.
