SUN Fire V65 - System Status LED - non-critical condition

Hi guys
We have a Checkpoint Cluster which is made up of 2 Sun Fire V65 servers.
The front panel of the servers are showing the System Status LED lights as Blinking Amber , which sun documenation has listed as
"Blinking amber: Indicates the system is in a non-critical condition" ref: http://dlc.sun.com/pdf/817-2024-12/817-2024-12.pdf
We have resetead the hardware, cleared ,logs, even change HW etc. The light goes away for some time and then returns.
Can anyone advise on what to do?
Sun has the following listed in their Troubleshooting pdf i ref before
"Non-Critical Condition
A non-critical condition is indicated with a blinking amber status LED and signifies
that at least one of the following conditions is present:
¡ Temperature, voltage, or fan non-critical threshold crossing.
¡ Chassis intrusion.
¡ Satellite controller sends a non-critical state, via the Set Fault Indication
command, to the BMC.
¡ A Set Fault Indication command from the system BIOS. The BIOS may use the Set
Fault Indication command to indicate additional, non-critical status such as
system memory or CPU configuration changes"
Is there any Unix / Linux / SPLAT logs I can look at or debugging we can look at.
Thanks in advance

Your initial description mentions that you have swapped various pieces of hardware around. I presume that means you used current parts instead of new-never-used components. Are both of the clustered systems showing the same symptoms?
I can only think of a couple of additional things to try.
Firstly, those are old boxes. V65's went EOL in January 2005, so yours are at least that old if not older. They are x86 architecture. Have you replaced the CR2032 CMOS battery that's on the systemboard? Have you additionally checked for voltage fluctuations in the data center? A marginal power supply can "mostly work" but it can be effected by an AC mains issue.
If that doesn't change anything, then you may need to contact Checkpoint. They may be able to point you toward some sort of heartbeat function that is tripping a fault level when it flip-flops between the two systems.
That's a software investigation and would be outside the scope of this forum.

Sun Fire X2100 Blinking Status LED...

We have 3 new Sun Fire X2100 servers at my current job. Just recently the status LED (orange) started blinking. The logs show fine and running a prtdiag shows everything up and running fine. Is there a way to turn off the blinking LED? I have gone over every piece of information I can find and have found nothing about how to turn this off once it has started blinking.

This may be one of two issues:
- There's a know ILOM/nge driver bug in eariler releases of S10 x86 (pre 6/06).
- There's a know issue with an older firmware rev of the BIOS/LOM where the net management port hangs/drops out and triggers the blinking fault LED. Do you know what BIOS revision you are at?
Most times a mobo swap is NOT the fix. You may be making the problem worse because we have mobos in the supply chain with older firmware revisions.
On the X2100's I usually have my customers try:
- Moving the RAM in different slots
- Updating the BIOS/LOM firmware
- Running the PC-Check diags
... before I send a field tech out to do major surgery.

D400 - system status LED blinking, network LED blinking

Hi - Just recently started experiencing this problem with my D400.
The system status LED is blinking, which according to the user guide means that WHS is either booting or shutting down. The Network LED shows activity.
Problem is that I can't get on the D400 via remote desktop.
Frustrating. Talked with support already, said only option is to send in to depot or find a local resource to troubleshoot or fix. Problem is that we have our music/photos on this thing.
Support also said that if we factory reset data on all drives will be erased.
Looking for help wherever I can get it. Thanks!
Scott

Hi scottdcm, and welcome to the Lenovo User Community!
To get your music/photos off the system before returning it for service, connect the hard drive(s) to another computer with a SATA connection. An external USB/SATA connector or drive enclosure will also do the job.
You can also remove any drives you have added before shipping it for service.
Hope this helps!
I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

C220 M3 System Status LED is Amber

Hello All,
I have a C220 M3 server that is running one of our CUCM subscribers and Unity Connection subscriber. I noticed today that it has an Amber light on the chassis. I have looked in VCenter, the ESX host screen, and even the Call Manager application for error statuses, but no errors are mentioned. For some reason, I cannot access the CIMC on that server and the IP address I have for the CIMC is not responding to Pings. Is there any other place I can look to discover what is causing this error light to be on?
Thanks.

Hello Simon,
these forums are user-to-user. The Fire E25K is definetely beyond the scope of these forums (too expensive, too critical for your business, too complex).
This system should be under Spectrum coverage (Platinum/Gold).
Open a service case !
Let's if you get any response to your posting on the Sun Managers mailing list.

