If you are installing Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 on a newly created, existing, or crashed domain, start at “Setting up the SSP as a Boot Server” on page 14.

Creating Additional Domains

Domains other than the one created by the factory require software to be loaded on a bootable disk. The following instructions assume that you have an SSP window open.

Creating the eeprom.image File

You must have the system identification key and the host ID before you perform the following instructions. You can obtain the key and ID from your service provider. This key is used to generate an eeprom.image file.

1. Log in to the SSP as the ssp user.

2. When prompted for the SUNW_HOSTNAME variable, use either the platform name or the name of an existing domain.

3. Create the eeprom.image file:

ssp% sys_id -h hostid -k key \

-f $SSPVAR/.ssp_private/eeprom_save/eeprom.image.domain_name

Where hostid is the number provided with the key in the form of 0X80A66xxx, key is the EEPROM key number, and domain_name is the hostname of the domain.

Note – All key and host_id numbers are case sensitive and must be entered

exactly as they are received.

4. Execute the following sys_id command to check the results:

ssp% sys_id -d -f $SSPVAR/.ssp_private/eeprom_save/eeprom.image.domain_name

In the following example,

49933C54C64C858CD4CF is the key and 0x80a66e05 is the

hostid:

sys8ssp% sys_id -h 0x80a66e05 -k 49933C54C64C858CD4CF \

-f $SSPVAR/.ssp_private/eeprom_save/eeprom.image.domain_name

sys8ssp% sys_id -d -f $SSPVAR/.ssp_private/eeprom_save/eeprom.image.domain_name

IDPROM in eeprom.image.domain_name

Format = 0x01 Machine Type = 0x80 Ethernet Address = 0:0:be:a6:6e:5 Manufacturing Date = Wed Dec 31 16:00:00 1997 Serial number (machine ID) = 0xa66e05 Checksum = 0x3f

12 SMCC Hardware Platform Guide Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 • May 1998

5. Back up the SSP eeprom.image files to tape or disk where they can be accessed in case of an SSP boot-disk failure.

Creating a New Domain

This section contains instructions for creating a new domain.

1. Log in to the SSP as the ssp user.

The default password is ssp.

2. When prompted for the SUNW_HOSTNAME variable, specify the name of the domain that you wish to create.

Ensure that the domain name corresponds with the domain in which the operating system is to be installed. Currently, domain names cannot be longer than 14 characters.

3. Use the domain_create(1M) command to create the domain:

ssp% domain_create -d domain_name -b board_numbers -o OS_version -p platform_name

Where domain_name is the name of the domain used in Step 2, board_numbers is a list of all of the system boards to be included in the domain, OS_version is the version of the domain’s operating system, and platform_name is the name of the platform as defined during the SSP package configuration.

Refer to the Sun Enterprise 10000 SSP 3.1 User’s Guide for additional information.

4. Check the power to the domain:

ssp% power

5. If the domain is powered off, power on the domain:

ssp% power -on

Preparing the SSP for the Fresh-Install

This section contains instructions for preparing the SSP for the fresh-install. The SSP must be set up as an install server by configuring the domain network information, and the SSP must be set up as a boot server.

Chapter 2 Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 on the Sun Enterprise 10000 13

Configuring the Domain Network Information

1. Log in to the SSP as superuser.

2. Manually edit the /etc/hosts file to include the IP address of the new domain(s).

The correct entries would look similar to the following /etc/hosts sample:

129.153.49.185 tacos

127.0.0.1 localhost

129.153.49.179 snax-ssp vegetables loghost

129.153.49.181 snax-cb0

129.153.49.182 snax-cb1

129.153.49.180 pizza

129.153.49.183 chips

129.153.49.1 marvin-49

110.0.0.1 vegetables-priv

110.0.0.5 chips-priv

The /etc/hosts file is actually a link to ./inet/hosts.

Caution – If the new domain entry follows any other host or SSP entry, the

add_install_client command may not work in Step 4 in “Setting up the SSP as a Boot Server” on page 14.”

3. Manually edit the /etc/ethers file to include the Ethernet address of the new domain(s).

The correct entries would look similar to the following /etc/ethers sample:

8:0:20:87:58:a5 snax-ssp vegetables 0:0:be:01:00:1e snax-cb0 0:0:be:01:00:57 snax-cb1 0:0:be:a6:50:2f pizza 0:0:be:a6:6f:19 chips-priv 0:0:be:a6:6f:23 nachos 0:0:be:a6:6f:2a tacos

Setting up the SSP as a Boot Server

Perform these instructions for each domain on which the Solaris operating environment will be installed.

14 SMCC Hardware Platform Guide Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 • May 1998

1. Insert the Solaris CD disk.

After inserting the CD, wait about one minute for the Volume Manager to mount the CD-ROM.

2. Log in to the SSP as superuser if you skipped the previous section.

3. Change to the Tools directory:

ssp# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/s0/Solaris_2.6/Tools

4. Set up the host domain as an install client:

ssp# ./add_install_client domain_name sun4u1

5. Exit the superuser level.

Installing Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98

If a domain’s boot disk has crashed and suitable backup files do not exist or if the disk partition is to be changed, you must perform the instructions in this section. These instructions assume that you have an SSP window open.

You can use these instructions to upgrade the Solaris operating environment without saving any previous files. For upgrades that preserve existing files and disk partitions, see “Performing an Upgrade” on page 31.

During the installation, you will use the suninstall utility, which has its own instructions. The following instructions are Enterprise 10000-specific. For more information about the suninstall utility, refer to the Installation Instructions for Solaris 2.6 (SPARC Platform Edition) AnswerBook .

