6. Customize your server as needed. For details, refer to the “System Management” section of the online information system or the Integrated Lights-Out Manager Administration Guide, 820-0280-10.

Installing the Server Into a Rack With Optional Slide Rails

To install your server in a four-post rack using the orderable slide-rail option, follow these procedures. These slide-rails are compatible with a wide range of equipment racks that meet the following standards:

■ Four-post structure (mounting at both front and rear). Two-post racks are not

compatible.

■ Rack horizontal opening and unit vertical pitch conforming to ANSI/EIA

310-D-1992 or IEC 60927 standards.

■ Distance between front and rear mounting planes between 610 mm and 915 mm

(24 inches to 36 inches).

■ Clearance depth (to front cabinet door) in front of front rack mounting plane at

least 25.4 mm (1 inch).

■ Clearance depth (to rear cabinet door) behind front rack mounting plane at least

800 mm (31.5 inches) or 700 mm (27.5 inches) without cable management arm.

■ Clearance width (between structural supports and cable troughs) between front

and rear mounting planes at least 456 mm (18 inches).

Note – Although the Sun Fire X4100/X4100 M2 server is pictured in the illustrations

in this section, these procedures also apply to the Sun Fire X4200/X4200 M2 server.

Caution – Always load equipment into a rack from the bottom up so that it will not

become top-heavy and tip over. Deploy your rack’s anti-tilt bar to prevent the rack from tipping during equipment installation.

Verifying Operation of the Slide Rails and CMA

Use this procedure to ensure that the slide-rails and CMA are operating correctly.

Note – Two people are recommended for this procedure: one to move the server in

and out of the rack and one to observe the cables and CMA.

1. Slowly pull the server out of the rack until the slide-rails reach their stops.

2. Inspect the attached cables for any binding or kinks.

3. Verify that the CMA extends fully and does not bind in the slide-rails.

4. Push the server back into the rack, as described below.

When the server is fully extended, you must release two sets of slide-rail stops to return the server to the rack:

a. The first set of stops are levers, located on the inside of each slide-rail, just

behind the rear panel of the server. These levers are labeled “PUSH.” Push in both levers simultaneously and slide the server toward the rack.

The server will travel approximately 15 inches (38 cm) and stop. Verify that the cables and the CMA retract without binding before continuing.

b. The second set of stops are the slide-rail release buttons, located near the front

of each mounting bracket. See the slide-rail release buttons and push the server completely into the rack until both slide-rail locks engage.

Powering On and Off the Server

You have to apply only standby power to the server at this point so that you can perform initial configuration o f the service processor. Procedures for powering on to main power mode and for shutting down from main power mode are also included in this section.

Applying Standby Power for Initial Service Processor Configuration

Use this procedure to apply standby power to the service processor (SP) before initial configuration.

Caution – Do not operate the server without all fans, component heatsinks, air

baffles, and the cover installed. Severe damage to server components can occur if operated without adequate cooling mechanisms.

1. Connect grounded AC power cords to the AC power connectors on the back panel of the server and to grounded AC power outlets.

In standby power mode, the Power/OK LED on the front panel flashes, indicating that the SP is working. See

FIGURE 1-13 or FIGURE 1-14 for the LED location.

Note – At this point, standby power is supplied only to the Graphics Redirect and

Service Processor (GRASP) board and power supply fans. You can proceed to

Chapter 2 to begin initial configuration. Do not apply main power to the rest of the

server until you are ready to install a platform operating system.

2. Continue with initial software setup tasks, as described in Chapter 2.

CHAPTER

Setting Up the Server Software

This chapter describes the tasks for initial setup of the server’s service processor and Integrated Lights Out Manager™ software. This chapter contains these topics:

■ “Introduction to the Integrated Lights Out Manager” on page 19

■ “Connecting to the ILOM Service Processor” on page 21

■ “Setting Up Platform Operating System and Driver Software” on page 29

Introduction to the Integrated Lights Out Manager

The Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) provides powerful tools for managing your server.

FIGURE 2-1 Integrated Lights Out Manager Login Page

ILOM consists of four components, three of which are on your host server and one that is on the client system that accesses your host server. The four components are as follows:

■ ILOM SP hardware. Your server is equipped with a Graphics Redirect and

Service Processor (GRASP) board that performs the following functions:

■ Monitors the status and configuration of field-replaceable components of your

server, such as fans, disk drives, and power supplies.

■ Provides serial and Ethernet connections to external terminals or local area

networks (LANs).