GD80 Status LED and System Suspend problem

Hi everyone.
My hardware:
- MSI P55-GD80
-BIOS AMI v1.4
-Intel Core i7 860
-OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) 1600MHz CL8 Gold Low-Voltage
-Zotac GeForce GTX 275 896MB
- PSU: Corsair TX850W
-HDD : 1- Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 250GB (ST3250318AS); 2 - Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 500GB (ST3500630AS); 3 - Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB (HD103SJ)
- Debian GNU/Linux "Squeeze", kernel 2.6.32, amd64
I have a problem with LEDs on motherboard. when they are lighting I can't "wake up" pc from S3 state (aka suspend). It just restarts when wake up event appears.
Actually the lighting LEDs are: 1&2 VTT_PHASE; "LED2" , which indicates active PCI-Express 16x port; CPU Phase LED panel (it shows 8) and + - buttons used for overclocking (OC Gene and these buttons are turned off in BIOS)
But the strangest thing is that the LEDs sometimes turns on and off (actually one day they do, in other they don't) when I turn on computer, even when they are disabled in BIOS (Green Power => Motherboard LED Control) [btw. Touch Panel is disabled and it still works ]
I have cleared CMOS , swapped SATA cables and I have checked RAM and PCI-Express connection (sometimes when I reinsert graphic card everything starts to work well, but for a few days the problem appears again. The same goes to SATA cable )
Anyway it looks to me like an error reporting (or something) but there is nothing about that in the manual. (or it's a BIOS bug).
I have been searching about it, but i haven't found anything.
Anyone had this kind of problem?
EDIT: BIOS upgrade from 1.4 to 1.5 didn't help.

Hi ctemp1,

Also what version of SMS are you running? SunMC has an update available for the new SC hardware, USIV uniboards, and newer versions of SMS that change the SunMC addon from the name "12k-15k" to "High-end Systems":
http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=431df39d
If it looks like there's a mismatch between what SunMC and SMS are reporting, and you're running a newer version of SMS (i.e. 1.5) then you should give that update a try.

Which Sun Fire x64 should I purchase to run Logisitcs and Accounting System

Hi there,
I have a project that required to develop and deploy in-house build Logistics Management System and Accounting System into one system.
Is there anyone out there could advise on following components that best suite to Sun Fire x64 Server?
Project nature: Logistics Management System + Accounting System.
1. Web Application: Java 6, Java JSF, Apache + Tomcat 6.
2. Database: Oracle 9i R2.
3. Concurrent users 300 hits via Internet DSL and Lease-Line.
4. Hosted at in-house Server room.
Initial recommendation on server spec.
1. OS: Open SuSE 10.x or SUN Solaris 10(with definite support Oracle 9i R2 - non cluster?)
2. AMD CPU?
3. Size of RAM?
4. One or two boxes(Does it required FC between two server connectivity)?
Appreciate your kind advise.
regards,
airqq

You should really contact a Sun salesperson (or reseller) about that. They can step you through the process of selecting an appropriately sized server.

I have just experienced this issue while patching Solaris 10 on a V240 system using Live Upgrade.
The issue was resolved by performing a failsafe boot from the console ("boot -F failsafe"), splitting the (new/alt) root mirror, mounting the primary half, performing fsck several times (as filesystem issues were apparrent), then mounting the slice and installing the new bootblock using the version of installboot from the new root and rebuilding the boot archive manually:
# mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s4 /a
# /a/usr/sbin/installboot /a/usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s4
# bootadm update-archive -R /aI note that the OpenSolaris bug linked to above lists four criteria for reproducing this problem:
1. Install u6 ( SUNWCreq ( no mkisofs so we build ufs boot archive )
2. Limit /tmp to 512M ( so forcing the ufs build to happen in /var/run
3. Have seperate /var ( bootadm.c only lofs nosub mounts / when creating the alt root for DAP patching build of boot archive )
4. Install 139555-08
The system I was patching met the last three of these, but not the first one (pkginfo does not show SUNWCreq as being installed). However, this was not an OpenSolaris system, which may make a difference.

CPU temperature is too high in Solaris 10 sun fire v890 machine

Hi,
I just installed Solaris 10 on a sun fire v890 machine. I used the prtdiag -v command to check the system.
However, It appears to me that the CPU temperatures is higher than the temperature range specified in the technical specification. The server is a standalone node that does not connect to the network or process anything.
Is it a problem? Thank you.

Hi Rukbat,
Thanks for your reply.
I have displayed the verbose prtdiag -v on the v890 machine.
However, I couldn't find the hard-coded operational ranges. Could you please advise?
Hi Sun-worshiper,
I executed the command and couldn't find the targeted temperature.

