Chip-Multitheaded Processor and Memory Technology

The UltraSPARC®T2 multicore processor is the basis of the Sun Netra T5220 server. The UltraSPARC T2 processor is based on chip multithreading (CMT) technology that is optimized for highly threaded transactional processing. The UltraSPARC T2 processor improves throughput while using less power and dissipating less heat than conventional processor designs.

Depending on the model purchased, the processor has four, six, or eight UltraSPARC cores. Each core equates to a 64-bit execution pipeline capable of running eight threads. The result is that the 8-core processor handles up to 64 active threads concurrently.

Additional processor components, such as L1 cache, L2 cache, memory access crossbar, memory controllers, and the I/O interface have been carefully tuned for optimal performance.

Chapter 1 Sun Netra T5220 Features Overview 7

Some of these enhancements are:

■ A dedicated floating point unit (FPU) for each core (processor thread)

■ Four independent dual-channel memory controllers that use the latest fully

buffered memory technology.

■ Processor-integrated cyptographic acceleration

■ Large page optimization

■ Reduction on TLB misses

■ Optimized block copy

■ Support for Sun’s 10 Gigabit Ethernet with the addition of XAUI cards in PCI

slots 0 and 1

Preinstalled Solaris Operating System

The Sun Netra T5220 server is preinstalled with the Solaris 10 OS, and offers the following Solaris OS features:

■ Stability, high performance, scalability, and precision of a mature 64-bit operating

system

■ Support for over 12,000 leading technical and business applications

■ Solaris Containers – Isolate software applications and services using flexible,

software-defined boundaries.

multiple levels.

■ Network Performance – Completely rewritten TCP/IP stack dramatically

improves the performance and scalability of your networked services.

You can use the preinstalled Solaris 10 OS, or reinstall a supported version of the Solaris 10 OS from your network, CD, or downloaded copy. Refer to the Sun Netra T5220 Server Product Notes for information on the supported OS releases for your server.

8 Sun Netra T5220 Installation Guide • November 2011

Hardware-Assisted Cryptography

The UltraSPARC T2 multicore processor provides hardware-assisted acceleration of RSA and DSA cryptographic operations. The Solaris 10 OS provides the multithreaded device driver that supports the hardware-assisted cryptography.

Support for Virtualization Through Logical Domains (LDoms)

The Sun Netra T5220 servers support the use of Logical Domains (LDoms) technology. Through the use of the Solaris OS and the built-in server firmware, and by installing the Logical Domains Manager software, you can virtualize the compute services that run on your server.

A logical domain is a discrete, logical grouping with its own operating system, resources, and identity within a single computer system. Each logical domain can be created, destroyed, reconfigured, and rebooted independently, without requiring a power cycle of the server.

You can run a variety of applications software in different logical domains and keep them independent for performance and security purposes.

Each logical domain can be managed as an entirely independent machine with its own resources, such as:

■ Kernel, patches, and tuning parameters

■ User accounts and administrators

■ Network interfaces, MAC addresses, and IP addresses

Each logical domain can interact only with those server resources made available to it, and the configuration is controlled using the Logical Domains Manger.

For more information on Logical Domains, refer to the Logical Domains (LDoms) Administration Guide.

Remote Manageability With ILOM

The Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) feature is a service processor, built into the server, that enables you to remotely manage and administer the server. The ILOM software is preinstalled as firmware, and initializes as soon as you apply power to the system.

Chapter 1 Sun Netra T5220 Features Overview 9

ILOM enables you to monitor and control your server over an Ethernet connection (supports SSH), or by using a dedicated serial port for connection to a terminal or terminal server. ILOM provides a command-line interface and a browser-based interface that you can use to remotely administer geographically distributed or physically inaccessible machines. In addition, ILOM enables you to run diagnostics (such as POST) remotely that would otherwise require physical proximity to the server’s serial port.

