Topics covered in this section include:
Rackmount Options and Requirements on page 5
I/O Connectivity on page 5
Management Ethernet Network on page 6
Operating System Support and Installation on page 6
System Management Tools on page 7
Rackmount Options and Requirements

You can install the Sun Blade 6000 chassis into the following Sun racks and cabinets:
Sun Rack 1000 cabinet family (72 inches/184 cm tall)
Sun StorEdge (72 inch/184 cm/tall) expansion cabinet
19-inch EIA-compliant industry standard rack enclosure
For each Sun Blade 6000 chassis you want to rackmount, you will need a rackmount
kit. A rackmount kit is enclosed in the Sun Blade 6000 chassis packaging. This kit
contains rackmount rails and hardware.
I/O Connectivity
The Sun Blade 6000 modular system provides flexible I/O connectivity through a
combination of network express modules (NEMs) and PCI ExpressModules (PCI
EMs). This section describes these modules and the benefits they provide.
The initial NEM to be offered for the Sun Blade 6000 Modular System is a Gigabit
Ethernet model. Each Gigabit Ethernet NEM provides ten 10/100/1000 BASE-T
Ethernet copper interfaces, one dedicated to each server module. The NEMs are hotswappable modules, allowing system administrators to easily add or remove them
as needed, without powering down the system.
The PCI EMs are designed to offer independent, dedicated I/O functions
configurable on a per server module basis. The PCI EM format is a standard
developed by the PCI-SIG standards organization. The chassis midplane implements
PCI-Express connectivity between the PCI EMs and server modules, and assigns two
PCI EMs to each server module. The PCI EMs are fully hot-swappable, allowing
system administrators to easily replace PCI EMs. Like the NEMs, PCI EMs can be
installed in a live system without any modification to the connected server module.
The Sun Blade 6000 modular system supports industry-standard, hot-swappable PCI
EMs. At initial release of the Sun Blade 6000 modular system, Sun provides the
following PCI EMs:
Fibre Channel dual-port PCI ExpressModule
Ethernet dual-port PCI ExpressModule
Infiniband dual-port PCI ExpressModule
Chapter 1
Flexible I/O Configurations

With the Sun Blade 6000 modular system, you can implement a combination of I/O
modules. For instance, it is possible to have one server module configured with a
redundant pair of Fibre Channel PCI EMs, another server module configured with a
single InfiniBand PCI EM, and a Gigabit Ethernet NEM offering homogeneous I/O
functions to all server modules in the chassis.
You can easily change the I/O configurations in the Sun Blade 6000 modular system
by simply swapping out any PCI EM or NEM.
You can install up to 20 PCI EMs (Ethernet, IB, and/or FC) and up to 2 10-port
Ethernet NEMs in the system chassis. All I/O modules can be used to provide
connectivity to the following three types of networks:
Local area networks
Storage area networks (SANs)
High-bandwidth low-latency networks used in clustering
Management Ethernet Network

The Sun Blade 6000 modular system offers various methods for managing chassis
components and server modules. All system management access is through a
management port on the chassis management module (CMM). Internally, the CMM
contains an Ethernet switch forming an internal Ethernet network. This internal
network connects the CMM, server module service processors (SPs), and external
Ethernet ports to enable full system management across an Ethernet LAN.
Refer to the Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) Administration Guide for Sun Blade
6000 Modular Server, 820-0052, for specific details on Sun Blade 6000 server
management.
Operating System Support and Installation

Sun installs the Solaris 10 Operating System on some server module hard disk
drives (HDDs) before they are shipped to you. On these HDDs, the latest drivers are
preloaded and integrated with the factory-installed Solaris 10 Operating System. The
normal installation process is shortened for the factory-installed Solaris 10 Operating
System. Installation parameters required include: locale, time zone, root password,
and network settings.
Additional operating systems are also supported. Refer to the server module-specific
documentation for further information on configuring preinstalled Solaris 10 and
installing alternative operating system.
System Management Tools

