Communicating With the System
This section includes information on low-level communication with the system,
using the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) tool andthe system console.
■ “ILOM Overview” on page 1
■ “Log In to ILOM” on page 2
■ “Log In to the System Console” on page 3
■ “Display the ok Prompt” on page 3
■ “Display the ILOM ->Prompt” on page 4
■ “Use a Local Graphics Monitor” on page 5
ILOM Overview
The ILOM service processor runs independently of the server and regardless of the
system power state as long as AC power is connected to the system. When you
connect your server to AC power, the ILOM service processor immediately starts up,
and begins monitoring the system. All environmental monitoring and control is
handled by ILOM
The -> prompt indicates that you are interacting with the ILOM service processor
directly. This prompt is the first prompt you see when you log in to the system
through the serial management port or network management port, regardless of the
host’s power state.
You can also access the ILOM service processor prompt (->) from the OpenBoot ok
prompt, or from the Solaris # or % prompt, provided the system console is configured
to be accessible through the serial management and network management ports.
The ILOM service processor supports a total of five concurrent sessions per server,
four SSH connections available through the network management port and one
connection available through the serial management port.

▼Use a Local Graphics Monitor
Though it is not recommended, the system console can be redirected to the graphics
frame buffer. You cannot use a local graphics monitor to perform initial system
installation, nor can you use a local graphics monitor to view power-on self-test
(POST) messages.
To install a local graphics monitor, you must have the following items:
■ Supported PCI-based graphics accelerator card and software driver
■ Monitor with appropriate resolution to support the frame buffer
■ Supported USB keyboard
■ Supported USB mouse
1. Install the graphics card into an appropriate PCI slot.
Installation must be performed by a qualified service provider. For further
information, refer to the service manual for your server or contact your qualified
service provider.
2. Attach the monitor’s video cable to the graphics card’s video port.
Tighten the thumbscrews to secure the connection.
3. Connect the monitor’s power cord to an AC outlet.
4. Connect the USB keyboard cable to one USB port.
5. Connect the USB mouse cable to another USB port on the Sun SPARC
Enterprise T5120 or T5220 server.
6. “Display the ok Prompt” on page 3
7. Set OpenBoot configuration variables appropriately.
From the existing system console, type:
ok setenv input-device keyboard
ok setenv output-device screen
Communicating With the System5
Note – There are many other system configuration variables. Although these
variables do not affect which hardware device is used to access the system console,
some of the variables affect which diagnostic tests the system runs and which
messages the system displays at its console. For details, refer to the service manual
for your server.
8. To cause the changes to take effect, type:
ok reset-all
The system stores the parameter changes and boots automatically when the
OpenBoot configuration variable auto-boot? is set to true (the default value).
Note – To cause the parameter changes to take effect, you can also power cycle the
system using the front panel Power button.
You can now type system commands and view system messages using your local
graphics monitor. Continue with your installation or diagnostic procedure, as
needed.

Managing Disks
This section describes how to configure and manage RAID disk volumes using the
Sun SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 server’s on-board serial attached SCSI (SAS)
disk controller, and how to hot-plug a disk.
■ “Hardware RAID Support” on page 13
■ “Creating Hardware RAID Volumes” on page 14
■ “Delete a Hardware RAID Volume” on page 25
■ “Hot-Plug a Mirrored Disk” on page 28
■ “Hot-Plug a Nonmirrored Disk” on page 30
■ “Disk Slot Numbers” on page 35
Hardware RAID Support
RAID technology enables the construction of a logical volume, made up of several
physical disks, in order to provide data redundancy, increased performance, or both.
The Sun SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 server’s on-board disk controller
supports both RAID 0 (striping) and RAID 1 (mirroring) volumes using the Solaris
OS raidctl utility.
To configure and use RAID disk volumes on the Sun SPARC Enterprise T5140 and
T5240 servers, you must install the appropriate patches. For the latest information on
patches, see the product notes for your system.
Volume migration (relocating all RAID volume disk members from one Sun SPARC
T5120 or T5220 chassis) is not supported. If you must perform this operation, contact
your service provider.
The Sun SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 servers can also be configured with a
Sun StorageTek SAS RAID HBA. To manage RAID volumes on servers configured
with these controllers, see the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager’s Software User’s Guide.

Creating Hardware RAID Volumes
Caution – Creating RAID volumes using the on-board disk controller destroys all
data on member disks.