1. Ensure that SUNW_HOSTNAME is set to the proper domain name.

If the SUNW_HOSTNAME variable is not set to the proper domain name, use the domain_switch(1M) command, as in the following example.

ssp% domain_switch domain_name

Chapter 2 Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 on the Sun Enterprise 10000 15

2. Check for blacklisted components.

If SBus boards have been newly added to a system board, confirm that the processors on those system boards are not blacklisted. Processors are blacklisted at the factory when a system board does not have any SBus cards installed.

During the bring-up process, observe the list of blacklisted components. Alternatively, to retrieve the blacklist file, refer to the blacklist(1M) man page.

Blacklisted processors will need to be removed from the blacklist prior to creating a domain that would include those processors.

For instance, you want to create a domain using system boards 14 and 15. Each board in this domain will have an SBus SOC (disk) and hme (network) controller. However, when you check the blacklist at $SSPVAR/etc/starfire1/blacklist, you discover that system boards 14 and 15 have processors on the blacklist, as in the following example.

ssp% more $SSPVAR/etc/starfire1/blacklist pc 2.2 3.2 5.2 6.2 7.2 10.2 11.2 12.2 13.2 14.2 15.2

To remove the processors on system boards 14 and 15 from the blacklist, edit the

$SSPVAR/etc/starfire1/blacklist file and remove 14.2 and 15.2 from the pc line.

3. Bring up the domain:

ssp% bringup -A off

If this is the first domain to be brought up, you will be prompted to configure the centerplane. Type

This bringup will configure the Centerplane. Please confirm (y/n)? y

y to confirm.

After a few minutes the SSP prompt is displayed.

4. In an SSP window, open a netcon(1M) session:

ssp% netcon

After a few minutes the ok prompt is displayed.

16 SMCC Hardware Platform Guide Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 • May 1998

5. Check for duplicate devaliases entries in OBP.

The suninstall utility may not work properly if you have defined duplicate devaliases in OBP. Use the devalias command to check the aliases. The output

may resemble the following example.

ok devalias net /sbus@41,0/qec@0,20000/qe@1,0 ttya /ssp-serial ssa_b_example /sbus@40,0/SUNW,soc@0,0/SUNW,pln@b0000000,XXXXXX/SUNW,ssd@0,0:a ssa_a_example /sbus@40,0/SUNW,soc@0,0/SUNW,pln@a0000000,XXXXXX/SUNW,ssd@0,0:a isp_example /sbus@40,0/QLGC,isp@0,10000/sd@0,0 net_example /sbus@40,0/qec@0,20000/qe@0,0 net /sbus@41,0/qec@0,20000/qe@0,0 ok

Note – If any devaliases are defined twice (“net” is defined twice in the above

example), you should remove the extra devalias entries.

6. If any duplicate entries exist in the devalias file, remove them.

The following example removes the last created net devalias. You may have to issue a second nvunalias command if the second net alias is the incorrect one. Then issue an nvalias command to create the correct net device alias.

ok nvunalias net

Chapter 2 Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 on the Sun Enterprise 10000 17

7. If an alias does not exist for the network interface that is on the same subnet as the SSP, you can create one by typing a command similar to the following example:

ok nvalias net /sbus@41,0/SUNW,hme@0,8c00000

Where /sbus@41,0 refers to system board 0 and SBus 1. The /SUNW,hme@0 portion of the device name defines a 100 Base-T network interface installed in Slot 0. Your configuration will vary.

TABLE 2-1 contains the SBus numbers that are used in the devalias file.

TABLE2-1 SBus Numbers in the devalias File

system board sysio 0 sysio 1 system board sysio 0 sysio 1

0 /sbus@40 /sbus@41 8 /sbus@60 /sbus@61 1 /sbus@44 /sbus@45 9 /sbus@64 /sbus@65 2 /sbus@48 /sbus@49 10 /sbus@68 /sbus@69 3 /sbus@4c /sbus@4d 11 /sbus@6c /sbus@6d 4 /sbus@50 /sbus@51 12 /sbus@70 /sbus@71 5 /sbus@54 /sbus@55 13 /sbus@74 /sbus@75 6 /sbus@58 /sbus@59 14 /sbus@78 /sbus@79 7 /sbus@5c /sbus@5d 15 /sbus@7c /sbus@7d

The OBP command watch-net-all displays the functioning network interfaces.

Caution – The next step starts the suninstall utility. During the installation, you

will be asked to specify the device name of the boot disk. Do not begin the installation until you have the device name.

8. In the netcon(1M) window, boot the system from the network:

ok boot net

18 SMCC Hardware Platform Guide Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 • May 1998

Note – You should have an alias (usually net) in OBP for the proper network

interface. Use that alias with the boot(1M) command, as shown in the example above. Otherwise, you must type in a very long path. If you specify an alias (or path) that does not describe the proper network interface, the boot(1M) command will fail.

If you chose to install the operating system on a drive other than the one designated as the bootdrive, the suninstall utility displays a warning message similar to the following:

Warning You have an invalid disk configuration because of the condition(s) displayed in the window below. Errors should be fixed to ensure a successful installation. Warnings can be ignored without causing the installation to fail.

> To go back and fix errors or warnings, select Cancel. > To accept the error conditions or warnings and continue with the installation, select Continue.

WARNING: The boot disk is not selected or does not have a “/” mount point (c0t3d0)

You can safely ignore this warning and press F2 to continue. The boot net command starts the suninstall

utility. This utility prompts you to

provide site and platform-specific information. Refer to the following table for the platform-specific information you may need to supply. If you have questions about the suninstall utility, refer to the Installation Instructions for Solaris 2.6 (SPARC Platform Edition) in your media kit.

Configuring the Solaris Operating Environment

1. After the operating system is loaded and the superuser prompt is displayed, list the devices entry for your boot disk:

# ls -l /dev/dsk/root_partition_device

where

root_partition_device is in the form cxtxdxsx.

