Serial connection to netra t1 105

Hi,
I have recently configured sun netra t105 using solaris 10. I can connect to it via a serial console and get a LOM. The issue is I cannot see any output or system console, not even OK prompt. I have tried using hyperterminal, tera term and send break signal several times but nothing happens.Can anyone please help me with this issue?
Thanks
Kapil

Hi,
Yes i type poweron and just the following messages on the LOM:
lom>poweron
lom>
LOM event: power on
I have to type #. to get to the LOM again and if i type console, it just stays there!!
lom>console
Any suggesstions?

  • Netra t1 105: Solaris 8 & 9 install failures

    Hi Everyone,
    I have two (2) Sun Netra T1 105 machines, each with a single 360MHz Ultra SPARC IIi and 256MB RAM. Both have 18.2GB drives that have been wiped clean.
    I am connecting using Winblows 2000 and Hyperterminal, serial port B, 9600,8,n,1.
    I want to install a fresh copy of Solaris 9 on these systems, but I am having absolutely no luck. I boot from the Solaris 9 install CD and the systems just hang. I've also tried to do network installs, and they hang as well.
    I thought it might be my Solaris 9 install media, so I tried to install Solaris 8 using several different releases - 4/01, 10/01 & 2/02. Each time, I get the same result - the boxes just hang.
    I make it this far (serial, MAC, and hostid x'ed out to keep our security folks happy):
    Netra t1 (UltraSPARC-IIi 360MHz), No Keyboard
    OpenBoot 3.10.25 ME, 256 MB memory installed, Serial #XXXXXXXX.
    Ethernet address 8:0:20:XX:XX:XX, Host ID: XXXXXXXX.

    And then it hangs forever. In the OBP, I've set the input and output ttys to ttyb to eliminate LOM interference.

    This could be part of the problem. How exactly did you wipe the disks in the other machine, and what type of machine was it?I installed the disks into a Sun Netra T1125, partioned (using format) and newfs'd them to create basic file systems.
    How about a "boot cdrom -s"? If it boots this way, does "format" see the disks ok?Tried this, same result. The systems don't make it past the licensing terms message.
    As for the mini tests - I ran them against every device, and everything seems OK. The floppy test threw an error because I didn't have a floppy drive installed.
    I have a 4 port QFE card installed in the machine - all of the loopback tests passed, but the transceiver tests failed. None of the ports are connected (no cables). The two built in Ethernet ports also passed loopback, and 1 passed the transceiver test (the other failed) - the transceiver that passed has a network cable installed.

    Could I be experiencing problems because of the QFE card?? Doesn't seem logical, but.... perhaps I will yank it out and try again....

  • Setting up a netra t1 105

    all, i've got a netra t1 105 and am having trouble setting it up. i understand from the documentation that i can connect another sun box to it using the serial port. so i am doing just that with an ultra5 i have. i am using a null modem cable with db9 connectors, a straight-through cat-5 cable, and a db9-rj45 adapter to connect the two boxes. i have edited the /etc/remote file on the ultra5, changing the 'hardwire' line to use /dev/term/a like it says in the documentation for the netra. when i use "tip hardwire" on the ultra5, i get nothing. it says "connected" but there is nothing i can do except exit out of tip. i have also used /dev/term/b in /etc/remote). is there a flaw in my procedure? or is the netra dead? or something else? thanks.

    Regardless your method to connect,
    serial or bi-directional parallel or network,
    for whatever task you might be doing,
    on whatever hardware,
    a direct cable will need to be a cross-over in some form
    if you hope for two systems to be able to communicate.
    Send from A must go to Receive on B.
    Send on B must return to Receive on A.
    If you choose to use a CAT5 cable, it needs to be a cross-over cable,
    else you go through a hub or switch, which will do the "crossing" for you.
    As to your other question...
    If you hope to connect to ANY functional OS on a system by using networking protocols through network capable circuitry (Solaris or not Solaris), you can telnet or SSH to it and just log in as a proper pre-existing user. That's a capability of an OS, even an embedded one such as is on a LOM or RSC or System Controller.
    =====
    The Sun system described in the original question will default its console to TTYa and not to its Ethernet port. It expects to communicate through proven (generic?) serial 9600,n,8,1 methodology. You'd be welcome to try the network connection but I don't think it'll work until you somehow reconfigure it to be your console, (but you would need to make a connection if you hope to reconfigure something).
    My supposition with the original poster is that they somehow crossed their crossover and gave themselves a straight connection. Perhaps their RJ45-DB9 adapter was also a crossover device.
    They haven't returned to update us with information on their progress.