▼ Create a Hardware Mirrored Volume
1. Verify which hard drive corresponds with which logical device name and
physical device name, using the raidctl command:
In this example, a single volume (c1t0d0) has been enabled.
The Sun SPARC Enterprise T5120 or T5220 server’s on-board SAS controller can
configure as many as two RAID volumes. Prior to volume creation, ensure that the
member disks are available and that there are not two volumes already created.
The RAID status might be:
■ OPTIMAL – Indicating that the RAID volume is online and fully synchronized.
■ SYNC – Indicating that the data between the primary and secondary member
disks in an IM are still synchronizing.
■ DEGRADED – Indicating that a member disk is failed or otherwise offline.
Managing Disks15
■ FAILED – Indicating that volume should be deleted and reinitialized. This
failure can occur when any member disk in an IS volume is lost, or when both
disks are lost in an IM volume.
The Disk Status column displays the status of each physical disk. Each member
disk might be GOOD, indicating that it is online and functioning properly, or it
might be FAILED, indicating that the disk has hardware or configuration issues
that need to be addressed.
For example, an IM with a secondary disk that has been removed from the chassis
appears as:
# raidctl -l c1t0d0
Volume Size Stripe Status Cache RAID
Sub Size Level
Disk
---------------------------------------------------------------c1t0d0 136.6G N/A DEGRADED OFF RAID1
0.1.0 136.6G GOOD
N/A 136.6G FAILED
See the raidctl(1M) man page for additional details regarding volume and disk
status.
Note – The logical device names might appear differently on your system,
depending on the number and type of add-on disk controllers installed.
16Sun SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 Servers Administration Guide • December 2010
2. Type the following command:

The creation of the RAID volume is interactive, by default. For example:
# raidctl -c c1t0d0 c1t1d0
Creating RAID volume c1t0d0 will destroy all data on member disks,
proceed (yes/no)? yes
...
Volume c1t0d0 is created successfully!
#
As an alternative, you can use the –f option to force the creation if you are sure of
the member disks and sure that the data on both member disks can be lost. For
example:
# raidctl -f -c c1t0d0 c1t1d0
Volume c1t0d0 is created successfully!
#
When you create a RAID mirror, the secondary drive (in this case, c1t1d0)
disappears from the Solaris device tree.

The disk controller synchronizes IM volumes one at a time. If you create a second
IM volume before the first IM volume completes its synchronization, the first
volume’s RAID status will indicate SYNC, and the second volume’s RAID status
will indicate OPTIMAL. Once the first volume has completed, its RAID status
changes to OPTIMAL, and the second volume automatically starts synchronizing,
with a RAID status of SYNC.
Under RAID 1 (disk mirroring), all data is duplicated on both drives. If a disk
fails, replace it with a working drive and restore the mirror. For instructions, see
“Delete a Hardware RAID Volume” on page 25.
For more information about the raidctl utility, see the raidctl(1M) man page.

▼ Create a Hardware Mirrored Volume of the
Default Boot Device
Due to the volume initialization that occurs on the disk controller when a new
volume is created, the volume must be configured and labeled using the format(1M)
utility prior to use with the Solaris Operating System (see “Configure a Hardware
RAID Volume for the Solaris OS” on page 22). Because of this limitation,
raidctl(1M) blocks the creation of a hardware RAID volume if any of the member
disks currently have a file system mounted.
This section describes the procedure required to create a hardware RAID volume
containing the default boot device. Since the boot device always has a mounted file
system when booted, an alternate boot medium must be employed, and the volume
created in that environment. One alternate medium is a network installation image in
single-user mode. (Refer to the Solaris 10 Installation Guide for information about
configuring and using network-based installations.)
1. Determine which disk is the default boot device.
From the OpenBoot ok prompt, type the printenv command, and if necessary
the devalias command, to identify the default boot device. For example:
ok printenv boot-device
boot-device = disk
ok devalias disk
disk /pci@0/pci@0/pci@2/scsi@0/disk@0,0
2. Type the boot net –s command.
ok boot net –s
3. Once the system has booted, use the raidctl(1M) utility to create a hardware
mirrored volume, using the default boot device as the primary disk.
See “Create a Hardware Mirrored Volume” on page 15. For example:
# raidctl -c –r 1 c1t0d0 c1t1d0
Creating RAID volume c1t0d0 will destroy all data on member disks,
proceed (yes/no)? yes
...
Volume c1t0d0 is created successfully!
#
Managing Disks19
4. Install the volume with the Solaris OS using any supported method.
The hardware RAID volume c1t0d0 appears as a disk to the Solaris installation
program.
Note – The logical device names might appear differently on your system,
depending on the number and type of add-on disk controllers installed.

Volume c1t3d0 is created successfully!
#
When you create a RAID striped volume, the other member drives (in this case,
c1t2d0 and c1t3d0) disappear from the Solaris device tree.
As an alternative, you can use the –f option to force the creation if you are sure of
the member disks and sure that the data on all other member disks can be lost. For
example:
# raidctl -f -c -r 0 c1t1d0 c1t2d0 c1t3d0
...
Volume c1t3d0 is created successfully!
#
3. To verify the existence of a RAID volume, type the following command:
4. To check the status of a RAID striped volume, type the following command:
# raidctl -l c1t3d0
Volume Size Stripe Status Cache RAID

Disk
---------------------------------------------------------------c1t3d0 N/A 64K OPTIMAL OFF RAID0
0.3.0 N/A GOOD
0.4.0 N/A GOOD
0.5.0 N/A GOOD
The example shows that the RAID striped volume is online and functioning.
Under RAID 0 (disk striping), there is no replication of data across drives. The
data is written to the RAID volume across all member disks in a round-robin
fashion. If any one disk is lost, all data on the volume is lost. For this reason, RAID
0 cannot be used to ensure data integrity or availability, but can be used to
increase write performance in some scenarios.
For more information about the raidctl utility, see the raidctl(1M) man page.
Note – The logical device names might appear differently on your system,
depending on the number and type of add-on disk controllers installed.

