Preinstalled Software

You can order the Sun Blade T6320 server module with one or more hard disk drives assembled to order. In that case, Solaris Operating System software and other software is preinstalled on the root hard drive. For information about preinstalled software, refer to this site:

http://www.sun.com/software/preinstall

For information about software that is preinstalled on the root hard drive, refer to the Sun Blade T6320 Server Module Product Notes.

Managing Your Sun Blade T6320 Server Module With ILOM

Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) is system management firmware you can use to monitor, manage, and configure the Sun Blade T6320 server module. The ILOM firmware is preinstalled on the service processor (SP) of the Sun Blade T6320 server module and initializes as soon as you apply power to the system. You can access ILOM through several interfaces, such as web browsers, a command-line interface (CLI), an SNMP interface, and an Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI). ILOM will continue to run regardless of the state of the host operating system, making it a “lights-out” management system.

For information about configuring and using ILOM, refer to the ILOM documentation described in “Related Documentation” on page viii.

Service Processors

A service processor (SP) is a board that operates independently of the other hardware in the system. It has its own Internet Protocol (IP) address and media access control (MAC) address and is capable of operating regardless of the state of the other system hardware. In a Sun Blade server module, the SP can operate whether the server module is fully operational, powered down, or somewhere in between. The Sun Blade modular system and every server module in the modular system has its own SP. On some server modules, the service processor is called a system controller.

4 Sun Blade T6320 Server Module Installation Guide • April 2010

Chassis Management Module

The Sun Blade modular system, or chassis, has its own service processor, called a chassis management module (CMM). CMM ILOM is a modified version of ILOM firmware that is preinstalled on the CMM.

Before installing the Sun Blade T6320 server module, you should have already installed and configured your Sun Blade modular system, including the CMM ILOM. For more information, refer to the installation guide for your Sun Blade modular system.

ILOM on the Server Module SP and CMM

ILOM supports two ways to manage a system: using the CMM or using the server module’s SP directly.

■ Using the Chassis Management Module – Managing the system from the CMM

enables you to set up and manage components throughout the entire system, as well as to manage the individual blade server SP.

■ Using the service processor directly – Managing the SP on a Sun Blade server

module enables you to manage individual server module operations. This approach might be useful in troubleshooting a specific service processor or controlling access to specific server modules.

Establishing Communication With ILOM

You can establish communication with ILOM through a console connection to the serial management port or through an Ethernet connection to the network management port on the CMM. The type of connection you establish to ILOM determines which type of tasks you can perform. For example, to remotely access the full range of system management functionality in ILOM, you require both an Ethernet connection and an IP assignment to the server module SP and the CMM. For detailed information about configuring and using ILOM, refer to the ILOM documentation described in “Related Documentation” on page viii.

Attaching a Serial Console to the Chassis Management Module

You can attach a serial console to the chassis management module (CMM). Refer to the installation guide for your Sun Blade modular system (chassis) for a description of that procedure.

Chapter 1 Before You Begin the Installation 5

Attaching a Serial Console to the Server Module

To communicate directly with the Sun Blade T6320 server module, you can connect a serial console to the universal connector port (UCP) on the front panel of the server module by using a dongle cable. See “Connecting to the Server Module SP Using a

Dongle Cable” on page 17 for more information.

Caution – Dongle cables are intended for set-up, testing, or service purposes and

should be removed when not in use. They have not been evaluated for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) compliance and are not to be used during normal system operation.

You can order an optional dongle cable with the Sun Blade T6320 server module, or you can use the dongle cable that shipped with your Sun Blade modular system.

A valid IP address may already have been assigned to the server module SP by your DHCP server. To view the IP address that has been assigned, type:

-> show /CH/BLn/SP/network ipaddress

Where n is an integer representing the slot where the target server module is installed. The CMM ILOM software displays the IP address currently assigned to the server module SP.

If the assigned IP address is not valid, you will need to provide the MAC address for the server module SP to your DHCP system administrator. In that case, proceed to Step 4.

4. Obtain the MAC address for the server module SP.

MAC addresses are 12-digit hexadecimal strings in the format xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx where x represents a single hexadecimal letter (0–9, A–F, a–f). The Customer Information document shipped with your server module lists the MAC address, or you can find it using this procedure:

a. Log in to the CMM ILOM software and type this command:

Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration 19

-> show /CH/BLn/SP/network macaddress

Where n is an integer representing the slot where the target server module is installed. The CMM ILOM software displays the current MAC address.

b. Write down the MAC address and use it to configure your DHCP server.

5. View the IP address that DHCP has assigned to the server module SP.

After a valid IP address has been assigned to the server module, view the IP address, as described in Step 3.

Configuring and Viewing the IP Address for a Server Module SP Through the UCP

You can connect to the server module SP by one of these methods:

■ Through the front-panel universal connector port (UCP) using a dongle cable.

■ Through the SP Ethernet port. You must already know the IP address to use this

method, so it is not useful for configuration.

▼ To View or Configure the IP Address for the Server

Module SP When Assigned by DHCP — Through the UCP

1. Verify that your DHCP server is configured to accept new media access control (MAC) addresses.

2. Connect to the server module SP through the front-panel UCP using a dongle cable.

Refer to “Connecting to the Server Module SP Using a Dongle Cable” on page 17.

3. Find the IP address that DHCP has assigned to the server module SP.

A valid IP address may already have been assigned to the server module SP by your DHCP server. To view the IP address that has been assigned, type:

-> show /SP/network ipaddress

The ILOM software displays the IP address currently assigned to the server module SP.

If the assigned IP address is not valid, you will need to provide the MAC address for the server module SP to your DHCP system administrator. In that case, proceed to Step 4.

4. Obtain the MAC address for the server module SP.

a. Type this command:

-> show /SP/network macaddress

The ILOM software displays the current MAC address.

Changing the ILOM Password and Powering On the Host

▼ To Change the ILOM Password

1. At the initial login prompt on the server module SP, you logged in using the default administrator user name and password.

hostname login: root Password: changeme

2. Use the ILOM password command to change the password.

-> set /SP/users/root password Enter new password: ******* Enter new password again: *******

After the root password has been set, on subsequent reboots, the ILOM CLI login prompt is displayed.

▼ To Power On the Host

After the service processor boots, the ILOM CLI prompt (->) is displayed the first time the service processor is booted.

1. Issue the start /SYS command.

You see an ILOM -> prompt on the system console. This indicates that the system has reset. Issue the start /SYS command:

-> start /SYS Are you sure you want to start /SYS (y/n)? y Starting /SYS

2. Issue the start /SP/console command.

Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration 25

-> start /SP/console Are you sure you want to start /SP/console (y/n)? y Serial console started. To stop, type #.

0:0:0>Scrub Memory....Done

0:0:0>SPU CWQ Tests...Done 0:0:0>MAU Tests...Done

After you issue the start commands, the CPU and memory controllers initialize, and eventually the OpenBoot PROM (OBP) firmware initializes. If a boot device installed with the Solaris OS is accessible locally, that device will be booted. Otherwise, the system will use the boot net command to seek a boot device on the network.

Powering On and Powering Off the Server Module

You must apply standby power to the server before initial configuration so that you can perform initial configuration of the service processor (SP). Procedures for powering on to main power mode and for shutting down from main power mode are also included in this section. Refer to the documentation for your Sun Blade modular system for more information.

▼ To Apply Standby Power for Initial Service

Processor Configuration

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

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

For details, see your chassis documentation.

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

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

Service Processor board and power supply fans.

FIGURE 1-1 for the LED location.

2. Continue with initial software setup tasks.

Refer to “Setting Up the ILOM Software” on page 12.

▼ To Power on Main Power for All Server

Components

1. Verify that standby power is on.

In standby power mode, the OK LED on the front panel flashes. See

2. Use a pointed object or stylus to press and release the recessed Power button on the server front panel.

When main power is applied to the full server, the Power/OK LED above the Power button lights and remains lit.

FIGURE 1-1.

▼ To Shut Down Main Power Mode

To power off the server from main power mode, use one of the following two methods:

■ Graceful shutdown. Use a pointed object or other stylus to press and release the

Power button on the front panel. This causes Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) enabled operating systems to perform an orderly shutdown of the operating system. Servers not running ACPI-enabled operating systems will shut down to standby power mode immediately.

■ Emergency shutdown. Press and hold the Power button for four seconds to force

main power off and enter standby power mode.

When main power is off, the Power/OK LED on the front panel will begin flashing, indicating that the server is in standby power mode.

Note – To power off the server completely, you must either remove the server

module from the chassis or disconnect the AC power cords from the back panel of the chassis.

Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration 27

Installing the Solaris Operating System on a Hard Drive

The basic configuration of Oracle’s Sun Blade T6320 server module ships with or without hard drives. If you ordered an optional hard drive with preinstalled software, refer to “Preinstalled Software” on page 4.

If you ordered an optional hard drive without preinstalled software and want to install the Solaris OS on the hard drive in slot 0, you must install the operating system from your network.

For instructions on how to install the operating system from the network, refer to the Solaris Installation Guide: Network-Based Installations. You can obtain this guide at:

http://docs.sun.com/

JumpStart Server Installation

You can use a JumpStart server to install the OS. A JumpStart server consists of several components:

■ Install client – The target system to be installed or upgraded.

■ Boot server – The network providing a failsafe operating system to the installing

client.

The boot image is architecture independent, providing basic operating system services to all hardware supported by that operating system release. The Boot Server provides RARP, TFTP and bootparam services.

■ Configuration server – A system that helps client systems determine unique profile

information.

Partition sizes, lists of software components to install, begin, and finish scripts are specified in a profile served by the configuration server.

■ Install server – The source of the software packages to be installed on the client.

Note – The boot server, configuration server, and install server can be one server.

They do not need to be physically separate servers.