  • Netra T1 105 Raid

    Is it possible to configure hardware controlled RAID for the Netra T1 105?
    If not, how is it possible to configure software RAID?
    Thanks in advance

    1. What type of cable are you using?
    2. Are you connected to the serial A or B?
    The cable that I use is a flat one, and I'm pretty sure that the usual straight thru ethernet or crossover cables do not work.

  • Netra T1 105 LOM & OBP

    Hi, I bought a Netra T1 105 recently. I connected the LOM port (serial port A) to another Solaris 10 (x86) machine via a null modem cable and am able to see the boot messages and the lom propmpt too. The funny thing is the keyboard is neither responding at the lom prompt nor am I able to send a break signal to fall back to the OK prompt. How do I get my keyboard to tell LOM to drop to OBP? Please let me know.

  • D130 multihosted with 2 Netra t1 105

    Hi Guru's,
    I want to setup an Sun Cluster for testing purposes and have the following
    hardware to use :
    - 2xNetra t1 105 1GB/2x18GB/1Gigabit Adapter (for Interconnect)
    - Netra st d130 Storage (3x18GB). (just one)
    When I try to setup the d130 I get an SCSI-Error.
    I have changed the scsi-initiator-id from one host from 7 to 6 to avooid
    conflicts, but still it fails.
    I did the same with 2 220R and a MultiPack as Storage and with this
    configuration it worked.
    So, now here are my questions :
    Is the configuration working with the 220R because the 220R has 2 channels on the SCSI bus and therefore it can handle such configueation. Unfortunatelly i am not very familiar with SCSI.
    It looks like the internal drives (SCSI 0 and 1) are causing the Problem with the Netras. I think it has to do with the fact that the Netras does not have 2 SCSI channels - pls correct me if i am wrong!
    Can you image that such a configuration (2x105 + d130) works?
    Do you think I need another SCSI-Adapter (to have 2 channels)?
    Is it possible to change the SCSI-ID of the internal drives (maybe this would avoud the conflict of the ID's) ?????
    Every hint is verya, very welcome!!!
    Please let me know what information you need to be abele to help me further - I will provide this information asap!
    Thanks in advance for your valueable feedback!

    Hi!
    Thanks for your reply!
    The d130 is currently set to assign SCSI-ID's 10,11,12!
    When I just connect one Server to the d130 and so a probe-scsi-all the System can find 2 internal (Netra t1 105) and 3 external (d130) disks on the SAME controller. When I do the same on the other node, I also get 5 disks (2+3) on the SAME controller.
    The internal disks always have SCSI-Id 0 and 1.
    That worries me since when I connect both Servers on the d130, the other node can not boot - which is imho because SCSI.-ID 0 and 1 (the internal disks) are assigned twice and the scsi-chain gets confused.
    Normally a system distinguishes between the internal SCSI-chain and the external chain - pls. correct me if i am wrong!
    It looks like an Netra t1 105 has all on one chain and therefore it conflicts with the internal disks ???
    Am i talking bullshit or can it be that my assumption is right ??
    Is there a way to change the SCSI-ID of the internal disks??
    Di I have to install another SCSI-Adapter to be able to distinguish between internal end external drives and to avoid conflicts???
    Please let me know if you need futher information about setp and/or configuration ...

  • Netra t1 105 install solaris9 from terminal session

    I have quite a problem, I am using a windows box hyper terminal into a netra t1 105 box and am able to boot up and log into the system, however as i am on a windows box i dont have the stop-a button to press when i power it down so as to boot from cdrom, I am trying to do a clean install of solaris 9 onto this box. It seems the more searching I do on this topic the more I hit my head against a brick wall....any help would be appreciated

    I believe you're looking for the STOP+A equivalent on a serial line: send a BREAK signal on the serial line.
    On some (but definitely not on all) windows versions, the bundled hyperterm can send a BREAK signal by
    pressing "control + break". Last I've looked into this I tried Win95 and Win NT 4.0 (?), one hyperterm could
    send a BREAK the other doesn't. But I don't remeber the details any more.
    I just googled a bit, and this page suggest to upgrade hyperterm to some 5.0 revision, to enable the BREAK
    signal:

    On second read Bill i see that as well.
    This is going to be unrelated but your boot-device looks a bit strange as well. You are referencing different slices on the same disk, and then referencing the disk itself and then net.
    boot-device=disk:b disk:a disk net
    You would be ok with referencing disk and then net if the server is not mirrored. If the system is mirrored then you would want to reference that disk as well.
    either :boot-device=disk net
    or: boot-device=disk disk<number> net
    But the next time it does it, you could try trying sync and trying to create a crash file. Once you have the crash files you can get these analysed.
    As well as this pass the server through diagnostics 3 or 4 times and check the console outputs fro details.

