1.2 Overview of the Sun Fire V20z Server

The Sun Fire V20z is an AMD Opteron™ processor-based enterprise-class 1U 2P server. The Sun Fire V20z provides performance and value to an enterprise environment, offering significantly better performance than current 32-bit Intel-based solutions. The balanced server design maximizes overall performance through industry-leading I/O options, and delivers compelling real-world workload performance.
The Sun Fire V20z server includes an embedded service processor (SP), flash memory, RAM, a separate Ethernet interface and server-management software. It comes equipped with superior server-management tools for greater control and minimum total cost of ownership. You can use the command line interface or SNMP integration with third-party frameworks to configure and manage the platform with the SP. The dedicated SP provides complete operating-system independence and maximum availability of server management.

1.3 Overview of the Sun Fire V40z Server

The Sun Fire V40z server is an AMD Opteron Processor-based enterprise-class 3U 4P server. The Sun Fire V40z server provides performance and value to an enterprise environment, offering significantly better performance than current solutions. The AMD Opteron processor implements the x86-64 architecture, which delivers 64-bit capability. In addition, it delivers significant memory capacity and bandwidth, with twice the memory capacity and up to three times the memory bandwidth of existing 32-bit x86 servers.
The Sun Fire V40z server includes an embedded Service Processor (SP), flash memory, RAM, a separate Ethernet interface, shadow password support and server-management software. It comes equipped with superior server-management tools for greater control and minimum total cost of ownership. You can use the command line interface or SNMP integration with third-party frameworks to configure and manage the platform with the SP.

1.4 Shared Features of the Sun Fire V20z and Sun Fire V40z Servers

1.4.1 Server Management

Strong server-management capabilities are crucial to maintaining mission-critical servers. Advance notification of problems and rapid diagnosis and correction are critical functions to an environment in which a few servers bear most of the workload. These servers and their extensive server-management capabilities lower costs by reducing failure and potentially eliminating hands-on management.
1.4.1.1 Service Processor
These servers include a dedicated service processor (SP) for complete operating-system independence and maximum availability of server management. The SP is an embedded PowerPC that provides the following:
Environmental monitoring of the platform (such as temperatures, voltages, fan
■
speeds and panel switches) Alert messages when problems occur
■
■
Remote control of server operations (boot, shutdown and reboot of the server’s operating system, turning the server’s power on and off, stopping the server’s boot process in BIOS, and upgrading the BIOS)
The SP runs an embedded version of Linux, and all the server-management functions are developed as standard Linux applications. Its sole purpose is to support server management; therefore, the full functionality of the operating system is not available in the SP. Many familiar applications, such as ftp and telnet, are not provided as they are not required to support the server-management feature set.

1.4.1.2 Operator Panel
You can use the operator panel to configure network settings for the service processor.
■ FIGURE 1-1 shows the operator-panel location on the Sun Fire V20z front panel.
■ FIGURE 1-4 shows the operator-panel location on the Sun Fire V40z front panel.
The drivers for the server must be installed to access these menu options. Some operator-panel menus are only functional under these conditions:
■ An external file system is configured with the Network Share Volume (NSV).
■ The SP update server from the NSV machine is available.
■ The NSV machine has Java™ Runtime Environment 1.4.2 (or later) installed on it.
The liquid-crystal display (LCD) panel on the operator panel displays menu options with Menu: appearing in the first line and the menu option in the second line. When no menu option is available, the first line displays SP information, such as the IP address, and the second line provides platform information. For example:
123.45.67.89 OS running
TABLE 1-3 shows the operator-panel buttons that are used to navigate through the
menu options.

Button Function
Back/No

The Back/No and Forward/Yes buttons automatically scroll, repeating the action as long as the button is held down. After the button is held down a few seconds, auto scrolling begins and rapidly increments or decrements the value.

If a menu or data-entry screen displays for more than 30 seconds with no action taken, the menu or data entry is cancelled and the display returns to the idle/background state.
TABLE 1-4 lists the operations you can perform from the operator panel:
TABLE 1-4 Operator-Panel Menu Options
Menu Menu Options Description
Server Shutdown server Signals the server operating system (OS) to shut down and
power off. To force the power off in the case in which the OS hangs,
the operator must hold the power button for four seconds.
Reboot server Signals the server OS to shut down and reboot.
Show DIMM Errs Displays memory-module errors.
Clear DIMM Errs Clears memory-module errors.
(For more information, refer to “System-Fault Events” in the Sun Fire V20z and Sun Fire V40z Servers— Troubleshooting Techniques and Diagnostics Guide, 817-7184.)
Display Port 80 Displays the last ten Port 80 codes (in hex, 5 per line). Press
any button to clear the display. The display automatically clears after 30 seconds.
This feature only works in BIOS booting state; to see all the post codes, run the subcommand sp get port80 -m .

TABLE 1-4 Operator-Panel Menu Options (Continued)
Menu Menu Options Description
Dump SP Invokes the Troubleshooting Dump Utility (TDU), which
captures the following information and either sends it to stdout or stores it in an output file:
• system state table (SST)
• hardware and software component versions
• machine check register values
• CPU trace buffers
• CPU configuration space registers (CSR)
• event log file
• the last good configuration (LGC)
By default, the TDU data is redirected to stdout. If there is an NFS-mounted directory, the log is placed on a
mounted NFS filesystem, with the following path and file name: /logs/<
sp hostname
Note: You can also invoke the TDU running the subcommand sp get tdulog.
Use defaults Restores SP settings to the default factory configuration.
Note: All current data (users, network configuration, ssh and events) and IPMI settings are lost, and the SP is rebooted.
Set SP IP Info Configures the SP network using DHCP or a static
IP address. (For more information, refer to Chapter 2 in the Sun Fire
V20z and Sun Fire V40z Servers—Installation Guide,
817-5246.)
Reboot SP Forces the SP to shut down and reboot.
Note: The platform OS is not affected.
Config Console Allows you to configure rear-panel serial port to be SP or
platform.