2. Copy the part of the string that begins with either /sbus or /pci.

Example: /sbus@65,0/SUNW,fas@1,8800000/sd@3,0:a. Record your string here:

3. Shutdown the domain from the netcon(1M) window:

# init 0

4. In the netcon(1M) window, assign the string to an alias:

ok nvalias bootdisk_name /sbus@48,0/SUNW,soc@0,0/SUNW,pln@a0000000,78ca3b/ssd@0,0:a

From Step 2

As in this example, the nvalias command should be entered on a single line.

5. Set up the default boot device:

ok setenv boot-device bootdisk_name

6. In an SSP window, verify that the SUNW_HOSTNAME variable is set to the proper domain name.

If SUNW_HOSTNAME is not set to the proper domain name, use domain_switch(1M) to change the value.

24 SMCC Hardware Platform Guide Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 • May 1998

7. Bring up the domain:

ssp% bringup -A on

If this is the first domain to be brought up, you will be prompted to configure the centerplane. Type

y to confirm.

This bringup will configure the Centerplane. Please confirm (y/n)? y

8. Change to the Tools directory:

ssp# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/s0/Solaris_2.6/Tools

9. Remove the host domain as an install client:

ssp# ./rm_install_client domain_name

10. Remove the Solaris CD from the CD-ROM drive:

ssp# cd / ssp# unshare /cdrom/cdrom0/s0 ssp# eject cdrom

11. When the system reboots, from the netcon(1M) window, type the superuser password then re-enter the superuser password when prompted:

Root password: password Please re-enter your root password: password

Your entry will become the new superuser ( root) password for the domain.

12. Respond to the prompts for Solaris configuration information.

You may be asked for the following items:

■ Name service (such as none, NIS, NIS+)

■ Net domain name (answer yes to subnet question)

■ Net domain mask

■ Server selection (usually automatic)

■ Timezone

■ Time

Chapter 2 Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 on the Sun Enterprise 10000 25

13. Enter the hostname and IP address of the SSP.

The ssp-config command displays a possible default hostname of the SSP. If it is correct, press Return. Otherwise, type the correct SSP hostname:

Please enter hostname of SSP for Enterprise 10000_host [name-ssp]: namessp

The ssp-config command automatically tries to determine the IP address of the SSP. If it can, it prompts you to verify it; otherwise, it prompts you to enter it.

14. Verify or type the IP address of the SSP:

SSP Host Name: ssp_hostname SSP IP Address: nnn.nnn.nn.nn

Is this correct (y or n): y

15. Enable savecore by editing the /etc/init.d/sysetup file to uncomment the savecore setup.

Installing the SMCC Supplement Software Packages

You should install the supplement packages as needed from the SMCC Supplement CD.

1. Insert the SMCC Supplement CD.

2. Change to the SSP patches directory and install the SSP 3.1 libdr patch.

ssp# cd /cdrom/supp_sol_2_6_598_smcc/Patches/105682-03 ssp# ./installpatch .

3. Log in as superuser on the SSP and share the CD-ROM:

ssp# share -F nfs -o ro /cdrom/cdrom0

4. Log in as superuser in the netcon(1M) window.

13. Reboot the domain by using the reboot(1M) command.

Licensing Your Software

The Enterprise 10000's domain feature requires different approaches to software licensing when compared to systems that cannot be logically partitioned.

FLEXlm-Based Licensing

License management (the license server) is normally tied to a machine host ID. On an Enterprise 10000 system, the license server is tied to the domain host ID. Each domain receives its own domain host ID.

Therefore, if licensing is installed on an Enterprise 10000 system, it must be installed in a domain that will not be removed. Adding or removing processors from the domain will not affect licensing, as long as the domain always has at least one active processor.

If licensing ever needs to be moved from one domain to another, the licenses will need to be regenerated using the new domain host ID. This is identical to the situation when moving the license server from one machine to another. This process is called a server move; contact the Sun License Center to request a server move.

Chapter 2 Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 on the Sun Enterprise 10000 29

For more licensing information, use the following Sun License Center URL:

■ http://www.sun.com/licensing

To obtain the Enterprise 10000 system domain host ID, type hostid in a shell window.

SunSoft Software Licensing

The specific SunSoft™ software package being installed provides SunSoft's suggestions on how to go about licensing software on the Enterprise 10000 system. However, every software package within SunSoft is unique with respect to the business terms of their software licensing policy on the Enterprise 10000 system. Each SunSoft software product should have its licensing policy in the price book. If you are unsure how to license SunSoft software, contact the SunSoft product manager for that product directly.

SMCC Storage Management Software Licensing

If you have software licensing issues with storage management software products contact the product manager. These products include Veritas Volume Manager, Veritas Filesystem, and Sun Enterprise Netbackup.

Third-Party Software Licensing

Third-party software vendors also have unique software licensing policies on the Enterprise 10000 system. All major independent service providers have been notified and should have software policies in place. For additional information, contact your service provider.

30 SMCC Hardware Platform Guide Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 • May 1998

Performing an Upgrade

This section includes upgrade instructions for Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 on a host domain. These upgrade instructions are intended only for the Sun Enterprise 10000 server.

Note – You should read this entire section before you attempt to upgrade the

domain. The beginning sections contain important information for getting ready to upgrade the domain.

These procedures explain how to upgrade the operating system while preserving existing data and file structures. To install the Solaris operating environment without preserving existing files and disk partitions, see “Performing a Fresh-Install” on page 11.

Caution – If you are installing Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 on an Enterprise 10000

domain, the SSP must be running SSP 3.1. SSP 3.0 does not support Solaris 2.6. Please refer to your SSP Media Kit for instructions on how to install the SSP software.

Backing Up Your Domain

Always back up an existing domain before you use the upgrade option in the suninstall utility. The safest backup to perform is a level 0 dump of all of the file systems connected to the domain being upgraded. If you do not have an established backup procedure, see the System Administration Guide.