■ ILOM SP firmware. Preinstalled on the GRASP board is a library of system

management firmware applications. This ILOM firmware is operating system independent. These firmware applications provide the following system management interfaces into your server:

■ A web-based graphical interface

■ A Secure Shell (SSH) command-line interface

■ An IPMI v2.0 command interface

■ A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) v1, v2c, or v3 interface

These interfaces call the same underlying system management functions on your GRASP board, so you can choose to work with one or more of these ILOM interfaces to integrate with the other management interfaces running in your data center.

■ Remote Console application. The Remote Console application allows remote

clients to view the graphical console of your host server as though they were directly attached to its video connector. The Remote Console is a mirror of the 1024x768 output from the server’s VGA video connector. The remote keyboard, mouse, CD drive, or diskette drive will appear as standard USB devices.

Note – The Remote Console application is not required on the client systems, but a

™

web browser and Sun Java

runtime environment version 5.0 or later are required

on the client systems. You can download Java free from http://java.sun.com.

■ Client-side Secure Shell application. To access the ILOM SP through a remote

Secure Shell (SSH), you must install a Secure Shell communications application on the remote client system (server, workstation, or laptop). Many Secure Shell communications applications are available from commercial or open-source distribution. Refer to http://www.openssh.org for information about opensource client-side SSH applications.

™

Sun Microsystems

has configured the ILOM hardware and firmware on your server to reflect the most common default settings used in the field. It is unlikely that you will need to change these defaults.

20 Sun Fire X4100/X4100 M2 and X4200/X4200 M2 Servers Installation Guide • May 2007

Connecting to the ILOM Service Processor

There are two methods for connecting to the ILOM SP to perform initial setup and configuration. Use the procedure that you prefer:

■ “Connecting to ILOM Using a Serial Connection” on page 21

■ “Connecting to ILOM Using an Ethernet Connection” on page 23

Connecting to ILOM Using a Serial Connection

Use this procedure to establish a serial connection to the ILOM SP so that you can perform initial configuration of ILOM.

Note – This procedure assumes that you have already completed the hardware

setup and have applied standby power to your server, as described in Chapter 1.

1. Verify that your terminal, laptop, or terminal server is operational.

2. Configure that terminal device or the terminal emulation software running on a laptop or PC to the following settings:

■ 8N1: eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit

■ 9600 baud

■ Disable hardware flow control (CTS/RTS)

Connecting to ILOM Using an Ethernet Connection

To access the full range of ILOM functionality such as the graphical user interface (GUI), you must connect a LAN to the Ethernet port and configure your Ethernet connection.

ILOM supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and static IP addressing.

■ To configure using DHCP, see “Configuring ILOM Ethernet Settings Using

DHCP” on page 23.

■ To configure using a static IP address, see “Configuring ILOM Using Static

Ethernet Settings” on page 26.

Configuring ILOM Ethernet Settings Using DHCP

Note – This procedure assumes that you have already completed the hardware

setup and have applied standby power for your server, as described in Chapter 1.

1. Verify that your DHCP server is configured to accept new media access control (MAC) addresses by checking with your system administrator.

2. Connect an Ethernet cable to the server’s RJ-45 NET MGT Ethernet port. See

FIGURE 1-11 or FIGURE 1-12.

If the ILOM SP is not using static IP addresses, it broadcasts a DHCPDISCOVER packet with the ID of its MAC address. A DHCP server on your LAN returns a DHCPOFFER packet containing an IP address and other information. The ILOM SP then manages its “lease” of that IP address that was assigned to it by the DHCP server.

3. Obtain the ILOM SP IP address from one of the following locations. Record the IP address for future reference.

■ CLI commands. The SP has a serial port to which you can attach a terminal

device. If you log in to the SP and enter the CLI command show /SP/network, the SP displays the current IP address.

■ The system BIOS setup screen. Press F2 during bootup, then choose Advanced →

IPMI 2.0 Configuration

■ DHCP server log files. If you use this method, use Step a through Step c below.

→ Set LAN Configuration → IP address.

Otherwise, skip to Step 4.

Chapter 2 Setting Up the Server Software 23

a. Identify the MAC address of the ILOM SP from one of the following locations

and write it down:

■ CLI commands. The SP has a serial port to which you can attach a terminal

device. If you log in to the SP and type the CLI command show /SP/network, the SP displays the current MAC address.

■ The Customer Information Sheet that is shipped with your server.

■ The system BIOS setup screen. Press F2 during bootup, then choose Advanced

→ IPMI 2.0 Configuration → Set LAN Configuration → MAC address.

b. Log in to your DHCP server and view its DHCP log file.

Note – Different DHCP server applications running on different operating systems

store these log files in different locations. Consult your DHCP system administrator to locate the correct path to the log file.

c. Identify the IP address in the log file that corresponds to the MAC address of

your ILOM SP.

