Section 2 – Common hardware basics
Connecting to Sun Systems
If your Sun system has a full graphics screen, keyboard and mouse, all
diagnostic information will be output on the graphics screen, and all user
interaction will be through the keyboard and mouse.
If you system has no graphics screen, then a laptop or serial terminal

connected to the serial port must be used instead.
Older Sun systems have 2 unmanaged serial ports labelled A and B, known as
ttya and ttyb (tty = teletype) and the output from Power On Self Test (POST)
is from ttya.
Newer Sun systems have a Serial Management port in addition to one or two
serial ports. In these systems, all management is via the Serial Management
port.
Port Settings
 9600 baud
 8 bit
 1 stop bit
 no parity
Port Form factor
Most unmanaged ports use 25-way or 9-way D type connectors and you may
need to vary the cable pin-outs depending on the system you want to connect
to.
For managed ports a Cisco Rollover cable will work.
Connecting using a laptop PC
Download and install a serial client. PuTTY is recommended.
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/
Configure a session to match the port settings above.

The session should immediately connect with the port.
19
Connecting using an Apple Mac
You need an usb to serial converter

Open a terminal session
sudo bash
password
cu –l /dev/cu.usbdriver -s 9600
Connected
Connecting using another Sun system
Use the ttya port on the system you are connecting from.
Within the connecting system’s Solaris, login as root, then edit the
/etc/remote file. Change hardwire from /dev/term/ to /dev/term/a as below:
bash-3.00# more /etc/remote

Lights Out Management
If you are dealing with a Serial Management port, the initial connection will
be to a management device such as a Lights Out Management (LOM) card or
a System Controller (SC). The LOM or SC can display system information, but
the functionality of the LOM or SC varies from system to system. The LOM or
SC can also be used to open a console session to the system itself.
Sun implemented several flavours of Lights Out Management in the

Midrange:
Advanced Lights Out Management (ALOM)

Integrated Lights Out Management (ILOM)
Embedded Lights Out Management (ELOM)
System Controller (SC)
eXtended System Control Facility (XSCF)
There are variants within these flavours depending on the version of the
individual LOM software and of the system model. LOMlite is another flavour
but is not used in the systems covered by this course.

LOM Commands
Each flavour of LOM has a set of commands that are entirely different from
the other flavours. The commands are listed in the Sun documentation for
that flavour of LOM and there are help functions within the live LOM
instance. Each LOM requires the user to log in. For best security the system
administrator should have changed and recorded the LOM passwords, but
there are factory set ones that may work. The most useful and most used
LOM function is to open and close a console session into the system itself.

28
ILOM – login and commands
ILOM is more complex than ALOM. It’s a LINUX variant that boots from a
chip. It has a file and directory structure, and the commands are embedded in
the structure. You need to navigate around to find the commands you want to
run.
At the top level there are three directories:
/SYS which contains system control functions

/SP this contains the Service Processor commands
/HOST which contains individual system information
ILOM has 2 user interfaces:

 Command Line Interface (CLI)
 Browser User Interface (BUI) also known as a webGUI.
The CLI is usable via the Serial Management port with no further
configuration.
Default login root

Default password changeme
LOM prompt ->
Help help
Commands Too many to list here but useful ones are:
Power on the System

-> start /SYS
Power off the system
-> stop /SYS
Reset the system
-> reset /SYS
It is safe to reset the SP with the server running.
->reset /SP
To exit a console ESC ( Escape shift-9

To open a console -> cd /SP/console
-> start
Or
-> start /SP/console
29
The BUI is designed to be used as part of a system control network, whereby
a remote system administrator can power cycle systems etc without being on-
site The Network controller must be set up before BUI is usable
To setup network on the system controller connect via the serial port:
login:root
password:changeme
-> cd /SP/network
-> set pendingipaddress=192.168.2.2
-> set pendingipnetmask=255.255.255.0
-> set pendingipgateway=192.168.2.1
-> set pendingipdiscovery=static 
-> set commitpending=true
You can now either open a browser
hpps://192.168.2.2
or ssh onto the SC
#ssh root@192.168.2.2
The same commands are available in both CLI and BUI.
30
The SunFire System Controller (SC)
The SC is that hardware to which you connect. The SC runs a real -time
operating system which boots up when power is applied to the system chassis.
The SC runs a software application called ScApp which in turn responds to
the commands you issue at the serial port.
SunFire systems have a concept of a Platform and Domains, which respond to