Caution – In Solaris 2.5 and later, the kernel resides in /platform/arch/kernel/

unix, not in /kernel/unix. If you override the boot file location by explicitly

setting it to /kernel/unix, you can successfully install the Solaris software, but you will not be able to boot the domain.

Using the Upgrade Option

The Upgrade option in the suninstall utility determines how the Solaris software is copied to the disk. It merges the new version of the Solaris software with the existing files on the domain’s disk, saving as many local modifications as possible.

Chapter 2 Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 on the Sun Enterprise 10000 31

Note – The upgrade option may require deleting software packages if the disk is

full; this requires knowledge of packages and dependencies.

Upgrading Installed Patches

You do not need to back out installed patches before you perform the upgrade.

Checking Other Software Documentation

Check the documentation of other software you are running, such as any disk volume managers, before you use the upgrade option. There may be additional instructions you need to follow to preserve existing configurations.

Upgrading Important Files

The following files must be present on stand-alone systems, servers, and each diskless client being upgraded:

■ /var/sadm/softinfo/INST_RELEASE

■ /var/sadm/install/contents

■ /var/sadm/system/admin/.clustertoc

■ /var/sadm/system/admin/CLUSTER

32 SMCC Hardware Platform Guide Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 • May 1998

Preserving Local Modifications

During an upgrade, the suninstall utility attempts to preserve local modifications to the server whenever possible; however, sometimes local modifications can make an upgrade fail or perform differently than you would expect. tasks you should perform before you upgrade the domain.

TABLE2-7 Upgrading Tasks

For example, if /usr/openwin is a symbolic link to

/export/openwin

change the symbolic link to

../export/openwin

Remove packages (by using Software Manager or the pkgrm(1M) command) that will create files or directories currently automounted.

In the /etc/vfstab file, comment out file systems that you do not want mounted during the upgrade.

During an upgrade, the suninstall utility cannot reference symbolic links that use absolute paths because the Solaris installation program mounts the root (/) file system at /a. For example, a symbolic link to /export/openwin would fail because during an upgrade, /export/openwin is really /a/export/openwin.

the suninstall utility cannot reference a

When symbolic link, it will overwrite the symbolic link and install the software (the installation program doesn’t think the software exists). As a result, duplicate software will be installed, and the upgrade may fail because of insufficient disk space.

The automounter is not active during an upgrade, so the suninstall utility installs any package’s files or directories that are symbolic links to automounted file systems. If a symbolic link is overwritten, the upgrade may fail because of insufficient disk space.

(If you cannot remove a package, you can replace the symbolic link after the upgrade is completed.)

Note: The /var/mail and /var/news directories, which usually reside on an automounted file system, are not affected by an upgrade.

During an upgrade, the suninstall utility attempts to mount all of the file systems listed in the /etc/vfstab file on the root file system being upgraded. If the Solaris installation program cannot mount a file system, it reports the failure and exits.

Chapter 2 Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 on the Sun Enterprise 10000 33

Preparing the SSP for the Upgrade

This section contains instructions for preparing the SSP for the upgrade. For existing systems, the SSP should already be configured as an install server; therefore, you will only check to ensure that the information is correct. The SSP must also be set up as a boot server for all Enterprise 10000 domains.

Checking the Domain Network Information

For existing machines, the SSP should already be configured as an install server; however, to ensure that the information is correct, perform the following steps.

1. Log in to the SSP as superuser.

2. Ensure that the Enterprise 10000 host name and host-name IP address are correct in the /etc/hosts file.

3. Ensure that the Enterprise 10000 host name and Ethernet address are correct in the /etc/ethers file.

Setting up the SSP as a Boot Server

Perform this procedure for each domain on which the Solaris operating environment will be loaded.

1. Insert the Solaris CD disk.

The Volume Manager takes about one minute to mount the CD-ROM.

2. Log in to the SSP as superuser if you skipped the previous section.

3. Change to the Tools directory:

ssp# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/s0/Solaris_2.6/Tools

4. Set up the host domain as an install client:

ssp# ./add_install_client domain_name sun4u1

5. Exit the superuser level.

34 SMCC Hardware Platform Guide Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 • May 1998

Preparing the Domain

The section contains instructions for preparing the domain to be upgraded to Solaris

2.6 Hardware: 5/98. You must perform the following instructions before you attempt the upgrade.

1. Log in to each domain as superuser and backup the domain.

Using ufsdump(1M), backup all operating-system file systems.

2. Comment out all file systems in the /etc/vfstab file except /, /usr, /export,/var, /opt, /proc, /dev/fd, /tmp, and swap.

Note – AP 2.0 is not supported by Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98; therefore, if you have

AP 2.0 installed, but you are not upgrading to AP 2.1, you must convert all of the AP metadevices to physical devices. Refer to the Sun Enterprise Server Alternate Pathing User’s Guide for more information on how to convert metadevices.

3. Comment out all swap partitions that are not on the same controller as the root disk.

During an upgrade, the suninstall utility attempts to mount all file systems listed in the /etc/vfstab file on the root file system being upgraded. If the suninstall utility cannot mount a file system, it reports the failure and exits.

4. If any file systems shown in the /etc/vfstab file are metadevices (for example, mirrored, striped, concatenated) for Solstice DiskSuite, Veritas, or Alternate Pathing and have not already been commented out, reconfigure them as nonmetadevices for the upgrade.

This step is necessary because the suninstall utility cannot handle metadevices. For more information about these products, refer to their respective user’s guides.

Caution – Make certain that all metadevices are commented out. If any are not, the

upgrade will fail.