Typically, DHCP log file entries are individual lines with the following commaseparated fields:

ID, Date, Time, Description, IP Address, Host Name, MAC Address

Locate the MAC address of your ILOM SP in the MAC Address (seventh) field of the correct DHCP file entry and record the corresponding value of the IP Address (fifth) field. This is the IP address that you must use to access the system management firmware applications on your ILOM SP.

4. Open a session to the ILOM SP using the IP address that you obtained in Step 3.

You can use the CLI or the GUI interface.

■ To establish a Secure Shell (SSH) connection to the ILOM SP CLI, type the

appropriate connection command in the SSH application. For example, to connect to the SP with the DHCP-assigned IP address of 129.144.82.20, type the following command:

# ssh -l root 129.144.82.20

The default user name is root, which was included in the ssh command. When you are prompted, enter the default password for the SP, changeme. You can then enter commands to manage user accounts or to monitor the status of devices on your server. See the example in

FIGURE 2-2 Opening a Session With an SSH Command-Line Interface

■ To establish a connection to the ILOM SP web GUI, type the IP address of the

ILOM SP in the browser locator box and press Enter. For example, if the IP address for your ILOM SP was 129.144.02.20, you would

enter it as shown in

FIGURE 2-3. The first GUI page prompts you for the default

username, root, and the default password, changeme.

FIGURE 2-3 Opening a Session With a Web GUI

5. After you have entered the user name and password in either the CLI or GUI, you can use the interface to configure your ILOM SP.

For detailed instructions on configuring your system, see the Integrated Lights-Out Manager Administration Guide, 819-1160.

6. Continue with “Setting Up Platform Operating System and Driver Software” on

page 29.

Chapter 2 Setting Up the Server Software 25

Configuring ILOM Using Static Ethernet Settings

As an alternative to having your DHCP server assign an IP address to your ILOM SP, you can also assign a static IP address to it. You can do this by using the web GUI, by using the CLI over the network or serial port, or by using the server’s BIOS Setup Utility. Use the procedure you prefer.

■ “Configuring Static IP Addresses Using the Web GUI” on page 26

■ “Configuring Static IP Addresses Using the CLI” on page 27

■ “Configuring Static IP Addresses Using the BIOS Setup Utility” on page 28

Configuring Static IP Addresses Using the Web GUI

1. Determine the current IP address of the ILOM SP from one of the following locations:

■ CLI command. The SP has a serial port to which you can attach a terminal device.

If you log in to the SP and enter the CLI command show /SP/network, the SP displays the current IP address.

■ The system BIOS setup screen. Press F2 during bootup, then choose Advanced →

IPMI 2.0 Configuration

2. Connect to the ILOM SP through a web browser running on a remote system.

3. Log in to the web GUI using the default user name, root, and the default password, changeme.

→ Set LAN Configuration → IP address.

4. Choose the Configuration tab and its Network tab to display information about the current network configuration of your ILOM SP. See

5. Select the Use the Following IP Address option and type your static IP address information. See the example in

Selecting Your Console Output

Unlike with SPARC® systems, you will not see the output of the preinstalled Solaris 10 image through a monitor when you power on the server. Instead, the output of the preinstalled image is directed to a serial console.

GRUB, the open source boot loader, is the default boot loader. The boot loader is the first software program that runs after you power on a system.

From the GRUB menu, you have the option of displaying the installation process to a VGA connection (video port) as shown here:

*******************************************************************

* Solaris 10 11/06 s10x_u2wos_09a X86 *

* Solaris failsafe *

* Solaris 10 11/06 s10x_u2wos_09a X86 (VGA) *

* *

*******************************************************************

Note – The first line of the above figure shows the default startup mode.

Example

To display output to the video port, choose the Solaris 10 11/06 s10x_u2wos_09a X86 (VGA) option.

Configuring the Preinstalled Solaris 10 Operating System

Note – Before you perform this procedure, you need to set up the service processor.

If you have not done so, see “Before You Begin” on page 31.

Use the information that you gathered in “Installation Worksheet” on page 32 as you perform the configuration.

After configuring the ILOM SP, you can configure the preinstalled Solaris 10 operating system (OS) by using another system to connect to the server, or install a Linux or Windows platform operating system. The possible ways to do this are described here:

■ “To Connect to the Server Using the Service Processor’s IP Address” on page 37

If you use this method, you first need to determine the service processor’s IP address and the server must be connected to the network.

■ “To Connect to the Server Using a Terminal Program” on page 38

If you use this method, you do not need to determine the service processor’s IP address, but you will need to have a cable connection from the server to the serial port of a host system.

■ If you want to install a supported Windows or Linux OS and the required drivers,

refer to the following:
