Connecting Consoles to the System Controller

This section contains the following topics:

■ “To Connect the Initial Administrative Console” on page 35

■ “To Connect the Administrative Console” on page 36

The system controller (SC) provides the Lights-Out Management (LOM) functions, which include power-on sequencing, executing module power-on self-tests (POST), environmental monitoring, fault indication, and alarms.

The LOM command-line interface, the Solaris console, and the OpenBoot™ PROM console are accessed by connecting an administrative console to either serial port A or the 10/100BASE-T LOM Ethernet port. The administrative console can be any external input device (laptop computer or workstation) connected to either of these ports.

34 Netra 1290 Server Installation Guide • May 2006

LOM Serial A port connects directly to an ASCII terminal or a network terminal server (NTS) using a command-line interface. This port is used for the initial administrative console. Use this port to modify the default system controller settings so that the 10/100BASE-T LOM Ethernet port can be used as an administrative console. The configuration of Serial port A cannot be changed. See Appendix A for details on the serial ports.

The 10/100BASE-T LOM Ethernet port is used to connect the system controller to the network. This port is preconfigured as follows:

■ System controller configured to be on a network

■ System controller Ethernet configured for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

(DHCP)

■ No preconfigured system controller Ethernet IP address, gateway, domain name

service (DNS) domain, or DNS servers

▼ To Connect the Initial Administrative Console

For the initial configuration, connect LOM Serial A port to the serial port on any of the following devices:

■ ASCII terminal

■ Sun workstation

■ Terminal server (or patch panel connected to a terminal server)

Note – If the IP address assigned to the 10/100BASE-T LOM Ethernet port by

DHCP is known, the 10/100BASE-T LOM Ethernet port can be accessed without the LOM Serial A port.

1. Connect the administrative console to the LOM Serial A port (

FIGURE 1-26).

The LOM Serial A port is a DTE (data terminal equipment) port. An adapter, crossover cable, or null modem cable is required to connect the LOM Serial A port to another DTE port. For LOM Serial A port connector pinouts and adaptor information, see “LOM Serial A and Serial B Ports” on page 59.

2. Turn the customer-supplied circuit breakers power switch to the On position.

3. Turn the system power switch to the On position.

Refer to the Netra 1290 Server System Administration Guide, 819-4374.

4. Set up the system console.

2. Connect the other end of the I/O Ethernet cable to the hub, workstation, or peripheral.

Installing Additional Hardware

Do not install additional hardware until the initial factory configuration has been completely installed, the server has been powered on, and POST has been completed successfully. This makes it easier to diagnose conflicts that might be caused by additional installations.

Caution – To avoid damaging boards when installing CPU/memory boards, refer

to the Netra 1290 Server Service Manual, 819-4373 for instructions.

Caution – During initial installation, turn off the power at the circuit breakers

before removing or replacing server hardware. Refer to the installation guide of the additional hardware for any further instructions.

Caution – For optimum performance, use only I/O cards and associated drivers

that are qualified by Sun Microsystems for use on the Netra 1290 server. It is possible for interactions to occur between cards and drivers on a specific bus that might lead to potential system panics or other negative outcomes if the card/driver solution is not qualified by Sun Microsystems.

For an updated listing of qualified I/O cards and configurations for the server, contact your Sun authorized sales representative or your service provider. For

Powering On the Server

When all the power cables are connected and the external circuit breakers are switched on, the server enters Standby mode. The Source A and Source B indicators are the only indicator LEDs to be illuminated on the system indicator board. The IB_SSC assembly Active LED is lit, but not visible from the front of the server.

Powering the server on from Standby mode can be achieved in either of two ways:

■ Operating the On/Standby switch

■ Sending the poweron command via the LOM port

The On/Standby switch of the Netra 1290 server controls only low voltage signals and no high voltage circuits pass through it.

Note – The power switch is not an On/Off switch, it is an On/Standby switch. It

does not isolate the equipment.

Once the server is powered on, if the auto-boot? variable has been set true in the OpenBoot PROM, the server will automatically boot into the Solaris Operating System.

▼ To Power On Using the On/Standby Switch

1. Check that power is applied to the server and that it is correctly in Standby mode.

2. Momentarily press the On/Standby switch to the right.

Chapter 2 Setting Up 41

The server powers on completely. The System Active indicator illuminates and the server executes the power-on self-test (POST).