The Sun Blade 6000 modular system supports the Integrated Lights Out Manager
(ILOM) system management tool. With ILOM, you can monitor and manage the Sun
Blade 6000 modular system by viewing hardware configurations, monitoring system
information, managing system alerts, and more. It offers a command-line interface
(CLI) ILOM that is installed on the CMM service processor, which automatically
initializes as soon as power is applied to the chassis. It will also continue to run
regardless of the state of the host operating system on the server module.
System Management Levels and Capabilities

The Sun Blade 6000 modular system enables you to easily control and monitor all
system management operations at the following two levels:
Server module level. At the server module level, you can individually manage
system operations by communicating directly with the service processor on each
server module. Specific management operations at the server module level
include:
Viewing applicable environmental sensors
Taking inventory of the server module itself, CPUs, DIMMs, and PCI EMs
Enabling the download of SP firmware and BIOS images
Chassis management module (CMM) level. At the chassis monitoring level, you
can manage system operations for all shared chassis components by
communicating directly with the CMM. Chassis-specific management operations
include:
Viewing environmental controls of all chassis components
Managing the inventory of hot-insertion and hot-removal of chassis

components
Drilling down to server module-level specific settings
Configuring network settings for each server module
In addition to administering specific management operations at the server module

level and chassis level, you can direct the following common management
operations at both levels:
Network setup/DHCP client configurations. Assign an IP address or configure

DHCP.
Hardware monitoring and management of system. Retrieve information about

hardware such as sensors and temperatures.
Event filtering and notification. Control the severity of events and event
notification settings.
Audit changes. View a log of changes made to the system configuration.

Chapter 1
Role-based user management. Assign users to roles and manage role-based

permission.
LDAP client configuration. Configure IP address of LDAP server, authentication

setup, and role mapping.
RADIUS client configuration. Configure IP address of RADIUS server,

authentication key setup, and role mapping.
SNMP agent configuration. Configure SNMP user management, community

string setup, and trap configuration.
Clock or NTP configuration. Configure the time locally or configure the use of an
NTP client.

Assignment of PCI EM Data Port MAC Addresses per Server Module

Prior to installing a Gigabit Ethernet PCI EM into the Sun Blade 6000 chassis, you
need to record the MAC address for each PCI EM port for future reference. This
section contains details on obtaining the MAC address for a PCI EM.
All PCI EMs are shipped with unique MAC address for each port. The Gigabit
Ethernet PCI EM, for example, will have two unique port MAC addresses assigned
one for each RJ-45 data port. The MAC address for each PCI EM port is printed
on the PCI EM board, for example:
00:14:4F:nn:nn:nn
Where nn = the unique MAC address digits for each PCI EM data port
You will need to open the PCI EM cover to see the MAC address label.
Each server module corresponds to two PCI EM slots. On the rear panel of each PCI
EM there are two RJ-45 data ports one RJ-45 per network device interface. Each
RJ-45 data port corresponds to a server module. Each server module corresponds up
to four RJ-45 PCI EM data ports (two PCI EMs per server module).
The PCI EM MAC addresses are sequentially assigned to the PCI EM ports, starting
at the lowest port and ending at the highest port. For example:
If the port MAC addresses printed on a Gigabit Ethernet PCI EM were:

00:14:4F:C4:FC:33 and 00:14:4F:C4:FC:34
Where the bottom PCI EM RJ-45 port is labeled 0.0, the MAC address for port
0.0 would be 00:14:4FC4:FC:33
Where the top PCI EM RJ-45 port is labeled 0.1, the MAC address for port 0.1
would be 00:14:4F:C4:FC:34
The physical PCI EM port MAC address will not change. However, the logical name
assigned by an operating system (Solaris, Windows 2003 Server, or Linux) to an RJ45 PCI EM port will be different from the physical MAC address. Information
regarding how to configure multiple network interfaces (by their logical names)
during an OS installation is discussed in the documentation for the server modules.