5. Save all of the information regarding pathgroups (for example, apconfig -S and apconfig -N) for later retrieval.

6. Convert any metanetwork to a physical network device.

7. Use the apboot(1M) command to convert the AP boot device to a physical device.

8. Reboot the domain:

domain_name# init 6

Chapter 2 Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 on the Sun Enterprise 10000 35

9. Remove all of the AP databases.

10. Kill the ap_daemon process.

11. Remove all of the AP packages from the domain by using the pkgrm(1M) command.

You should remove the following packages from the domain:

■ SUNWapu

■ SUNWapr

■ SUNWapdoc

12. Remove the SUNWxntp packages by using the pkgrm(1M) command.

13. Shut down the domain before you begin the upgrade:

# cd / # lockfs -fa # shutdown -i0 -g60 -y

1. The lockfs -fa command is unnecessary when running 2.5.1 kernel update 103640-12, or later.

14. Log in to the SSP as superuser and remove the SUNWapssp package by using the pkgrm(1M) command.

Upgrading the Solaris Operating Environment

The steps that follow modify the suninstall procedures. For more information, refer to Installation Instructions for Solaris 2.6 (SPARC Platform Edition) AnswerBook.

1. In an SSP window, ensure that the SUNW_HOSTNAME variable is set to the proper domain name.

If the variable does not have the correct value, use the domain_switch(1M) command to set the variable to the proper value.

36 SMCC Hardware Platform Guide Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 • May 1998

2. Bring up the domain:

ssp% bringup -A off

If this is the first domain to be brought up, you will be prompted to configure the centerplane. Type

This bringup will configure the Centerplane. Please confirm (y/n)? y

y to confirm:

After a few minutes the SSP prompt is displayed.

3. At the ssp prompt, open a netcon(1M) session:

ssp% netcon

After a few minutes the ok prompt is displayed.

4. Check for duplicate devalias entries in OBP.

The suninstall utility may not work properly if you have defined duplicate devaliases in OBP. Use the devalias command to check the aliases. The output may resemble the following example.

Note – If any devaliases are defined twice (for example, “net” is defined twice in

the above example), you should remove the extra devalias entries.

Chapter 2 Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 on the Sun Enterprise 10000 37

5. If any duplicate entries exist in the devalias file, remove them.

ok nvunalias net

6. If an alias does not exist for the network interface that is on the same subnet as the SSP, you can create one by typing a command similar to the following example:

ok nvalias net /sbus@41,0/SUNW,hme@0,8c00000

Where /sbus@41,0 refers to system board 0 and SBus 1. The /SUNW,hme@0 portion of the device name defines a 100 Base-T network interface installed in Slot 0. Your configuration will vary.

TABLE 2-8 contains the SBus numbers that are used in the devalias file.

TABLE2-8 Sbus Numbers in the devalias File

system board sysio 0 sysio 1 system board sysio 0 sysio 1

The OBP command watch-net-all displays the functioning network interfaces.

Caution – The next step starts the suninstall utility. During the installation, you

will be asked to specify the device name of the boot disk. Do not begin the installation until you have the device name.

38 SMCC Hardware Platform Guide Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 • May 1998

7. In the netcon(1M) window, boot the system from the network:

ok boot net

Note – You should have an alias (usually net) in OBP for the proper network

The boot net command starts the suninstall

utility. This utility prompts you to

provide site and platform-specific information. Refer to the following table for the platform-specific information you may need to supply. If you have questions about the suninstall utility, please refer to the Installation Instructions for Solaris 2.6 (SPARC Platform Edition) in your media kit.

choose a drive other than the one designated as the bootdrive, a warning message appears later in the installation process. At that point, you can choose whether to continue, or not.

Press F4 if file systems are to be mounted from a remote file server. Press F2 if they are not.

Select manual reboot and press F2 to begin the installation. This step, which installs the software and the patches on the Solaris release CD, takes many minutes to complete. When the installation is complete, the suninstall utility does not reboot the domain if you select manual reboot. The Enterprise 10000 host displays the superuser prompt in the netcon(1M) window. Do not use the reboot(1M) command to shut down the domain.

Chapter 2 Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 on the Sun Enterprise 10000 39

8. Shutdown the domain from the superuser prompt:

# init 0

9. Remove the Solaris 2.x domain you just upgraded:

ssp% domain_remove -d domain_name

Answer

y when prompted to save the directories.

10. Re-create the domain with the new OS version number:

ssp% domain_create -d domain_name -o 2.6

11. Bring up the domain:

ssp% bringup -A on

Note – This step assumes that you are upgrading the boot disk that is defined in the

boot-device OBP variable. If you are upgrading a different boot disk, you must supply the device’s alias as an argument to the command.

12. Change to the Tools directory:

ssp# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/s0/Solaris_2.6/Tools

13. Remove the host domain as an install client:

ssp# ./rm_install_client domain_name

14. If you are done with the upgrade, remove the Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 CD:

ssp# cd / ssp# unshare /cdrom/cdrom0/s0 ssp# eject cdrom

40 SMCC Hardware Platform Guide Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 • May 1998

Upgrading the SMCC Supplement Packages

You should upgrade any supplement packages your system needs from the SMCC Supplement CD at this point in the upgrade process.

1. Insert the SMCC Supplement CD.

2. Change to the SSP patches directory and install the SSP 3.1 libdr patch.

ssp# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/Patches/105682-03 ssp# ./installpatch .

3. Log in to the SSP as superuser and share the CD-ROM:

ssp# share -F nfs -o ro,anon=0 /cdrom/cdrom0

4. Mount the /cdrom directory and add the SMCC packages:

# mkdir /cdrom [if it does not already exist] # mount ssp_name:/cdrom/cdrom0 /cdrom # cd /cdrom/Product # pkgadd -d . SUNWuesab SUNWehea SUNWeman SUNWabhdw

Note – Perform this step only for those domains in which you want to use the

AnswerBook files, the Enterprise 10000 header files, and the man pages.

In Solaris 2.6, the SUNWxntp package is replaced by the SUNWntp package, which is installed by the suninstall utility.