▼ To Power On Using the LOM poweron

Command

● At the lom> prompt, type:

lom>poweron

The SC first powers on all the power supplies, followed by the fan tray. Finally the SC powers on the system boards. If the value of the OpenBoot PROM variable auto-boot? is true then the server also boots the Solaris Operating System.

Note – Individual modules can also be powered on using the poweron command.

For further details, see the Sun Fire Entry-Level Midrange System Controller Command Reference Manual, 819-1268.

The System Active indicator is lit. The server will execute the power-on self-tests (POST).

Note – The poweron all command only powers on individual components; it

does not boot the Solaris software.

See the Sun Fire Entry-Level Midrange System Controller Command Reference Manual, 819-1268 for a full description of the poweron command.

Bringing the Server to Standby Mode

Powering off the system to Standby mode can be achieved by three methods:

■ From the Solaris command line

■ From the LOM port

■ By the On/Standby switch

When the system powers off to Standby mode, the Source A and Source B indicators are the only indicator LEDs to be illuminated on the system indicator board. The IB_SSC assembly Active LED is lit, but not visible from the front of the server.

Caution – This abruptly brings the system to Standby mode, regardless of the

system state and might corrupt data on the hard drives.

Setting Up the Server

After powering on, you must set up your server using the SC setdate and setupnetwork commands described in this section.

This section contains the following topics:

■ “To Set the Date and Time” on page 44

■ “To Configure Network Parameters” on page 45

■ “To Install and Boot the Solaris Operating System” on page 46

▼ To Set the Date and Time

If your time zone area is using daylight or summer time, this is set automatically.

● Set the date, time, and time zone for the server by using the setdate command at

the LOM prompt.

The following example shows setting the time zone to Pacific Standard Time (PST) using the offset from Greenwich mean time (GMT), date, and time to Tuesday, April 20, 2004 at 18 hours 15 minutes and 10 seconds.

lom>setdate -t GMT-8 042018152004.10

If Solaris software is running, use the Solaris date command instead. For more information on the setdate command, see the Sun Fire Entry-Level

Midrange System Controller Command Reference Manual, 819-1268.

▼ To Set Up the Password

1. At the LOM prompt, type the SC password command.

44 Netra 1290 Server Installation Guide • May 2006

2. At the Enter new password prompt, type your password.

3. At the Enter new password again prompt, re-type your password.

lom>password Enter new password: Enter new password again: lom>

If your password has been lost or forgotten, contact Sun Service for assistance.

▼ To Configure Network Parameters

The Netra 1290 server can be administered from the SC LOM prompt and from the Solaris software. There are two ways to access the LOM console connection:

■ Through the SC serial port connection

■ Through a remote (network) connection using the 10/100BASE-T Ethernet port

Note – The system can be administered solely through the serial port, but if you

want to use the 10/100BASE-T Ethernet port, use a separate secure subnet for this connection. Remote connection capability is not enabled by default. If you use SSH or Telnet to administer the system, you must set the connection type to SSH or Telnet, using the setupnetwork command.

1. At the LOM prompt, type setupnetwork.

lom>setupnetwork

2. Answer the questions in the script.

Note – If you press the Return key after each question, the current value will not be

changed.

See the Sun Fire Entry-Level Midrange System Controller Command Reference Manual, 819-1268 for full details of the setupnetwork command.

Note – The warning messages concerning lomp, lomv, and lom driver attachment

seen during the installation of the SUWNlomr package can be safely ignored since the SUNWlomr package is not used on the Netra 1290 server. However, the presence of the package is required to enable successful upgrade through future patches.

Note – Do not mix different cards with different speeds within an IB6 leaf (two

paired slots), because leaf slots run at the lowest speed and the lowest mode for a given set of cards within a leaf. For example, if a 33 MHz PCI card is in slot 0 and a 66 MHz PCI card is in slot 1, then both slots on the leaf will run in the lower 33 MHz PCI mode. IB6 leafs are comprised of paired slots 0 and 1, 2 and 3, and 4 and 5. In addition, all slots will only run in PCI+ mode.

PCI+ IB_SSC assemblies provide six PCI+ slots labeled 0 through 5. When viewing the rear of the server, slot 0 is on the left and slot 5 is on the right. All six slots support up to 66 MHz. The PCI+ slots are not hot-swappable, all slots are half length and 5V signaling is not supported.