CHAPTER
Configuring the Sun Blade 6000

Modular System Management
Network
This chapter describes how to configure the chassis monitoring module (CMM) with
an IP address using the Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM). Specifically, it
walks you through the steps of establishing a connection with a CMM using ILOM.
It then describes how to configure the CMM with static or dynamic (DHCP) IP
addresses.
Topics discussed in this chapter include:
What Is The Integrated Lights-Out Manager? on page 44

43
What Is The Integrated Lights-Out

Manager?
The Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) is a built-in system management tool
that enables you to monitor and manage the components installed in the Sun Blade
6000 chassis. The ILOM is accessed through the CMM service processor. For
instance, in CMM ILOM, you can configure network information, view and edit
hardware configurations, monitor vital system information, and manage user
accounts.
Note The term CMM ILOM is used in this document to refer to the ILOM that
runs on the Sun Blade 6000 modular system CMM service processor. For information
on server management systems specific to the server modules installed in the Sun
Blade 6000 chassis, see the server module documentation.
The CMM ILOM is accessible through command-line interfaces (CLI) and IPMI
interfaces.
Any user with a valid user account can access the CMM ILOM. The first time you
access CMM ILOM, you need to use the preconfigured ILOM administrator account.
Some server modules that are installed in the Sun Blade 6000 chassis use a different
management software. Refer to the documentation included with the server module
for information on server module management.
For more information about the tasks you can perform in the CMM ILOM, see
System Management Levels and Capabilities on page 7. For more information
about the preconfigured ILOM administrator account, see About the Preconfigured
CMM ILOM Administrator Account on page 44.
About the Preconfigured CMM ILOM

Administrator Account
The Sun Blade 6000 modular system ships with one preconfigured CMM ILOM
administrator account:
User name: root
Password: changeme
44
The preconfigured administrator account, known as root, cannot be deleted or

changed, other than changing its default password. This account offers built-in
administrative privileges (read and write access) to all CMM ILOM functions,
features, and commands.
The first time you access ILOM at the CMM level or server module level you need to
log in as root with the default password changeme. After you have logged into
CMM ILOM and established network connectivity to the system, change the
password associated with the ILOM root account to prevent your system from
unauthorized access.
For more information about resetting the ILOM root account password, see
Changing the CMM ILOM Root Account Password with CLI on page 51.
Establishing an Initial Connection to the

CMM ILOM
To set up CMM and server module(s) with initial network configuration
information, you must establish a connection through ILOM to the CMM. Until the
CMM has an IP address assigned to it, you must initially use a serial connection to
communicate with the CMM. After establishing a serial connection to the CMM, you
can choose to configure the CMM and server module(s) with static or DHCP IP
addresses.
About DHCP IP Assignment

When you first apply power, the CMM ILOM broadcasts a DHCP request for an IP
address. If a DHCP server receives this request, it will supply an address and other
network information. If server modules are powered up at the same time, they also
broadcast the DHCP request and receive individual IP addresses.
About Static IP Assignment

If you want to use static addresses instead of the dynamic addresses provided by
your DHCP server, you can assign the static IP address at the following times:
Prior to attaching a LAN cable to the NET MGT port of the CMM
After the module(s) have been initially assigned an DHCP IP address. You can
change the DHCP assigned address to a static IP address.
Chapter 4
45
About the Initial Serial Console Connection

Whether static or DHCP IP addresses are assigned, you must initially establish a
serial console connection to communicate with the CMM ILOM. For example:
For DHCP assigned IP addresses. Attach a serial console to the CMM to initially
determine the IP addresses assigned to the CMM and server module(s). After
learning the IP addresses, you can communicate with the CMM and server
modules through ILOM over the Ethernet connection (using the assigned IP
address) from any remote network client (web browser GUI or for the server
module or CLI only for the CMM).
For static assigned IP addresses. Establish a serial connection to the active CMM
to initially assign static IP addresses. If the CMM or server module(s) were
previously assigned a static or DHCP IP address, a serial connection would not be
necessary to change the existing address. Any serial or Ethernet connection to the
CMM or server module using an existing IP address would enable you to log into
CMM ILOM and change the assigned IP address(es).
Communicating With CMM ILOM Using the

