Sun Fire X2200 ELOM Hostname change?

Trying without much success to change the Hostname of the ELOM on a Sun Fire X2200 server - I've sucessfully changed the IP configuration, but cannot seem to find a way to change the Hostname which was previously configured by someone who has now left the company. Unless I'm mistaken, I can't find anything in the documentation that tells me how to configure this. Server O/S is Microsoft Windows Server 2003.

Have discovered the solution...
* Connect and login to eLOM via Serial interface
* cd AgentInfo
* set Name=[insert name here]

Couldn't upgrade Solaris 10 x86 from Sun Fire x2200 to Dell Precision Wrkst

Dear Solaris Experts,
I need to clone a Solaris 10 x86 system using a ufsdump backup from the following source & target servers:
Sun Fire x2200 M2 with Quad Core Processor
# /usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/prtdiag
System Configuration: Sun Microsystems Sun Fire X2200 M2 with Quad Core Processr
BIOS Configuration: Sun Microsystems S39_3D12 10/06/2008
# uname -a
SunOS old 5.10 Generic_139556-08 i86pc i386 i86pc
to
Dell Precision WorkStation 390
# /usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/prtdiag
System Configuration: Dell Inc. Precision Workstation 390
BIOS Configuration: Dell Inc. 2.3.0 05/01/2007
# uname -a
SunOS 5.10 Generic_139556-08 i86pc i386 i86pc
Unfortunately, Solaris kept rebooting (failed to boot) from the restored primary disk (both / & /export/home) even though Grub menu appeared. As a result, I have embarked on the path of upgrading path using the same Solaris 10 Installation Disk (5/09) DVD but failed due to not able to mount / (c0t0d0s0), swap and /export/home (c0t0d0s7).
The source Sun Fire x2200 had two mirrored disks but I am restoring the backups to a single harddisk. Any idea on what step has been missed or that it is not possible to go down this path altogether.
I have tried a number of different reinstallations & restores but have not had much luck still.
Many thanks,
Jack

I should have searched the forums first. This was the solution to my issue....

Tools and Drivers for Sun Fire x2200 M2

Does any one have an extra Tools and Drivers Disc for a Sun Fire x2200 M2? Or have the ability to give me an iso for it.
Oracle has locked down the ability to download a copy unless your under support which I highly doubt is legal considering that you can't do several things without the disc.
Please help

No one is going to jeopardize their MOS credentials by giving to for free
what they had to pay money for. They would be subjecting themselves to possibly having all their service contract privileges cancelled by Oracle.

How compatible would it be to install Oracle Linux on a Sun Fire X2200?

Are there reports of incompatibilities of tape units with the Oracle Linux on SunFire X2200 ?

According to the Sun web site:
http://www.sun.com/servers/x64/x2200/os.jsp
Red Hat 5 works, so Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 (OEL5) should work also. You can find the instructions at their web site:
http://docs.sun.com/source/819-6599-13/Chap3.html
You should check with your hardware vendor to make sure they will support the hardware if you run OEL5.
As far is Oracle is concerned, check the web site:
https://linux.oracle.com/hardware.html
for the official policy.
Hope this helps

Up-gradation of Sun Fire 6800 to Sun Fire E6900 UltraSPARC IV+ Processors

We wanted to upgrade our exisiting two Sun Fire 6800 Servers to Sun FIre E6900 with Ultra SPARC IV+ processors boards and memory only. This, we want to do through Sun UAP uniboard promotion.
So we want to know the compatibility and additional requirement before going a head for this activity ....
Tech specs details mentioned below ....
Existing Sun FIre 6800 Servers Specs ...
Processor : sparcv9 UltraSPARC-III+
Model : Sun Fire 6800
Processor Speed : 900 MHz
RAM : 48 GB
Processor Count : 24
Will be upgraded to Sun FIre E6900 ........
Upgrade to E6900, 12 x 1.8Ghz US IV+ CPU, 96GB Memory.
I want to confirm below queries before placing order with Sun Micro sysytems...
1) Is there requirement for Box change ( Chassis ) or Sun Microsystems will provide it free of cost with this promotional programme ?
2) Is there any need to add more Power supply due to this up-gradation or additional PS will be a part of this kit ?
3) Is there anything left out in our discussion or planning which needs to be added or upgraded to make the solution compatible ?
Please add your valuable inputs for this up-gradation . Quick response will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance ...

Considering the domain name in your email address...
This is far from the first SF6800 your company administers, that's been upgraded.
Having said that, you need to keep in mind that these forums are NOT a venue for techsupport from Sun. They are hosted so that the user community can have general conversations, swap stories, and more.
So, as for your questions:
(1) Contact Sun and ask them for an accurate answer ( and no, the outer chassis does not get swapped ).
(2) Contact Sun and ask them for an accurate answer ( I seem to remember that you must buy whatever PSU's, system controllers, and whatever else may be necessary, in addition to the uniboards ).
(3) I suggest you discuss this plan with your peers in other EDS sites that have already done this. This promotion is not anything new. It seems to be offered every few months or so, since the E6900's first arrived in 2004.
Expect to do a ton of firmware and OS upgrades so that the system can handle the US-IV+ architecture of the new hardware. That will need to be done before the new hardware is inserted to the chassis.