You can configure ILOM to send email alerts of hardware failures and warnings, and other events related to the server. The ILOM circuitry runs independently of the server, using the server ’s standby power. Therefore, ILOM firmware and software continue to function when the server operating system goes offline or when the server is powered off. ILOM monitors the following Sun Netra T5220 server conditions:

■ CPU temperature conditions

■ Hard drive status

■ Enclosure thermal conditions

■ Fan speed and status

■ Power supply status

■ Voltage conditions

■ Faults detected by POST (power-on self-test)

■ Solaris Predictive Self-Healing (PSH) diagnostic facilities

In addition to the ILOM CLI and browser interface (BI), you can set up the server to use an ALOM CMT compatibility CLI. The ALOM CMT compatibility CLI provides commands that approximate the ALOM CMT CLI that is a system controller interfaced provided on some previous servers.

For information about configuring and using the ILOM service processor, refer to the latest Integrated Lights Out Management (ILOM) User’s Guide and the Sun Integrated Lights Out Managment 2.0 (ILOM 2.0) Supplement for the Sun Netra T5220 Server.

High Levels of System Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability

Reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) are aspects of a system’s design that affect its ability to operate continuously and to minimize the time necessary to service the system. Reliability refers to a system’s ability to operate continuously without failures and to maintain data integrity. System availability refers to the ability of a system to recover to an operational state after a failure, with minimal

10 Sun Netra T5220 Installation Guide • November 2011

impact. Serviceability relates to the time it takes to restore a system to service following a system failure. Together, reliability, availability, and serviceability features provide for near continuous system operation.

To deliver high levels of reliability, availability, and serviceability, the Sun Netra T5220 server offers the following features:

■ Ability to disable individual threads and cores without rebooting

■ Lower heat generation reduces hardware failures

■ Hot-pluggable hard drives

■ Redundant, hot-swappable power supplies (two)

■ Redundant fan units

■ Environmental monitoring

■ Internal hardware drive mirroring (RAID 1)

■ Error detection and correction for improved data integrity

■ Easy access for most component replacements

Hot-Pluggable and Hot-Swappable Components

Sun Netra T5220 server hardware is designed to support hot-plugging of the chassismounted hard drives and power supplies. By using the proper software commands, you can install or remove these components while the system is running. Hot-swap and hot-plug technology significantly increases the system’s serviceability and availability by providing the ability to replace hard drives, fan units, and power supplies without service disruption.

Power Supply Redundancy

The Sun Netra T5220 server provides two hot-swappable power supplies, enabling the system to continue operating should one of the power supplies fail or if a power source fails.

Environmental Monitoring

The Sun Netra T5220 server features an environmental monitoring subsystem that protects the server and its components against:

■ Extreme temperatures

■ Lack of adequate airflow through the system

■ Power supply failures

■ Hardware faults

Chapter 1 Sun Netra T5220 Features Overview 11

Temperature sensors are located throughout the system to monitor the ambient temperature of the system and internal components. The software and hardware ensure that the temperatures within the enclosure do not exceed predetermined safe operation ranges. If the temperature observed by a sensor falls below a lowtemperature threshold or rises above a high-temperature threshold, the monitoring subsystem software lights the amber Service Required LEDs on the front and back panel. If the temperature condition persists and reaches a critical threshold, the system initiates a graceful system shutdown. In the event of a failure of the system controller, backup sensors protect the system from serious damage, by initiating a forced hardware shutdown. Required LEDs remain lit after an automatic system shutdown to aid in problem diagnosis.

The power subsystem is monitored in a similar fashion by monitoring power supplies and reporting any fault in the front and rear panel LEDs.

Support for RAID Storage Configurations

You can set up hardware RAID 1 (mirroring) and hardware RAID 0 (striping) configurations for any pair of internal hard drives, providing a high-performance solution for hard drive mirroring.

By attaching one or more external storage devices to the Sun Netra T5220 server, you can use a redundant array of independent drives (RAID) software application such as Solstice DiskSuite™ storage in a variety of different RAID levels.

or VERITAS Volume Manager to configure system drive

Error Correction and Parity Checking

The UltraSPARC T2 multicore processor provides parity protection on its internal cache memories, including tag parity and data parity on the D-cache and I-cache. The internal L2 cache has parity protection on the tags, and ECC protection on the data.

Advanced ECC, corrects up to 4 bits in error on nibble boundaries, as long as they are all in the same DRAM. If a DRAM fails, the DIMM continues to function.

Fault Management and Predictive Self Healing

The Sun Netra T5220 server provides the latest fault management technologies. The Solaris 10 OS architecture provides a means for building and deploying systems and services capable of predictive self-healing. Self-healing technology enables systems to

1. Software RAID applications such as VERITAS Volume Manager arenot included with this server. You must obtain and license them separately.

12 Sun Netra T5220 Installation Guide • November 2011

accurately predict component failures and mitigate many serious problems before they actually occur. This technology is incorporated into both the hardware and software of the Sun Netra T5220 server.

At the heart of the predictive self-healing capabilities is the Solaris a new service that receives data relating to hardware and software errors, and automatically and silently diagnoses the underlying problem. Once a problem is diagnosed, a set of agents automatically responds by logging the event, and if necessary, takes the faulty component offline. By automatically diagnosing problems, business-critical applications and essential system services can continue uninterrupted in the event of software failures, or major hardware component failures.

™ Fault Manager,

Rackmountable Enclosure

The Sun Netra T5220 server uses a space-saving 2U-high rackmountable enclosure that can be installed into a variety of industry standard racks.

■ “Safety Precautions” on page 19

Server and Rack Installation Measurements

The Sun Netra T5220 server mounted in a 2-post rack with the 19-inch, 2 post mounting kit (X7901A-4) protrudes 193 millimeters (7.59 inches) beyond the front of the rack rail post.

For less protrusion in the front of the rack, the server can also be mounted using the rear portion of the rail, which reduces protrusion to 115 millimeters (4.52 inches) beyond the front of the rack rail post.

Tools and Equipment Needed

To install the system, you must have the following tools:

■ No. 2 Phillips screwdriver

■ ESD mat and grounding strap

In addition, you must provide a system console device, such as one of the following:

■ ASCII terminal

■ Workstation

■ Terminal server

■ Patch panel connected to a terminal server

Shipping Kit Inventory List

Standard components of the server are installed at the factory. However, if you ordered options such as a PCI card and monitor, these are shipped to you separately.

Note – Inspect the shipping cartons for evidence of physical damage. If a shipping

carton appears damaged, request that the carrier ’s agent be present when the carton is opened. Keep all contents and packing material for the agent’s inspection.

Verify that you have received all the parts of your server.

■ Server chassis

■ 19-inch, 4-post hardmount rack rail kit

Note – The other rack rail kits described in Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 must be

ordered separately from Sun.

■ Package of mounting screws and nuts in assorted sizes to fit various types of

racks and cabinets

■ Miscellaneous hardware, cables, and connectors

■ Any optional components that were ordered with the server

16 Sun Netra T5220 Installation Guide • November 2011

Optional Component Installation

The standard components of the server are installed at the factory. However, if you ordered options such as additional memory or PCI cards, these will be shipped separately. If possible, install these components prior to installing the server in a rack.

If you ordered any options that are not factory-installed, see the Sun Netra T5220 Server Service Manual (820-3012) for installation instructions.

Note – The list of optional components can be updated without notice. See the

product web pages for the most current list of components supported in the server.

ESD Precautions

Electronic equipment is susceptible to damage by static electricity. Use a grounded antistatic wriststrap, footstrap, or equivalent safety equipment to prevent electrostatic damage (ESD) when you install or service the servers.

Caution – To protect electronic components from electrostatic damage, which can

permanently disable the system or require repair by service technicians, place components on an antistatic surface, such as an antistatic discharge mat, an antistatic bag, or a disposable antistatic mat. Wear an antistatic grounding strap connected to a metal surface on the chassis when you work on system components.

Installation Overview

This installation guide provides procedures that are to be performed in the following order.

1. Verify that you have received all of the components that ship with your server. See “Shipping Kit Inventory List” on page 16.

2. Gather configuration information for your system. See your system administrator for specific details, including these parameters:

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation 17

■ Netmask

■ IP address for the service processor

■ Gateway IP address

3. Install any optional components shipped with your system. If you have purchased other optional components such as additional memory, install them prior to mounting the server in a rack. See “Optional Component Installation” on

page 17.

4. Mount the server into a rack or cabinet. See Chapter 3 for 4-post racks, or

Chapter 4 for 2-post racks.

Note – In the rest of this manual, the term rack means either an open rack or a

closed cabinet.

5. Connect the server to a serial terminal or a terminal emulator (PC or workstation) to display system messages. See “Powering On the System for the First Time” on

page 79.

Tip – The serial terminal or a terminal emulator should be connected before you

connect the power cables. As soon as power is connected to the system, the service processor immediately powers on and runs diagnostics. Diagnostic test failures will be printed on the serial terminal. For more information, refer to the Integrated Lights Out Management 2.0 (ILOM 2.0) Supplement for the Sun Netra T5220 Server.

6. Connect the data cables to the server, but do not connect the power cable yet. See

“Connecting the Server Cables” on page 69.

7. Connect the power cable to the server and examine the display for any error messages. See “Powering On the System for the First Time” on page 79.

Caution – There is a potential for electric shock if the server and related equipment

are not properly grounded.

Note – The service processor runs on the 3.3V standby voltage. As soon as AC

power is connected to the system, the service processor immediately powers on, runs diagnostics, and initializes the ILOM firmware.

8. After the service processor boots, access the ILOM command-line interface (CLI) through the serial management port. See “To Log In To the Service Processor

Using the Serial Management Port” on page 84.

18 Sun Netra T5220 Installation Guide • November 2011

9. Configure the service processor network addresses. See “Configuring the Service

Processor Network Management Port” on page 86.

Note – The service processor network management port is not operational until you

configure network settings for the service processor (through the service processor serial management port).

10. Commit the changes to the service processor network parameters. See Step 7 in

“To Power On the System for the First Time” on page 81.

11. Power on the server from a keyboard using the ILOM software. See “To Power On

the System” on page 91.

12. Configure the Solaris OS. See “Booting the Solaris Operating System” on page 94.

The Solaris OS is preinstalled on the servers. When you power on, you are automatically guided through the Solaris OS configuration procedure.

13. Install any required patches to the server.

Refer to the Sun Netra T5220 Server Product Notes for a list of required patches.

14. Load additional software from the Solaris media kit (optional).

The Solaris media kit (sold separately) includes several CDs containing software to help you operate, configure, and administer your server. Refer to the documentation provided with the media kit for a complete listing of included software and detailed installation instructions.

Safety Precautions

Caution – Deploy the antitilt bar on the equipment rack before beginning an

installation.

Caution – The Sun Neta T5220 server weighs approximately 40 lb (18.14 kg). Two

people are required to lift and mount this 2U server into a rack enclosure when using the procedures in this document.

Caution – When completing a two-person procedure, always communicate your

intentions clearly before, during, and after each step to minimize confusion.

CHAPTER

Cabling the Server

This chapter provides instructions for cabling the server. Topics include:

■ “Cable Connections and Ports” on page 65

■ “Connecting the Server Cables” on page 69

■ “DC Operation Conditions and Procedures” on page 73

Note – Both AC and DC versions of the server must be installed in a restricted-

access location.

Caution – The Sun Netra T5220 must not be directly connected to Outside Plant

cables.

Cable Connections and Ports

The following list describes the server’s cable connections and ports:

■ Minimum cable connections for the servers:

■ At least one system on-board Ethernet network connection (NET port)

■ The service processor serial management port (SER MGT port)

■ The service processor network management port (NET MGT port)

■ AC or DC power cables for the two system power supplies

■ Service processor management ports: There are two serial management ports for

use with the ILOM system controller.

■ The service processor serial management port (labeled SER MGT) uses an RJ-

45 cable and is always available. This is the default connection to the ILOM system controller.

■ The service processor network management port (labeled NET MGT) is the

optional connection to the ILOM system controller. This port is not available until you have configured network settings for the system controller (through the service processor serial management port). See “Enabling the Service

Processor Network Management Port” on page 83. The service processor

network management port uses an RJ-45 cable for a 10/100BASE-T connection. This port does not support connections to Gigabit networks.

■ Ethernet ports: Labeled NET0, NET1, NET2, and NET3. The Ethernet interfaces

operate at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps. The transfer rates for the Ethernet ports are given in

TABLE 5-1 Ethernet Connection Transfer Rates

Connection Type IEEE Terminology Transfer Rate

Ethernet 10BASE-T 10 Mbit/sec

Fast Ethernet 100BASE-TX 100 Mbits/sec

Gigabit Ethernet 1000BASE-T 1000 Mbit/sec

TABLE 5-1.

■ TTYA serial port: The TTYA serial port has a DB-9 connector, which is located at

the lower right corner of the rear panel (

FIGURE 5-1). A DB-9 to RJ-45 adapter cable

is included in the shipping kit.

■ Use the DB-9 connector with a null modem cable for serial devices. This port

appears as ttya in Solaris OS and OpenBoot™ messages.

■ This port is not connected to the service processor serial management port.

■ Use this serial port only for general purpose serial data transfers.

■ Use a null modem cable or an adapter to perform the crossovers given for each

connector.

■ USB Ports: Two Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports labeled USB 0 and USB 1 are

provided on the rear panel (

FIGURE 5-1 ). USB ports support hot-plugging. You can

connect and disconnect USB cables and peripheral devices while the server is running, without affecting system operations.

■ You can only perform USB hot-plug operations while the OS is running. USB

hot-plug operations are not supported when the OpenBoot PROM ok prompt is displayed or before the system has completed booting.

■ You can connect up to 126 devices to each of the two USB controllers, for a

total of 252 USB devices per server.

■ Input AC/DC power cables: Do not attach power cables to the power supplies

until you have finished connecting the data cables, and have connected the server to a serial terminal or a terminal emulator (PC or workstation). The server goes

FIGURE 5-4 Service Processor Network Management Port – Rear Panel

Note – This port is not operational until you configure the network settings

(through the serial managment port), as detailed in “Configuring the Service

Processor Network Management Port” on page 86.

Note – If you have access to a DHCP server on the network, you can see the service

processor get an IP address because the DHCP client is enabled by default.

Note – The service processor network management port is configured by default to

retrieve network settings with Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and allow connections using Solaris Secure Shell (SSH). You might need to modify these settings for your network. Instructions are given in Chapter 6.

● Connect a Category 5 cable from the NET MGT network management port to

your network switch or hub.

▼ To Connect the Ethernet Network Cables

The server has four network connectors, marked NET0, NET1, NET2, and NET3 (

FIGURE 5-5). These connectors are RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet.

CHAPTER

Powering On the System

This chapter includes instructions for booting the server and for enabling the system controller network management port.

The following topics are included:

■ “Powering On the System for the First Time” on page 79

■ “Enabling the Service Processor Network Management Port” on page 83

■ “Logging In To the Service Processor” on page 84

■ “Using the Service Processor for Common Operations” on page 90

■ “Booting the Solaris Operating System” on page 94

■ “Verifying System Functionality” on page 97

Powering On the System for the First Time

This section provides an overview and instructions for powering on your system the first time.

ILOM System Console

When you power on the system, the boot process begins under the control of the Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) system console. The system console displays status and error messages generated by firmware-based tests during system startup.

Note – To see these status and error messages, connect a terminal or terminal

emulator to the serial management port (SERIAL MGT). For a basic procedure to connect a terminal or terminal emulator, see “To Power On the System for the First

Time” on page 81.

For a more detailed discussion on configuring the system console and connecting terminals, refer to the Sun Netra T5220 Server Administration Guide.

ILOM Service Processor

After the system console finishes its low-level system diagnostics, the ILOM service processor initializes and runs a higher level of diagnostics. When you access the ILOM service processor using a device connected to the serial management port, you see the output of the ILOM diagnostics.

By default, the network management port is configured to automatically retrieve network configuration using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and to allow connections using Secure Shell (SSH).

Note – If you are unable to use DHCP and SSH on your network, you must connect

to the ILOM service processor using the serial management port to reconfigure the network management port. See “Configuring the Service Processor Network

Management Port” on page 86.

Once the network management port (NET MGT) has been assigned an IP address, you can connect to the ILOM service processor using SSH.