The format utility might generate messages about corruption of the current label
on the volume, which you are going to change. You can safely ignore these
messages.
2. Select the disk name that represents the RAID volume that you have configured.
In this example, c1t2d0 is the logical name of the volume.

Disk Slot Numbers
To perform a disk hot-plug procedure, you must know the physical or logical device
name for the drive that you want to install or remove. If your system encounters a
disk error, often you can find messages about failing or failed disks in the system
console. This information is also logged in the /var/adm/messages files.
These error messages typically refer to a failed hard drive by its physical device
name (such as /devices/pci@1f,700000/scsi@2/sd@1,0) or by its logical
device name (such as c1t1d0). In addition, some applications might report a disk
slot number (0 through 3).
You can use the following table to associate internal disk slot numbers with the
logical and physical device names for each hard drive.

† The USB node string (storage) changes based on the kind of device that is connected to the USB port. For example, if you connect
a keyboard, the storage string changes to keyboard.
Multipathing software enables you to define and control redundant physical paths to
I/O devices such as storage devices and network interfaces. If the active path to a
device becomes unavailable, the software can automatically switch to an alternate
path to maintain availability. This capability is known as automatic failover. To take
advantage of multipathing capabilities, you must configure the server with
redundant hardware, such as redundant network interfaces or two host bus adapters
connected to the same dual-ported storage array.
For the Sun SPARC Enterprise T5120 or T5220 servers, three different types of
multipathing software are available:
■ Solaris IP Network Multipathing software provides multipathing and
load-balancing capabilities for IP network interfaces.
40Sun SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 Servers Administration Guide • December 2010
■ VERITAS Volume Manager (VVM) software includes a feature called Dynamic
Multipathing (DMP), which provides disk multipathing as well as disk load
balancing to optimize I/O throughput.
■ Sun StorageTek™ Traffic Manager is an architecture fully integrated within the
Solaris OS (beginning with the Solaris 8 release) that enables I/O devices to be
accessed through multiple host controller interfaces from a single instance of the
I/O device.

Multipathing, consult the IP Network Multipathing Administration Guide provided
with your specific Solaris release.

Automatic System Recovery
The system provides for Automatic System Recovery (ASR) from failures in memory
modules or PCI cards.
Automatic System Recovery functionality enables the system to resume operation
after experiencing certain nonfatal hardware faults or failures. When ASR is enabled,
the system’s firmware diagnostics automatically detect failed hardware components.
An autoconfiguring capability designed into the system firmware enables the system
to unconfigure failed components and to restore system operation. As long as the
system is capable of operating without the failed component, the ASR features enable
the system to reboot automatically, without operator intervention.
Note – ASR is not activated until you enable it. See “Enable ASR” on page 47.
For more information about ASR, refer to the service manual for your server.

Managing Logical Domains
Software
Oracle’s Sun SPARC Enterprise servers support the Logical Domains (LDoms)
software that is used to create and manage logical domains. The software comprises
LDoms-enabling code in the Solaris OS, LDoms-enabling code in System Firmware,
and the Logical Domains Manager, which is the command-line interface. See your
LDoms documentation for the latest information.
■ “Logical Domains Software” on page 51
■ “Logical Domain Configurations” on page 52
Logical Domains Software
LDoms software enables you to create and manage as many as 32 logical domains,
depending on the hardware configuration of the server on which the Logical
Domains Manager has been installed. You can virtualize resources and define
network, storage, and other I/O devices as services that can be shared between
domains.
51
A logical domain is a discrete logical grouping with its own operating systems,
resources, and identity within a single computer system. Applications software can
run in logical domains. Each logical domain can be created, destroyed, reconfigured,
and rebooted independently. There are several roles that logical domains can perform
as shown in the following table.
TABLE:Logical Domain Roles
Domain RoleDescription
Control domainDomain in which the Logical Domains Manager runs, enabling you to
create and manage other logical domains and allocate virtual resources to
other domains. There can be only one control domain per server. The
initial domain created when installing Logical Domains software is a
control domain and is named primary.
Service domainDomain that provides virtual device services to other domains, such as a
virtual switch, a virtual console concentrator, and a virtual disk server.
I/O domainDomain that has direct ownership of and direct access to physical I/O
devices, such as a network card in a PCI Express controller. Shares the
devices to other domains in the form of virtual devices. You can have a
maximum of two I/O domains, one of which also must be the control
domain.
Guest domainDomain that is managed by the control domain and uses services from the
I/O and service domains.
Related Information
■ “Logical Domain Configurations” on page 52
Logical Domain Configurations
The Logical Domain configurations are stored on the service processor (SP). Using
Logical Domains Manager CLI commands, you can add a configuration, specify a
configuration to be used, and list the configurations on the service processor. You can
also use the ILOM set /HOST/bootmode config=configfile command to specify an
LDoms boot configuration. For further information about /HOST/bootmode, see
your server’s ILOM supplement.