SC commands. The Platform is the “frame” of the system. The SC can
assemble system boards (Uniboards) into logical systems (Domains) within a
Platform. A Solaris instance runs on each individual Domain.
A maximum of 4 domains are possible depending on the model.
From an SC point of view they are labelled a, b, c and d.
Some commands are platform specific and some are domain specific.
There are several “shells” that accept command input and are use to control
the system.
Platform Shell – control platform level activity

Domain Shell – one per configured domain to control domain level
activity
When you first connect to the SC you will be at the Platform shell.
Navigating between shells:
From to Command
Platform Domain console –d [A, B, C, D]
Domain Platform disconnect
Domain OBP break (after 'setkeyswitch on ' had been run)
OBP Domain Serial connection ctrl ] or ~#
Telnet connection ctrl ] or send break
Ssh connection #.
Solaris Domain resume (after O/S was brought up via 'boot' command)
31
Hardware Power Control
Powering-on hardware:
Connect to the Main SC and enter 0 to get to the platform shell.
shell Command Effect

platform poweron all Powers on the platform
platform showboards -v Verify platform power-on
domain console -d [a, b, c or d Switch to domain console
domain setkeyswitch on Powers on the domain, starts POST
domain showkeyswitch Verify domain power on
Once POST is complete you should get the OK prompt and be able to run
standard OBP commands and to boot each domain.
Powering- off a domain:
Note – To avoid file system corruption, Solaris MUST be shut down by the
appropriate system administrator BEFORE powering off a domain.

domain setkeyswitch off Powers off the domain (takes a
while)
Powering-off the platform:
Note –All domains must be powered-off before the platform can be powered
off.

platform poweroff all Powers off the platform
32
System Controller Housekeeping Tasks
Update SC firmware: (from platform shell on the SC)
>flashupdate -y -f ftp://root:password@host_ip/path_to_new_firmware all rtos
Run this command from the platform shell.

This command will not update the Spare SC.
To update the Spare SC, you must make it the primary or run the command
from the Spare SC.
To copy firmware between like boards
>flashupdate -c <source board> <replacement board>
Save SC configuration: (from platform shell on the SC)
> dumpconfig - f ftp://root:password@host_ip/path_to_dumpdir
Restore SC Configuration: (from platform shell on the SC)
> restoreconfig - f ftp://root:password@host_ip/path_to_dumpdir
Platform and Domain Configuration Commands
To create/modify Platform: (from platform shell on the SC)
> setupplatform (enter information and modify ACLs .
For each domain use deleteboard and addboard - d commands
To create/modify Domain: (from Domain shell on the SC)
> setupdomain (enter information. Defaults in [ ]s

To Setup remote logging:
In setupplatform:
>Syslog loghost [ ] : ip_of_adminStation

>Log Facility [ ]: local0 (can be 0-7)
In setupdomain: (for each domain)
>Syslog loghost [ ] : ip_of_adminStation

>Log Facility [ ]: local1 (can be 0-7)
In syslog.conf on admin station:
>local0.notice /var/adm/messages.platform local1.notice

>/var/adm/messages.domainA
On the admin station:
Create the files:
# touch /var/adm/messages.nnnnnnn
Restart the syslog:
# kill -HUP `cat /etc/syslog.pid`

or
# /etc/init.d/syslog stop
or
# /etc/init.d/syslog start
To restrice logfile growth, edit /usr/lib/newsyslog file as follows
On line 2 enter all message file names you created
Then
Comment out the LOG=messages line with a #
LOG=messages #LOG=messages
cd /var/adm for LOG in messages messages.platform messages.domainA

(ect..)
>test -f $LOG.2 && mv $LOG.2 $LOG.3 do
41
>test -f $LOG.1 && mv $LOG.1 $LOG.2 cd /var/adm
>test -f $LOG.0 && mv $LOG.0 $LOG.1
>mv $LOG $LOG.0
>cp /dev/null $LOG
>chmod 644 $LOG
>mv $LOG $LOG.0
>cp /dev/null $LOG
>chmod 644 $LOG
>done
To test logging:
- # logger -p local0.notice "test message for platform log file"
Check contents of log files to make sure logging is working, if not check
permissions on the log file.
Then setfailover off /on and check log file on log host. If it’s not working,
snoop the interface to make sure log entry is reaching the loghost.
Make sure syslogd is not running with the -t switch
Notes:
- Use 'connections' command to see if ghost sessions are keeping you from
connecting to a domain. If so, then reset the SC either from the Spare SC or
reset button.
- Use the dash (-) to remove an entry when running setupplatform