CLIs, User Accounts, and Passwords for Connecting to the ILOM Service Processor

When connecting to the ILOM service processor for the first time using the serial or network management ports, the default CLI is ILOM, the default user account is root, and the default password is changeme. Examples in this document use the default ILOM CLI.

ILOM also provides an Advanced Lights Out Management (ALOM) compatability CLI that uses commands that resemble the ALOM CMT CLI commands. To access the ALOM compatability CLI, you must first create an admin account with the role of administrator. Once you create the admin account, assign the ALOM

80 Sun Netra T5220 Installation Guide • November 2011

compatability CLI as the default CLI (role=administrator, cli=alom). For more information on using the ALOM compatability CLI, refer to the Integrated Lights Out

Management 2.0 (ILOM 2.0) Supplement for Sun Netra T5220 Server.

▼ To Power On the System for the First Time

Tip – The serial terminal or a terminal emulator should be connected before you

connect the power cables, or you will not see the system messages. The server goes into Standby mode and the ILOM service processor initializes as soon as the AC power cables are connected to the power source.

The service processor runs on the 3.3V standby voltage. As soon as AC power is connected to the system, the service processor powers on, runs diagnostics, and initializes the ILOM firmware.

1. Connect a terminal or a terminal emulator (PC or workstation) to the service processor serial management port.

Configure the terminal or terminal emulator with these settings:

■ 9600 baud

■ 8 bits

■ No parity

■ 1 Stop bit

■ No handshake

Note – When you power on the server for the first time and you do not have a

terminal or terminal emulator (PC or workstation) connected to the service processor serial management port, you will not see system messages. After connecting to the server with a terminal or terminal emulator, log in to the ILOM CLI or the ALOM compatability CLI to get to the service processor console.

2. Turn on the terminal or terminal emulator.

3. Connect the AC power cables to Power Supply 0 and Power Supply 1. Watch the terminal for system messages.

▼ To Avoid Booting the Solaris Operating System at Start

In hard drive HDD0, the Solaris OS is preinstalled.

● If you do not want to start the preinstalled OS, set the OBP parameter auto-

boot? to false. For example from the ILOM CLI:

-> bootmode bootscript "setenv auto-boot? false"

Enabling the Service Processor Network Management Port

The service processor network management port is not operational until you configure network settings for the service processor. Configure the service processor in this order:

Chapter 6 Powering On the System 83

1. After the service processor boots, access the ILOM CLI through the serial management port. See “To Log In To the Service Processor Using the Serial

Management Port” on page 84.

2. Configure the service processor. See “Configuring the Service Processor Network

Management Port” on page 86.

3. Commit the changes to the service processor parameters. See Step 7 in “To Power

On the System for the First Time” on page 81.

You can now use the network management port at any time to access the service processor. See “To Log In To the Service Processor Using the Network Management

Port” on page 90.

Logging In To the Service Processor

If you are powering on the system for the first time after installation, use the service processor serial port to power on the system and run POST. See “To Log In To the

Service Processor Using the Serial Management Port” on page 84.

If the network management port has already been configured, you can use it instead of the serial management port. See “To Log In To the Service Processor Using the

Network Management Port” on page 90.

▼ To Log In To the Service Processor Using the

Serial Management Port

After the service processor boots, access the ILOM CLI to configure and manage the system. The ILOM CLI prompt ( processor is booted. The default configuration provides an ILOM CLI root user account. The default root password is changeme. Change the password using the service processor ILOM CLI password command.

Configuring the Service Processor Network Management Port

Note – If your network allows the use of DHCP and SSH, this configuration is

performed automatically the first time you boot the system.

Use this procedure only when:

■ You are unable to use DHCP and SSH on your network.

■ You need to modify the ILOM service processor network management port

settings.

In this procedure, you connect to the ILOM service processor using the serial management port to manually reconfigure the network management port.

Note – For more information on configuring ILOM, refer to the Integrated Lights Out

Management 2.0 (ILOM 2.0) Supplement for Sun Netra T5220 Server.

