Sun Fire X4100 - Serial redirection is very unstable.

Dear all,
I am having new troubles with X4100 hardware.
I am setting up console serial redirection and it does not work properly. Here is what I am doing :
- I set up the SP serial port speed to 115200 and commitpending to true.
- I set up console redirection port speed accordingly in the BIOS.
When I do a start /SP/console I only get weird chars on screen (symptom of a speed configuration mismatch). Moreover, when I reboot the server if I have a serial console started , the BIOS does not boot successfully, only '033' is being printed on the bottom right of the screen. I can to stop serial console redirection and to reset the server...
I am using bios version 1.1.8.
Can anyone help ?
Many thanks.
Eric

Eric,
Generically (and generally, as well) CLI serial connections are done at 9600 baud.
That's the default that the serial ports have, out-of-the-box.
The ILOM manual for your system gives guidance how to configure such a connection.
( that's document # 820-0280 from Docs.Sun.Com )
( and the document is linked from the X4100 page in the SSH )
See section 2.1.2 in that document.
http://www.sun.com/products-n-solutions/hardware/docs/html/820-0280-12/sp_initial_setup.html#50491423_pgfId-1012120
I hope that long link doesn't break as it wraps to two lines.

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?

Clone the Solaris OS from Sun Fire X4200 M2 to Sun Fire X4100 M2

Dear all,
May anyone help me?
I want to clone the all slices (whole hard disk) in Solaris 10 OS from Sun Fire X4200 M2 Server and then restore it back to Sun Fire X4100 M2 Server. Is it possible to do this? If "Yes", may show me how to do it?
I appreciate for your help.
Thanks you in advance,
Soret,

Hi.
It's possible, but depend of used file systems, used or not voluem manager, hardware configuration.
Possible steps:
1) Make Backup x4200 ( on internal disk or third NFS storage )
2) Boot x4100 from installation DVD in to Single user.
2.1 Partitioning disk
2.2 Create New FS
2.3 Restore backup on new FS. ( need configuree network, and mount disks with backups over NFS )
2.4 use devfsadm for rebuild device tree
chroot <new_root> devfsadm
2.5 Make neaded customization on new system.
2.6 Install grub and bootblok ( installboot )
2.7 Umount all new FS; halt system.
3) Try normal boot new system.
Some step for create new disk you may do on original server. Install new disk and make restore on it.
After- return this disk to x4100.
Regards.

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".

Sun Fire X4100 - XP Installation

Hi -
Where can I get a copy of an SIA that will allow me to install Windows XP? If there is no SIA, is there a method to install XP onto this server?
Thanks!

Hi,
If you have a valid support coverage you can download Hardware Installation Assistant (previously called Sun Installation Assistant) from MyOracleSupport website 'Patches&Updates' tab.
The latest version of HIA for Sun Fire X4100 is 1.5.2 and the patch number is 10335353 (it's a zipped .iso file).
Cheers!

I don't think the test-scsi command is viable for that platform.
The FC disks are "viewed" by the system as external to the SCSI controller, almost as if they were in a multi-pack.
They are FC drives addressed by the chipset as SCSI disks.
Try:
<pre>probe-scsi-all</pre>
Edit:
Which release of Solaris 10 are you trying to install?
Older releases that might be fine for V480's won't work on V490's.

How can I connect to sun fire v125 with serial mgr port by hyperterminal

Hi there!
My c.o. got a sun fire v125 server.My mission is finish setting up the server.But as I followed the sun
fire v125's document, it aint be connected to this server with serial mgr port by using windows xp hyperterminal .
My step as:
step1. Find the original RJ45 net cable from the v125 box, and put one side into
Serial MGR Port of V125.
step2. Combined the RJ45 net cable's other side with DB-9 converter,
then plug the DB-9 converter into the PC's serial port(9 pins).
step3. start the pc(windows xp sp2), and then creat a hyperterminal link in COM1 as:
Bits/Sec--9600, DataBits--8, Parity--None, Stop bits--1, Flow control--Xon/Xoff
And then pause connect. make it hang up.
step4. push the sun fire v125 power button. after 1mins, resume the hyperterminal,
connect to the v125.
as above all is all my step here. Somewhere incorrect?if theres no problem, why can't I receive the
"sc> " promote?
Theres only one thing what i can do is input from keyboard....?
I had known that there will be promoted the "sc> " after you start the connection of hyperterminal with the correct steps?
BTW,I had input "#." with enter key, but it doesnt work!
Is there anybody met this problem as mine? Or can you give me some hits?
Thank you for your reading.

Im sorry for replying so late.
I'd solved it long time ago.
finally I found I made a mistake that I connect the Serialport Cable which came from PC
to the RJ45(NIC) port which came from Sun Server :-@
If you still can not get the prompts, check these parameters of your hyperterminal:
connect a terminal or a terminal emulator (PC or workstation) to the SC serial management port.
Configure the terminal or terminal emulator with these settings:
* 9600 baud
* 8 bits
* No parity
* 1 Stop bit
* No handshaking

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 "~."
ERROR: undefined word
{12} ok #.
ERROR: do_interpret: no such symbol "#."
ERROR: undefined word
{12} ok ~#
ERROR: do_interpret: no such symbol "~#"
ERROR: undefined word
{12} ok #
ERROR:
I also tried to type command :(This comamand I got from SUN Firev4800 manual reference)
OK ctrl - ]
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
Regards,
Ferianto

Installation of Solaris 8 in Sun Fire V215

Hello.
I'm trying to install Solaris 8 on a Sun Fire V215 which comes with Solaris 10 pre-installed. I'm doing so because some of the software we developed seems to have problems onSolaris other than version 8.
Is Sun Fire V215 compatible with solaris 8??
I get the following error when trying to install SOlaris 8 update 2/04 from a CD:
Invalid install CD-ROM for karch "sun4u"
I've been looking all over the documentation of SUn Fire V215 to see whether it was possible or not to install such an old version of Solaris, but unluckily I never found anything. Can anyone help me?
Thank you very much
Jorge

That is not ever going to work.
Solaris 8 is a discontinued product.
That hardware will only work with SOlaris 10 and one specific release of Solaris 9.

If you want a more complete explanation,
go back to your Sun sales representative, else open a support case with Sun.

Solaris 9 in a Sun Fire V100 Box ServerSocket Bug

I am running Solaris 9 in a Sun Fire V100
I am having a problem openning Sockets where programs are written in Java.
The program is written in Java with the ServerSocket class.
I wrote a very simple class to test.
The port is available of course I already verified it.
I checked with the SecurityManager to verify this is not a
security policy but I receive a null from the System.getSecurityManager
which means there is no securityu manager installed.
I have many other apllications that are able to open ports and listen, but Java seams
to be having problem in Solaris 9. I have tried 5 different versions of Java. Last version
I tried is jsdk 1.4.2_05.
The same thing happens with Tomcat that crashes while
trying to open a listening Socket.
ServerSocket server;
try
server = new ServerSocket(8005,1024, InetAddress.getByName("127.0.0.1"));
System.out.println("BINDING SUCCESFUL");
catch(Exception e)
System.out.println(e);
System.exit(-1);
while(true)
try
Socket clientSocket = server.accept();
ClientHandler2 t = new ClientHandler2(clientSocket);
t.start();
catch(IOException e)
System.err.println( e );
Is this a well known bug...
Can anyone be so kind to help me up with this terrible matter
Thank you,
Juanpablo Lajud