Chapter 2 Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 on the Sun Enterprise 10000 41

This will install the following packages (

Installing Solaris with the SPARCstorage Array

This chapter describes how to install Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 software either as a new installation or as an upgrade on systems where the SPARCstorage Array may be used as the boot device.

Note – The installation instructions in this chapter are specific to systems

configured with SPARCstorage Arrays.

Caution – The following installation instructions should be performed by an

experienced system administrator. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in a loss of data stored on your disks.

Disk Management Software

Caution – If you are currently running Disk Management Software on your system,

refer to your Disk Management Software documentation before proceeding with these instructions or you may lose the data on your disks.

SPARCstorage Array Firmware

In the installation and upgrade scenarios below, you will be instructed to check, and if necessary, upgrade the firmware for your SPARCstorage Array(s).

This Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 software contains SPARCstorage Array firmware revision level 3.12, which is the latest version of firmware for all SPARCstorage Array models (100 and 200 series).

If your SPARCstorage Array(s) has a firmware revision level below 3.12, you must upgrade the firmware revision level to 3.12 as instructed.

If the firmware revision level on your SPARCstorage Array(s) is at a revision level of

3.12 or higher, you do not need to upgrade your firmware.

Installation and Upgrade Scenarios

This chapter is divided into several installation and upgrade scenarios. Refer to Table 2-1 to select the installation or upgrade method that describes your current situation.

Note – Read through the entire scenario before performing any installation or

upgrade. A thorough comprehension of the material is necessary to ensure a successful installation

Scenario1: NewInstallation ofSolaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 on Systems Booting from the SPARCstorage Array Disk

Using the FC/S SBus Card

If the disk that you intend to use as your boot device is on a SPARCstorage Array that is connected to the system through an FC/S SBus card, note that the FC/S SBus card FCode revision level must be at 1.33 or higher to allow booting.

The following FC/S SBus cards are configured from the factory with an FCode revision level of 1.33 or higher:

■ 501-2069-07 or higher

■ 501-2553-03 or higher

To check the FCode revision level of your FC/S SBus card, refer to “Checking the FCode Level of Your FC/S SBus Card” on page 50.

Using the Onboard FC Ports

If the SPARCstorage Array is connected to the system through an onboard FC port, it is not necessary to check the FCode revision level; these systems come configured from the factory with the minimum FCode revision level to allow booting.

Chapter 3 Installing Solaris with the SPARCstorage Array 47

Installing Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 on a SPARCstorage Array Disk

1. Install the Solaris software environment with the no reboot option.

Refer to Chapter 1, “Installing Software from the Solaris CD” and the SPARC: Installing Solaris Software manual for more information.

Note – Keep track of which disk you select as your boot device as you will need this

information to set your boot path.

Caution – Do not select the system to reboot at the end of the Solaris installation

setup.

2. Determine which level of SPARCstorage Array firmware is in each SPARCstorage Array. Type:

# ssaadm display controller

where controller is the logical controller name of the SPARCstorage Array (for example, c1). Look for the line that gives the firmware revision information, similar to the following:

Firmware Rev: 3.12

3. If the firmware revision is lower than 3.12, download the new firmware. Type:

# ssaadm download -f /usr/lib/firmware/ssa/ssafirmware controller

4. Set your boot device. Type:

# ssaadm set_boot_dev <boot device pathname>

Where device in step 1. This command is interactive and requires user confirmation before setting the boot path. This command sets the OBP environmental variable boot device to the path of the device you selected as the boot device. It is recommended that you create an OBP devalias to keep track of the boot path in case of accidental loss.

48 SMCC Hardware Platform Guide Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 • May 1998

<boot device pathname> is the path to the device you selected as your boot

5. If you need to upgrade your FCode, use the ssaadm command:

# ssaadm fc_download

6. Halt the system. Type:

# /usr/sbin/init 0

7. If you downloaded new firmware, press the SYS OK button on the back of the SPARCstorage Array(s) to reset.

Note – Before booting your system, wait for the SPARCstorage Array to complete

POST.

8. Reset and boot your system.

Note – You have completed the new installation of Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98. If

you would like to install Disk Management Software, refer to your Disk Management Software documentation.

Trouble Booting?

If your system does not boot, check that:

■ Your boot-device environmental variable is correctly set to your boot device.

■ The FCode revision level is at 1.33 or higher if you are attempting to boot through

an FC/S SBus Card. To check the FCode revision level, refer to “Checking the FCode Level of Your FC/S SBus Card” on page 50.

Chapter 3 Installing Solaris with the SPARCstorage Array 49

Checking the FCode Level of Your FC/S SBus Card

1. Determine your FCode level. Type the following at the ok prompt:

ok setenv fcode-debug? true ok reset ok show-devs

When you type the show-devs command, you should see output similar to this:

. . . /iommu@0,10000000/sbus@0,10001000/le@1,c00000 /iommu@0,10000000/sbus@0,10001000/SUNW,soc@0,0 /iommu@0,10000000/sbus@0,10001000/ledma@4,8400010 /iommu@0,10000000/sbus@0,10001000/SUNW,bpp@4,c800000 /iommu@0,10000000/sbus@0,10001000/espdma@4,8400000 /iommu@0,10000000/sbus@0,10001000/SUNW,DBRIe@2,10000/mmcodec /iommu@0,10000000/sbus@0,10001000/SUNW,soc@0,0/SUNW,pln@a0000800,201cac11 /iommu@0,10000000/sbus@0,10001000/SUNW,soc@0,0/SUNW,pln@a0000800,201cac11/SUNW,ssd

2. Look at the output from the show-devs command and find the lines for the FC/S card(s) that is attached to the SPARCstorage Array that you wish to boot from.