Set these network parameters according to the specific details of your network configuration:

■ /SP/network state – Specifies whether the service processor is on the network

or not

■ /SP/network pendingipaddress – IP address of the service processor

■ /SP/network pendingipgateway – IP address of the gateway for the subnet

■ /SP/network pendingipnetmask – Netmask for the service processor subnet

■ /SP/network pindingipdiscovery - Specifies whether the service processor

uses DHCP or static IP address assignment

■ /SP/network commitpending - Commits the service processor to use the

pending settings

Configure these parameters with the set command. The usage is as follows:

set target property=value where /SP/network is the target and pendingipaddress=xx.x.xx.xxx, for example, is the property=value. The following

example sets the pending service processor IP address:

-> set /SP/network pendingipaddress=xx.x.xx.xxx

Set 'pendingipaddress' to 'xx.x.xx.xxx'

86 Sun Netra T5220 Installation Guide • November 2011

▼ To Configure the Service Processor Network

Management Port

1. Set the /SP/network state parameter to enabled.

-> set /SP/network state=enabled

Set 'state' to 'enabled'

2. Enable and disable SSH connections as needed.

-> set /SP/services/ssh state=enabled

Set 'state' to 'enabled'

-> set /SP/services/ssh state=disabled

Set 'state' to 'disabled'

See the Integrated Lights Out Management 2.0 (ILOM 2.0) Supplement for Sun Netra T5220 Server for more information about SSH support in ILOM.

3. Choose one of these methods to configure the service processor using information from your network administrator:

■ Use DHCP to retrieve the network settings. Go to Step 4.

■ Configure a static IP configuration. Go to Step 5.

4. If you choose to use DHCP, set pendingipdiscovery to dhcp.

-> set /SP/network pendingipdiscovery=dhcp

Set 'pendingipdiscovery' to 'dhcp'

Go to Step 6.

5. If you choose to use a static IP configuration, set the parameters

pendingipdiscovery, pendingipaddress, pendingipgateway, and pendingipnetmask as follows.

a. Set the service processor to accept a static IP address.

-> set /SP/network pendingipdiscovery=static

Set 'pendingipdiscovery' to 'static'

b. Set the IP address for the service processor.

-> set /SP/network pendingipaddress=service-processor-IPaddr

Set 'pendingipaddress' to 'service-processor-IPaddr'

Chapter 6 Powering On the System 87

c. Set the IP address for the service processor gateway.

-> set /SP/network pendingipgateway=gateway-IPaddr

Set 'pendingipgateway' to 'gateway-IPaddr'

d. Set the netmask for the service processor.

-> set /SP/network pendingipnetmask=255.255.255.0

Set 'pendingipnetmask' to '255.255.255.0'

This example uses 255.255.255.0 to set the netmask. Your network environment subnet might require a different netmask. Use a netmask number most appropriate to your environment.

6. Use the show /SP/network command to verify that the parameters were set correctly.

-> show /SP/network

/SP/network

Targets:

Properties:

commitpending = (Cannot show property) dhcp_server_ip = xx.x.xx.x ipaddress = xx.x.xx.x

ipdiscovery = dhcp ipgateway = xx.x.xx.x

ipnetmask = 255.255.252.0

macaddress = 00:14:4F:3F:8C:AF pendingipaddress = xx.x.xx.x

pendingipdiscovery = static pendingipgateway = xx.x.xx.x

pendingipnetmask = 255.255.255.0

state = enabled

Commands:

set

show

Note – After setting the configuration parameters, you must enter the set

/SP/network commitpending=true command for the new values to take affect.

88 Sun Netra T5220 Installation Guide • November 2011

7. Commit the changes to the service processor network parameters.

-> set /SP/network commitpending=true

Set 'commitpending' to 'true'

▼ To Reset the Service Processor

It is not necessary to reset the service processor for new network values to take effect. To commit the changes to the service processor network parameters, use the set /SP/network commitpending=true command. See Step 7 in “Configuring

the Service Processor Network Management Port” on page 86.

● Type the reset /SP command.

You are prompted to confirm that you want to reset the service processor. Reply y when prompted.

-> reset /SP Are you sure you want to reset /SP (y/n)? y

Note – You can specify the -script option to bypass the confirmation question, for

example, reset -script /SP.

The service processor resets, runs diagnostics, and returns to the login prompt.