Sun Fire x4100

I recently got a Sun fire x4100 server, which does not have an OS loaded. I am able to connect to ILOM (version 2.0.2.1) through the Serial management port and using SSH in Putty. I can also get to the web admin page and launch the remote java console.
However, when I enter the start /SP/console command from a Serial or SSH session the session hangs at "Serial console started. To stop, type ESC (" It will return to the -> prompt if you press the escape characters, however, it doesn't bring up another prompt (such as ok>) and it doesn't respond to any other input. I can't get anything except a blank black screen from the locally attached monitor or the java remote console. I also can't get a BIOS screen to show up for the system, though I can watch the full ILOM boot process in the serial connection.
The machine doesn't seem to detect any hardware problems. How can I check what it is using for a console output device? I just need to change the boot order so that it uses the OS install CD?
Thank you

Ok, that makes more sense and an important distinction for anyone who isn't used to Sun hardware to realize (This is my first experience with a Sun server)....I think I have been starting the system board using start /SYS because the fans, etc in the server would really take off after issuing that command. However, still no output to the local monitor, the javarconsole, or any change in the serial console (It is still hanging at the Escape sequence notice).
Just to make sure I'm doing this correctly, (if its not available through the local monitor) console access is usually achieved by:
1) starting ILOM (plug in server)
2) establish either a serial or SSH terminal session
3) fire up the system board using start /SYS (or restart it, when necessary, if it started when the server was plugged in using stop -f /SYS and then start /SYS)
4) allow console access using start /SP/console (Can you specify where console access is allowed/directed with this command?)
5) check javarconsole or local monitor for BIOS screen/system board boot up
Is there another way to start the system board or if it is starting, which it seems to be, is there a way to figure out what it is using for an output?

Session problem on clustered sun fire with SP6.1

Hi All,
I am having a problem with a webapplication on a clustered system.
In the following I describe the current system setup.
I will then describe the setup of the web application.
Following this, I explain the trouble I'm having with sharing sessions in this environment.
Finally, I pose the key question.
SYSTEM SETUP:
Our group has a clustered server setup. I believe the two machines are Sun Fire systems running Solaris 9. Let me know if you need more information concerning the HW.
To manage the cluster, we use Sun Cluster software. Let me know if you need to know the version number. I do not have it handy. We just recently setup the system (in the past 6 months).
Also, we have the newest Sun Web Server installed 6.1. We used the default installation. The only thing we changed was the dynamicreloadinterval variable from "-1" to "60".
WEB APPLICATION:
We have a fairly simple MVC web application setup, which works well on a single-server system. Essentially, the web application (1) asks for a certain input via a webform, (2) takes this input, and uses it to get information from a database, (3) puts this information into a httpsession attribute, (4) redirects the response to a JSP. The JSP gets the httpsession attribute (populated in step 3) and prints it out.
So, HTML with form posts to Servlet, Servlet gets data from database and populates a session attribute, JSP gets that session attribute and prints it out.
Between each transition from HTML, Servlet and JSP, the currently processing server may switch. I.e. the HTML may be served, for instance, by ClusterServer1, the Servlet may be handled, for instance, by ClusterServer2, and the JSP may be served at random by either.
THE TROUBLE I'M HAVING
Sometimes, my JSP is able to find the session attribute and print out whatever I put into the session during the Servlet step. However, sometimes, the JSP will print out "null" (the session attribute isn't available to the JSP).
For the HTML and the JSP, I have the page print out what server it is being served from. Thus, I can tell that the HTML is served from, for instance, ClusterServer1 while JSP is served from, for instance, ClusterServer2. Sometimes, the same server serves both.
KEY QUESTIONS:
Why would this be happening?
How can I have a session stick to the user and be shared across both servers?
What other information would you need to provide an answer concerning this issue?
I appreciate your efforts very much!

Hi All,
Hi Elving,
I read through the documentation and have the following questions:
(1) It seems that I can share sessions amongst both servers if I
configure the web server to store sessions in a persistant manner such as in a file or in a database. Is this correct?
(2) To enable this persistent storage of a session, I would need to change the Session Manager used. Is this correct?
(3) If yes, I have the choice between the following managers. Please correct me if I have misunderstood the options.
- PersistentManager: Instead of securing session information
in memory, this manager saves session information within
a file on the server in a directory, which I specify within
sun-web.xml
- IWSSessionManager: With this manager, I can store sessions
in a defined database or file on the server.
- MMapSessionManager: This manager also stores sessions in
a file on the server
(4) What is the difference between PersistentManager and
MMapSessionManager if my web server is running in
single-process mode?
(5) If MMapSessionManager is a file-based manager, where do I
specify to what directory the related file is stored to as I
do in PersistentManager?
(6) What are the advantages and disadvantages of
Persistent/IWS/MMap managers?
(7) In looking at SessionManagers, am I even barking up
the right tree? It seems like these would help me share
sessions across clustered servers.
(8) Finally, I guess my plan of action would be the following:
-> Identify what session manager to use
-> Include a sun-web.xml file in /WEB-INF containing
the manager-specific info
-> Reload my web application
-> done...
Is this correct?
Elving, I appreciate your help. Thanks!