The output for an FC/S card will be the lines containing soc@x,x similar to:

/iommu@0,10000000/sbus@0,10001000/SUNW,soc@0,0 /iommu@0,10000000/sbus@0,10001000/SUNW,soc@0,0/SUNW,pln@a0000800,201cac11 /iommu@0,10000000/sbus@0,10001000/SUNW,soc@0,0/SUNW,pln@a0000800,201cac11 SUNW,ssd

50 SMCC Hardware Platform Guide Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 • May 1998

3. To determine which version of FCode is in the FC/S card, type:

ok cd short_path ok sccsid type

1.33 95/04/19 ok device-end

where short_path is the shortest line containing soc@x,x from the output. Using the previous output as an example, you would enter:

ok cd /iommu@0,10000000/sbus@0,10001000/SUNW,soc@0,0 ok sccsid type

1.33 95/04/19 ok device-end

If the FCode version is not at 1.33 or higher you must upgrade to the minimum FCode level.

Note – You can upgrade your FCode after installing the Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98

software.

The following part numbers refer to the FC/S SBus Cards that contain the minimum FCode revision level to allow booting:

■ 501-2069-07 or higher

■ 501-2553-03 or higher

CHAPTER

Alternate Pathing 2.1 on Sun Enterprise Servers

This chapter includes fresh-install and upgrade instructions for Alternate Pathing

2.1. The fresh-install instructions are intended for all Sun Enterprise servers. The upgrade instructions are intended only for the Sun Enterprise 10000 servers.

Performing a Fresh-Install

The instructions in this section apply to all Sun Enterprise servers; however, because the Enterprise 6x00, 5x00, 4x00, and 3x00 servers do not have an SSP, as the Enterprise 10000 does, some of the steps are platform-specific. For those steps, the platform name appears at the beginning of the step. You should perform only those steps that pertain to your platform and skip those steps that pertain to other platforms. Steps without platform names pertain to all Enterprise servers.

The AP 2.1 release includes one package that must be installed on the SSP if you have an Enterprise 10000 and a set of core packages that must be installed on each Sun Enterprise 10000 domain or on the Enterprise 6x00, 5x00, 4x00, or 3x00 server.

The Sun Enterprise 10000 can have up to eight domains, each of which have a different domain name. The Sun Enterprise 6x00, 5x00, 4x00, and 3x00 servers do not have domains. These machines use server names. In the following instructions, references to Enterprise 10000 domains are equivalent to references to Enterprise 6x00, 5x00, 4x00, and 3x00 servers.

Note – The installation instructions in this section assume that you have already

installed Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98.

Installation of the packages on the enclosed CD-ROM requires approximately

2.7-Mbytes of disk space on the host domain for the full installation and 37-Kbytes on the SSP. The following table lists the total size of the AP software by file system:

TABLE4-1 AP Software File-System Sizes

File System Size

Host:

/opt 1.23-Mbytes /usr 158-Kbytes / 1.3-Mbytes

SSP: /opt 37-Kbytes

Perform the following steps to install a fresh copy of AP 2.1.

1. Log on as superuser. a. For Enterprise 6x00, 5x00, 4x00, and 3x00 servers, log in to the server as

superuser.

b. For Enterprise 10000 servers, log in as superuser on the SSP.

2. Insert the SMCC Supplements CD into the CD-ROM drive if it is not already in the drive.

a. For Enterprise 6x00, 5x00, 4x00, and 3x00 servers, the CD drive is connected to

the server.

b. For Enterprise 10000 servers, the CD drive is connected to the SSP.

Volume Manager takes about one minute to mount the CD.

3. For Enterprise 10000 servers, change to the AP 2.1 directory and execute the

pkgadd(1M) command to add the AP SSP package onto the SSP.

ssp# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/Product ssp# pkgadd -d . SUNWapssp

4. Start the ap_ssp_daemon:

ssp# init q

58 SMCC Hardware Platform Guide Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 • May 1998

5. For Enterprise 10000 servers, execute the following share command on the SSP to make the CD-ROM usable across the net:

ssp# share -o ro,anon=0 -F nfs /cdrom/cdrom0

6. For Enterprise 10000 servers, log in as superuser on the domain.

7. For Enterprise 10000 servers, create and mount the /cdrom directory:

domain_name# mkdir /cdrom [if it does not already exist] domain_name# mount ssp_hostname:/cdrom/cdrom0 /cdrom

8. Install the AP 2.1 host packages on the domain. a. For Enterprise 10000 servers, use the /cdrom mount point:

domain_name# pkgadd -d /cdrom/Product . SUNWapdoc SUNWapu SUNWapr

b. For Enterprise 6x00, 5x00, 4x00, and 3x00 servers, use the /cdrom0 mount point:

# pkgadd -d /cdrom/cdrom0/Product . SUNWapdoc SUNWapu SUNWapr

The software briefly displays copyright, trademark, and license information for each package, then messages about pkgadd(1M) actions taken to install the package, including a list of the files and directories being installed. Depending on your configuration, you may see the following message:

This package contains scripts which will be executed with superuser permission during the process of installing this package.

Do you want to continue with the installation of this package [y,n,?]

a. If so, type y to continue.

When this portion of the installation is complete, the AP 2.1 packages have been installed and the superuser prompt is displayed.

9. Reboot the machine.

Chapter 4 Alternate Pathing 2.1 on Sun Enterprise Servers 59

Performing an Upgrade

This section includes upgrade instructions for Alternate Pathing 2.1 on the SSP and on a domain. The upgrade instructions are intended only for the Sun Enterprise 10000 server. The upgrade process involves removing AP 2.0 on the SSP and on each host domain, if they have not already been removed, and installing one AP 2.1 package on the SSP and a set of core AP 2.1 packages on each domain.

Note – You should read this entire section before you attempt to upgrade the SSP

and host domain. The beginning sections contain important information for getting ready to upgrade a host domain.

The instructions in this section assume you have already upgraded the Solaris operating environment to Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98. They also assume that you have already prepared the domain for the upgrade. If not, refer to “Preparing the Domain” on page 35.