Section 3 - Open Boot Prom (OBP) and BIOS
Open Boot Prom
Open Boot Prom (OBP) is the chip based monitor (or pre-boot) program that
runs as soon as a Sun Sparc-based system is powered up. Intel and AMD
based systems run BIOS.
OBP is a command line based tool that allows a user or engineer to interact
with the system hardware without Solaris “getting in the way”. OBP contains a
minor programming feature that allows persistent parameters to be set that
control the system behaves during it’s boot-up to Solaris. OBP also manages
the way the system self-tests and has some interactive hardware tests.
Power On Self Test - POST
POST runs when the system is powered on.
printenv variables
diag-passes 1 – 999
diag-level min max or menus
on x800 servers you can also set

to mem1 and mem2
diag-switch ? true or false
Note - POST only outputs to ttya.
Be very careful if the system has a frame buffer and a graphics

terminal. You will only get output to the graphic terminal when the
system is probing devices before going to the ok prompt.
So if diag-passes has been set to 100 post will run 100 times
before you get any output.
49
Also on some systems if these variables are set
diag-level menus
diag-switch? true
then a menu will be output to ttya.
The system will wait at the menu for a response and no output will
go to the graphics terminal.
Servers also have a keyswitch position for extended POST or

Service.
Useful OBP Commands
printenv
printenv list all the variables that are set in OBP.
setenv
setenv is used to change a variable’s value
You must always set auto-boot? to false and reset the system
before running any of the following tests:
probe-scsi
probe-scsi will probe the on-board SCSI bus and list any devices on
the bus.
ok
ok probe-scsi-all
/pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@8,1
/pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@8
Target 0
Unit 0 Disk FUJITSU MAP3735N SUN72G 0401
Target 1
ok
50
probe-scsi-all
probe-scsi-all will probe all the SCSI HBAs(Host Bus Adapters)
The output will include the absolute path to the HBAs
On some systems e.g. v890, it will also probe FC-AL and IDE buses.
ok
ok probe-scsi-all
/pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@8,1
/pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@8
Target 0
ok
watch-net
watch-net is a very useful command that runs 3 tests in one
It firstly does an internal loop back test – this checks the electronics
of the NIC (Network Interface Controller)
Secondly, it tests for a connection to a switch – Link Up
Thirdly, it checks to make sure the switch is on the network by

looking for good Ethernet packets.
ok
ok watch-net
gme register test --- succeeded.
Internal loopback test -- succeeded.
Link is -- Using Onboard Transceiver - Link Up.
51

Looking for Ethernet Packets.
'.' is a Good Packet. 'X' is a Bad Packet.
Type any key to stop.

53
From the above output we can determine
NIC-/pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/network@5,1
The electronics are good.

It has a good connection to a switch – Link Up
The switch is on the network as it sees packets of information
…………….
NIC-/pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/network@c,1
The electronics are good.

It is not connected to a switch - Timeout waiting for
AutoNegotiation Status to be updated.

Booting the system from OBP or BIOS to Solaris
If auto-boot? is set to true in OBP, then the system will try and
load Solaris on power-on.
If auto-boot? is set to false in OBP the system will pause after POST
and you have several boot options:
boot will boot from the boot-device variable
boot –s will boot the system to single user
boot –v Verbose boot
boot –r will boot the system and reconfigure the kernel

This should only be done after installing extra
hardware
A combination of the above can be used:
boot –rv
boot -sv
Example: boot without options boot
ok boot

Installing Solaris
Solaris can be installed and updated by several means:
 From CD or DVD using a local CD or DVD drive

 From a Flash Archive Image (FLAR) CD or DVD
 From a Jumpstart or JET server
 From a WANboot server
The Jumpstart and WANboot methods are by far the most common today. A
dedicated system holds a variety of pre-defined Solaris images on disk. The
target system is connected to a shared network, boots from one of the images
and builds itself automatically.
Example: boot net – install
Will start a Solaris install if a Jumpstart server has been configured.
Jumpstart, WANboot and FLAR install methods are the responsibility of the
end user and are not covered in this course.
It may be occasionally required to build a system from CD/DVD.
Example: boot from cdrom boot cdrom
Use this command to install Solaris.
You will need information about the system’s name, IP address, disk layout
etc. This should be available from the system’s administrator.
Booting Solaris into Single User mode from a CD/DVD
Example: boot cdrom –s boot cdrom -s
This will boot a system to single user from a cdrom. When in single user mode
you can mount the disk drives, which is very useful for diagnosing problems.
74
Login, Navigate and Explore
After the system has booted you need to login:
v120 console login: root
You will be prompted for the password:

#
You are now at a Solaris prompt #
It is a good idea to use the bash shell (the Bourne Again Shell)
The shell is the command line interface that allows the user to interact with
Solaris and the system hardware. Bash is the easiest shell to use. There are
many shell commands:
# bash
bash-3.00#
ls list your present directory
bash-3.00# ls
bin etc lib opt system vol
cdrom export lost+found platform tmp
dev home mnt proc usr
devices kernel net sbin var
bash-3.00#
The ls command can be used with different flags to get more detail
bash-3.00# ls -lagi