Migrate Solaris 10 from Sun-Fire-V240 to T5140

Hi everyone.
Is it possible to migrate Solaris 10 running Oracle 10g RAC on a Sun-Fire-V240 to a T5140 without having to reinstall OS + Oracle-DB-software from scratch?
Because both servers are based on a SPARC-processor, I am guessing that it should be possible to patch/configure the OS to run on a T5140 instead of a V240.
Well, I have tried the following:
1) Booting the T5140 using "disk1" (c1t0d0).
2) Formatting "disk2" (c1t1d0) in the same number of slices I have on the V240.
3) newfs on every slice, mounting and copying from V240 to T5140 using "ufsdump/ufsrestore" over ssh.
4) Editing the /etc/vfstab.
5) installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0
...Because I haven't got the correct platform for T5140 on the V240-install (even though it is patched recently), I used the one on the T5140.
6) Removed the /etc/path_to_inst and tried to "boot -ar" (after switching disk2 to "disk1-controller-position").
When 1-6 did not work, I tried a few other things:
a) Replace the /platform and /usr/platform with the ones on the T5140 (Generic_137111-06 sun4v sparc SUNW,T5140).
b) Replace the /kernel with the one from the T5140 (Generic_137111-06 sun4v sparc SUNW,T5140).
c) Replace the /etc/path_to_inst with the one from the T5140.
No luck so far.
So I am left with my initial question - is it possible to patch or configure the V240-Solaris10-installation, so it will run on a T5140?
Thanks,
Niels

In theory you can, but the question is if you want the issues. Migrating between architectures is only recommended for sparse zones, but not for any other. In this case it's you go from sun4u to sun4v which will give you enough of issues beside te changing hardware paths and configuration items.

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.

What is interface name of Sun fire X4100?

Dear all,
I installed Solaris 10 on x64 AMD (Sun fire X4100). I want to config TCP/IP but I do not know interface name to create file /etc/hostname.interface_name. How can I find interface name of Sun fire X4100?
Thanks.

Maybe looking into prtconf or sysdef.
But still; I think you should be able to use "ifconfig -a plumb" after which the devices should show up using "ifconfig -a".

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:

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.

Sun Fire 280R

Can I install a HP Dat 72 usb internal into the sun fire 280r with solaris 8? Is it possible to work ok?
If it is possible, how do I install this?
Excuse by my poor english, because I am from Argentina.
Could you help me please?
Thanks
Jorge

Followup:
We ended up opening up a case with sun to get the problem resolved. Once we submitted the same information as above, without any questions they overnighted us 2 new rsc cards. I just popped them in and without any software changes I was able to get them configured. They are working great now. Apparently both cards were faulty at the same time :)

Edited by: anan on Oct 31, 2007 9:33 AM

I think the answer for #2 is to add your fully qualified host name to /etc/hosts
e.g. �AAAserver.<your domain>.com� or just �AAAserver.�
The second example is just the hostname followed by a period "."

How to flash bios on Sun Fire X2100 (without cd/dvd drive ) from solaris.

Hi I have the following problem. I need to udpdate bios in my sun fire x2100 (not the m2 version). Installed system on it is the latest solaris 10. I have also one laptop with sxce b107. I need to update bios to support zfs root/mirror.
Both devices are int the one subnet.
I download supplement cd from sun, but I was pretty amazed that there is available only remote update from rhel (32bit) or boot from cd/dvd drive.
Any help is welcome.

1. If an OS is installed:
- log in as you described
- shutdown the server with `init 0`
- this should bring you to the OK prompt
- Insert the bootable system software CDROM into the CDROM drive
- On the OK prompt, type `boot cdrom`
2. If no OS is installed:
- connect to the serial management port with your PC (Hyperterminal)
-> NOTE: you will need a DB-25 Adapter (Part No. 530-2889)
connect this adapter to the serial port of your PC, then connect the adapter
with an RJ45 cable to the serial management port of the server
-> Serial Port Settings in Hyper Terminal:
Duplex: Full
Bit Rate: 9600
Parity: None
Databits: 8
Stopbit: 1
Flow Control: Xon/Xoff
VT100 Emulation (if applicable): ON
- change to the OK prompt by typing `break`
-> if this does not work, try `reset -x`
- make sure your OS Installation CDROM is in the drive
- at the OK prompt, type `boot cdrom`