Thanks for your consideration;

Hi Dave,
I'll have to guess at this point and back track a bit:
1. Does this system have up-to-date firmware?
2. Did you apply the current LU patch set to the s10u6 boot environment?
3. The system should have booted when you activated the s10u10 BE,
but I see an error in your zpool set bootfs command. It should be:
zpool set bootfs=rpool/ROOT/sol10_u10_tmp rpool
Thanks, Cindy

"Memory Sizing" error on Sun Fire V65x

Hello.
I have some trouble with my old Sun Fire V65x and i hope that you guys can help me out.
I had 2,5GB RAM installed in my server, working flawless. 2 x 256MB and 2 x 1GB modules. 256-modules in Bank 1 and 1GB´s in Bank 2.
To get rid of the boot up warning of wrong memory configuration i moved the 2 1GB modules to bank 3 (as stated in the manual) but that was when the problem started.
In this configuration the server won't go to POST, i tried moving the 1GB modules around between bank 1, 2 & 3 without any result.
The server will not go to POST. No beeps, no nothing. When turning the server on line it starts up, the fans starts running on at maximum speed and that's all, no picture and no POST and the system warning LED turns to red. After a couple of minutes in this state the fans slow down for a couple of seconds and then back to 100% (repeating cycle)
The POST diagnostics LEDs at the back of the main board indicates POST code 13h, "Memory sizing". The main board does not report any defective DIMMs, also worth mentioning is that the 2 256MB DIMMs are working flawlessly in all banks.
I have tried:
Resetting the memory config in BIOS (using the 2x256 DIMMs and then installing the 2 1GB modules.
Moving the memory modules around between different banks, both alone and with the 2 256MB DIMMs present.
Clearing the CMOS settings.
Searching manuals and Google for hours without answer to my problem or what "memory sizing " means in this situation.
System:
Sun Fire V65x
1 CPU
If anyone know the answer to my dilemma and are willing to help me, i would be really grateful.
Sadly i do not have the possibility to test the memory modules in another system.
Best regards. Erik Järlestrand, Sweden.

Hardware. A reboot will probably not do anything. From what I can tell, it's a CPU cache problem. If you do anything, shut the system down completely, turn the power off for a minimum of 20 seconds to let any residual electricty go away, the turn it back on. If the problem returns, you'll most likely need to either get a new CPU module or a new V100. I don't know if the CPU can be removed from the V100 motherboard, but since there are jumper settings for the speed I would assume that you can.

How Can I shutdown SUN FIRE 4800 Machine?

Dear IT Experts,
I maintain a SUN Server. It is SUN Fire F4800. To login , I must use HyperTerminal, serial cable , and Laptop.
I have a plan to shutdown this machine for about 30 minutes for hardware maintenance checking.
But, I can not shutdown it using command "power-off" at "OK" prompt.(before, I use "init 0" to "OK" prompt)
I got this message :
{13} ok power-off
ERROR: do_interpret: no such symbol "power-off"
ERROR: undefined word
Could any body tell me what step can I do to shutdown this machine properly,please?
Here is the machine description :

Dear All,
Sorry, if I ask this question to this forum again. Yesterday, I tried to shutdown SUN Fire 4800 machine. It is the same machine which I asked to all of you before.
At "OK" prompt, I typed *#.* in order to go to SC (System Controller) to shutdown the Machine. (As I know that "OK" prompt just shutdown the OS level)
But, I got the Error message.. These are commands that I have typed, but still did not work
{12} ok ~#
ERROR: do_interpret: no such symbol "~#"
ERROR: undefined word
{12} ok ~.
ERROR: do_interpret: no such symbol "~."

I connect to SUN Fire 4800 using serial cable (DB25) to USB port at my laptop, using either "Hyperterminal" or "TeraTerm"
-Bit persecond : 9600
-Data Bit : 8
-Parity : None
-Stop Bits : 1
-Flow Control : None
I can see the screen and typed "init 0" to go to "OK" prompt.But it still does not work. What happen? What should I do? For this case, is there any influence from "keyboard" layout (because I use my laptop keyboard) ?
Note : I also tried typed *"init 5"* to shutdown the server, but it still go to "OK" prompt
Please suggest...
Thanks for any help

Is it possible to Manage Sun Fire v60 without using Red Hat?

I've been trying to enable a console connection via an Avocent dongle connected to the serial port using these directions:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19088-01/v65x.srvr/817-2025-13/chap2.html
All I've been able to view is the BIOS output, and the grub menu; I am unable to control anything.
Is it possible to manage a Sun Fire v60x without using a Red Hat server to issue power/status commands?
Thank you.

Hi.
Serial console support only text mode. So can freasing after server change mode to graphics.
For manage server You can read:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19088-01/v65x.srvr/817-2025-13/chap1.html#pgfId-1014396
Lights Out Management (LOM)
The Intel Server Management (ISM) software is a set of applications and agents for monitoring and managing servers. The agents can act as low-level stand-alone pieces, or can be used in conjunction with full-featured integrated management suites.
Available features include power on, power off and reset. System Event Logs (SELs) and Sensor Data Records (SDRs) can be viewed remotely.
IMHO: It's very old server and remote control of it not user frendly.