Caution – AP 2.0 is not supported by Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98; therefore, if you

are not upgrading to AP 2.1, you must not only remove all of the AP 2.0 packages, but you must also convert all of the metadevices to physical devices. Refer to the Sun Enterprise Server Alternate Pathing User’s Guide for more information on how to convert the metadevices.

Installation of the packages on the enclosed CD-ROM requires approximately

2.7-Mbytes of disk space on the host domain for the full installation and 37-Kbytes on the SSP. The following table lists the total size of the AP software by file system:

TABLE4-2 AP Software File-System Sizes

60 SMCC Hardware Platform Guide Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 • May 1998

1. Log in as superuser on the SSP.

2. If you have not already removed the SUNWapssp package, remove it now by using the pkgrm(1M) command.

3. If needed, insert the SMCC Supplements CD into the CD-ROM drive connected to the SSP.

Volume Manager takes about one minute to mount the CD.

4. Change to the AP 2.1 directory and execute the pkgadd(1M) command.

ssp# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/Product ssp# pkgadd -d . SUNWapssp

5. Start the ap_ssp_daemon:

ssp# init q

6. If needed, execute the following share command on the SSP to make the CDROM usable across the net:

ssp# share -o ro,anon=0 -F nfs /cdrom/cdrom0

7. Log in as superuser on the host domain.

8. Create and mount the /cdrom directory on the domain.

domain_name# mkdir /cdrom [if it does not already exist] domain_name# mount ssp_hostname:/cdrom/cdrom0 /cdrom

9. If you have not already removed the AP 2.0 packages on the domain, remove them now by using the pkgrm(1M) command.

You should remove the following packages from the domain:

■ SUNWapu

■ SUNWapr

■ SUNWapdoc

10. Install the AP 2.1 host packages on the domain.

domain_name# pkgadd -d /cdrom/Product SUNWapdoc SUNWapu SUNWapr

Chapter 4 Alternate Pathing 2.1 on Sun Enterprise Servers 61

If you need more information about installing the Sun Enterprise Servers AnswerBook (SUNWuesab), see the Software and AnswerBook Installation Guide in your media box.

The software briefly displays copyright, trademark, and license information for each package, then it displays messages about pkgadd(1M) actions taken to install the package, including a list of the files and directories being installed.

Depending on your configuration, you may see the following message:

This package contains scripts which will be executed with superuser permission during the process of installing this package.

Do you want to continue with the installation of this package [y,n,?]

a. If so, type y to continue.

When this portion of the installation is complete, the AP 2.1 packages have been installed and the superuser prompt (#) is displayed.

11. In the netcon(1M) window, unmount the CD:

# cd / # umount /cdrom

12. Log in to the SSP as superuser.

13. Remove the SMCC Supplements CD from the CD-ROM drive:

ssp# cd / ssp# unshare /cdrom/cdrom0 ssp# eject cdrom

Reconfiguring the Domain

The instructions in this section reverse the actions taken in the “Preparing the Domain” on page 35. You should perform these instructions only if you are done upgrading all of the software packages you planned to upgrade.

You may have performed other tasks before you upgraded to Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 and/or AP 2.1; those tasks should be reversed before you return your Enterprise 10000 to production use.

62 SMCC Hardware Platform Guide Solaris 2.6 Hardware: 5/98 • May 1998

1. Uncomment all file systems in the /etc/vfstab file that you commented out when you prepared the domain for the upgrade.

2. Uncomment all swap partitions that are not on the same controller as the root disk.

3. Re-create all of the AP databases.

4. Re-create all of the AP metadevices and metanetworks.

5. Reboot the domain.

CHAPTER

Power Management on Sun Hardware

Computer systems are the fastest-growing electricity load in the business world and are believed to account for five percent of commercial electricity consumption. This share is expected to increase in the future. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has launched the Energy Star Computers program to encourage the introduction and use of energy-efficient computer systems and to reduce air pollution associated with energy generation.

In response to this policy, SMCC is providing Power Management software. Your Sun workstation is now capable of entering a lower power state when the display is inactive for a period of time. In short, the Power Management program reduces the amount of power your Sun workstation uses.

SPARCstation 4 Issues

This section describes a limitation of the SPARCstation 4 when used with Power Management, and suggests a workaround.

The AC accessory outlet on the SPARCstation 4 system unit is an unswitched outlet. The AC power switch does not control power flowing through the accessory outlet. If you connect a monitor to the accessory outlet, you cannot turn it off using the system unit power switch. Similarly, if you use Power Management software, the software cannot turn off the monitor automatically. To conserve energy, consider using an Energy Star compliant monitor. Sun offers a variety of Energy Star compliant monitors in its standard SPARCstation 4 system configurations. This information does not apply to SPARCserver 4 configurations. The SPARCserver 4 includes a switched accessory outlet.

Ultra 5 and Ultra 10 System Power-Off Feature

This section describes the Ultra 5 and Ultra 10 system power-off feature. All Ultra 5 and Ultra 10 models are equipped with a standby switch located on the

front of the system. When the system is running (in a windowing environment) and the standby switch is pressed, a GUI appears (see Figure 4-1).

FIGURE 5-1 Ultra 5 and Ultra 10 Power Off Selection GUI

The user now has the option of suspending or shutting down the system. Selecting Suspend saves the state of the system to disk, enabling the user to return to the current system environment. Selecting Shutdown syncs the disks to a neutral state and effectively shuts down the operating system.

Note – You must be in a windowing environment to use the power-off feature.

Pressing the standby switch when you are not in a windowing environment will immediately shutdown the system.

When the system is off, as a result of using the standby switch to suspend or shutdown your system, the standby switch will act as a power switch and can be used to reboot your system.

Note – The standby switch is not meant to replace the main power switch located

on the back of the system, but is a convenient feature which allows the user to use it like a power switch after initiating a suspend or shutdown from the GUI.