    Edited by: lebaronman on Feb 28, 2008 2:01 AM

    I have no really good answer here..
    I guess you are using a Netra T1 AC200, right?
    Some futher questions;
    Are you using an internal CD-Rom?
    Have you tried the CD-Rom before so you know it works?
    What happens if you try "boot cdrom" without inserting any CD? I think the bootpath to the cd-rom looks a bit strange, and testing that would be the easiest way of verifying if its correct or not. If the path is correct you should get a different error if you attemt to boot from a non-existing CD.
    Last question; which Solaris 10 version did you download?
    7/M.

  • PC Suite - no USB and Serial Connection Type avail...

    I have been trying to solve this problem for days now. I have Windows XP and Nokia 5310. After I installed Nokia PC Suite, there is no USB or Serial connection type in the Connection Manager; it only has Blue Tooth and Infrared conection available. I have install and uninstalled PC suite and used PC Suite Cleaner to clean the installation. I also went into the add and remove program in the control panel and click on "change" to fix the Nokia Connection Manager and Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver. It still didn't work. The thing is that the first time when installed PC Suite on my laptop, it did have USB connection option. Later after uninstalled PC Suite and reinstalled it, it start to have this problem. I am extremly frustrated. Can anyone help please?

    Thanks for your reply. I have solved the problem by following your instruction below:
    Go to Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Software, there you need to uninstall all Nokia software (Nokia PC Suite, Nokia Cable driver, PC Connectivity Solution ...)
    Download and run Nokia PC Suite Cleaner
    Reboot your computer
    Download and install PC Suite here.
    Connect your phone via USB cable (if possible use a different USB jack) and follow the instructions on the screen.
    Maybe when I uninstalled Chinese version of PC suite, the order in which it was uninstalled was not the one you suggested above. So,I followed your instruction and uninstall order to uninstall PC Suite again. I also uninstalled all the antivirus, spyware, and firewall before I reinstall the PC Suite. It worked; then, I reinstalled all the other security software again after I had reinstalled the PC Suite. Although it worked, I still didn't know what exactly cause the problem the first place, PC Suite version, Security protection software, or the order which it was uninstalled? All it matters is it's working.

  • Solaris 8 in Netra t1 105

    Hi, all.
    I get a couple of netra t1 105, and I'thinking about install Solaris 8 02/02.
    Does the netra support that release?.
    If so, need I patch them?.
    Where can I get information about hardware platforms witch support Solaris 8. I didn�t find any about this in sunsolve.com
    Any info is welcome.
    Thanks all.

    The SunSolve System Handbook will show you minimum OS requirements for any Sun machine. The sun4u architecture (includes Netra t1 105) is in no danger of going End Of Life any time soon as it is supported in Solaris 9 and future Solaris 10. The support for sun4d architecture (SPARC Center 1000 & 2000) got dropped in Solaris 9. sun4m architecture (SPARC 5, 10 & 20) may get dropped in Solaris 10 but the sun4u architecture will be around for a while. There hasn't been a new architecture released since sun4u so there's nothing to worry about for quite a while.See:

  • Proper serial connections for Sun Fire v250

    I recently purchased a (gently) used Sun Fire v250 for use as a workstation. The machine had a graphics card installed by a previous owner, but I accidentally reset the factory defaults on the SCC (I was having a boot problem, and apparently a brain problem).
    My question is, how do I connect over serial to make the default boot up options 'screen' instead of 'ttya'? I know from the oracle docs that I need a specific type of serial cable, but I'm unsure where exactly I can go about finding this. Also, once I get the cable what software (for *NIX or windows) can I use to reset the SCC?
    Thanks,

    Dychron, Inc.Search for a cisco console cable .... this is a typically a 9 pin to RJ 45 ... usually less than say $10 on at least well known auction site.
    If you laptop/desktop does not have a serial get a usb to serial converter as well.
    If you have a linux desk OS then it is possible to connect to a serial connection ... from solaris you would use tip .... from linux typically use 'cu' (built it) ... if I remember correctly.
    Or use recent versions of PuTTY from windows. ... which can also be configured for serial.