Management Network IP Addresses
After the CMM has been assigned IP addresses, use these IP addresses to
communicate with CMM ILOM. Specifically, the network management IP addresses
is the IP address assigned to the service processor of the CMM.
Note that in addition to the management network IP addresses, you will also have
IP addresses associated with the data network. The data network IP addresses are
configured after installing the host operating system on a server module. It is
important to distinguish the data network IP addresses from the management
network IP addresses since they both serve different purposes.
You need to specify the IP address of the CMM when you want to perform
management operations at the chassis level. To perform management operations at a
server module level, you need to specify the IP addresses of the server module SP.
For further information on specifying IP addresses for the server modules, refer to
the server module documentation. For a quick list of management tasks you can
perform at the chassis level see System Management Levels and Capabilities on
page 7.
46
Assigning IP Addresses for the First Time

This section includes the following topics:
Using DHCP to Initially Assign All IP Addresses on page 48
Assigning a Static IP Address to a CMM Through a Serial Connection on

page 49.
Prerequisites
Prior to assigning IP addresses, ensure that you have completed the following
installation tasks:
Unpacked and completed the hardware and cabling setup of the Sun Blade 6000
modular system. For details, see Chapter 1, Chapter 2, and Chapter 3.
Attached an Ethernet cable to the NET MGT port on rear panel of the CMM. For
details, see Attaching CMM Network Management Cables on page 36.
Established console access to the CMM (or server module) through a serial
connection. For details, see Attaching a Serial Console to a CMM on page 39.
Configured serial settings:
8N1: eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit
9600 baud
Disable hardware flow control (CTS/RTS)
Disable software flow control (XON/XOFF)
Ensured that the main power was applied to the chassis and the server modules.
For details, see Powering On the System Chassis for the First Time on page 40.
Note If you intend to have DHCP IP addresses assigned, you need to have an
established DHCP server on the same local network as the Sun Blade 6000 modular
system. Setting up a DHCP server is out of the scope of this guide. See the
documentation supplied with the DHCP server software.
Chapter 4
47
Using DHCP to Initially Assign All IP

Addresses
Follow these instructions when using DHCP to assign IP addresses
1. Verify that your DHCP server is configured to accept new media access control
(MAC) addresses. Refer to the documentation supplied with your DHCP server
software.
2. Verify that the Ethernet cable is plugged into the NET MGT port on the active
CMM.
As long as CMM ILOM was not configured previously with a static IP, CMM
ILOM automatically broadcasts a DHCPDISCOVER packet with the ID of its
CMM MAC address and server module MAC address(es).
The DHCP server on your network returns the DHCPOFFER packet containing
the IP address and other information. The CMM then manages its lease of IP
addresses assigned by the DHCP server.
3. To obtain the DHCP IP addresses assigned to the CMM and server module SPs,
use one of the following methods:
ILOM-CMM via serial connection

Using a serial console attached to the rear panel of the CMM, log into CMM
ILOM as the administrator. For example, at the login prompt, type the
preconfigured administrator username root and its default password changeme,
and then press Enter.
To set the working directory for the active CMM, type:

cd /CMM/network
To view the active CMM IP address, type:

show
To drill down and view the IP addresses of each server module, type:
show /CH/BLx/SP/network
Note BLx represents the server module installed in slot BL-0. To specify the target
server module, you must specify the slot number of where the module is installed.
Server module slots range from 0 to 9.
DHCP server logs

Refer to the DHCP server documentation for details.
Note Refer to the server module documentation for more information on

assigning a DHCP address to a server module SP.
48
Assigning a Static IP Address to a CMM

Through a Serial Connection
Follow these instructions when assigning a static IP address to a CMM through a
serial connection:
1. Verify that your serial connection to the active CMM is operational.

For information about attaching a serial console to a CMM, see Attaching a Serial
Console to a CMM on page 39.
2. Log into CMM ILOM as an administrator by entering an administrator user name
and password, and then press Enter.
Tip You can log into CMM ILOM using the preconfigured administrator account
shipped with ILOM: root/changeme. For more details, see About the
Preconfigured CMM ILOM Administrator Account on page 44.
The default prompt appears (->) and the system is ready for you to run the CLI
commands to establish network settings.
3. To set a static IP address on the CMM through ILOM using the CLI, type the
following command to set the working directory:
cd /CMM/network