The Sunfire X500 Server Range
CPU-Memory boards
501-2976 83MHz 2MB cache per module 501-4312 83MHz 4MB cache
per module
501-4882 100MHz 4MB cache per module
Two UPA ports - UltraSPARC II sockets
16 dimm slots – 2 banks of 8
All processors in the system must be the same speed.
Both processors on each system board must have the same size cache.
Different size cache on different system boards is supported.
To get the best memory performance install 1 bank in each system board first.
The processors access the memory via the centerplane, even memory
interleaving is switched off the data path is CPU – Data Controllers – Centerplane
– Data Controllers – Memory Bank.
1 bank installed on the board the memory can be read at 500MB per second.
2 banks installed the memory can be read at 600MB per second.
The memory is interleaved across the centerplane.
For best memory performance the all memory banks should be the same size.
Install bank 0 in all boards first for best performance.
Cpu-Memory 0 bank 0 installed bank 1 empty 500 MB per second.

4 way memory interleave 2000MB per second.
Cpu-Memory 0 bank 0 installed bank 1 installed 600 MB per second.
Cpu-Memory 2 bank 0 installed bank 1 installed 600 MB per second.

Clock Boards
501-4946 1:2 1:3 1:4 501-5365 1:2 1:3 1:4 1:5 1:6
The original x000 systems used a 83 Mhz centerplane.
The processor speed is a direct ratio between the centerlane speed and the clock
board oscillator.
The original processors were 167 Mhz clock ratio 1:2 centerplane 83Mhz
When the 250Mhz processors came out a new clock board was produced that
could do 1:2 and 1:3 ratios . 83MHz 1:3 = 250MHz
When the x500 were released they had a 100Mhz centerplan and a new clock
board with 2:1 3:1 and 4:1 ratios was released.
400Mhz 4:1 = 100Mhz.
VERY IMPORTANT
The X500 system should run at 100Mhz if you install a slower 83Mhz board you
will slug the whole system down to 83 Mhz
The processor speed is a direct ratio between the centerlane speed and the clock
board oscilator.
This will cause the 400Mhz processors to work at a 4:1 ratio.
400 4: 1 100Mhz = 400Mhz CPUspeed.

400 4:1 83Mhz = 336Mhz CPU speed.
Using the POST deamon 100Mhz boards are listed as + boards.
Solaris - prtdiag -v 100Mhz boards are listed as 100Mhz capable.
144
The range includes the following.
Sunfire Enterprise 3500
All systems have a clock board in slot 16
5 System board slots 1,3,5,7 and 9
Plus an fcal connection board
Upto 8 internal FCAL drives
You must have at least on IO board so possible 4 CPU/Memory boards = max 8

Processors
Sunfire Enterprise 4500 and 5500
8 system boards 0-7

Processors
Sunfire Enterprise 6500
12 system boards for UPA devices 0-11
Disk boards in slots 12-15

Processors
You need to install load boards in empty slots
145
Firstly we have to understand how the UPA addressing works on the
Enterprise Servers.
What does UPA stand for. It depends on who wrote the white paper.
Uniform Port Architecture.
Ultra Port Architecture.
There are two UPA ports per slot.
A slot can have either a : CPU - Memory board.
Two CPU’s both UPA devices.

SLOT 0 CPU 0 = UPA 0 CPU 1 = UPA 1
SLOT 2 CPU 0 = UPA 4 CPU 1 = UPA 5
or an: IO-Board
Still two UPA devices.

Type One IO-Board.
Two SYSIO chips both UPA devices.
Each SYSIO ASIC(Application Specific Integrated Circuit) has its

own UPA address.
SLOT 1 SYSIO A = UPA 2 SYSIO B = UPA 3
SLOT 3 SYSIO A = UPA 6 SYSIO B = UPA 7

SYSIO A drives the on-board SOC ( Serial Optical Controller) slot 13
(Hexadecimal d) and sbus slots 2 and 1.
SYSIO B drives the on-board FEPS ( Fast SCSI and Ethernet) slot 3
and sbus slot 0.
146
Type Two IO-Board.
One SYSIO chip.

One UPA slave port for a Fast Frame Buffer.
SLOT 1 FFB = UPA 2 SYSIO B = UPA 3
SLOT 3 FFB = UPA 6 SYSIO B = UPA 7

SYSIO B drives the on-board SOC slot 13 , FEPS slot 3 and sbus
slots 0 and 1
