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.

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!

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.

On Sun fire v490 - Solaris 10 with Oracle 8.1.7.4 & Sybase 12.0

Hi,
We are going to upgrade our server with this configuration -
Sun Fire V490     2 x 1.05 GHz UltraSPARC IV CPU
8096MB RAM     2 x73GB local disk
2x FC 2GB Sun/QLogic HBAs
DAT72
On one machine we will have Sun Solaris v10 with
Oracle DB v8.1.7.4 & Second one will be Sun Solaris v10 with Sybase DB v12.0.0.6.
Now our question is - Sun fire have Hyper-thread CPUs �� will the O/S and databases (Oracle and Sybase) view the proposed system as a true 4 CPU platform? Will parameters used to tune the database such as Sybase max online engines still operate in the same manner as before?
Our old machine configuration was - Sun E450     4x400MHz CPU     1024MB RAM     2 x18; 8x36GB disks

Questions on Oracle and Sybase should be directed to a database forum, this forum is for Sun hardware support.
Here is a link to a DB forum I look at from time to time:
http://www.dbforums.com/index.php
The topic of tuning Oracle or Solaris is way beyond the scope of this forum, I have attempted to go into it before but didn't get any feedback and I would only like to spend lots of time on it if I was being paid!!! On the memory side, keep in mind that Oracle 9i 64-bit can address a maximum of 2 ^ 64 ( 16777216 TB ) memory, prior to that the DBA had to define memory parameters in init.ora. To be honest the last time I worked with a Oracle 8 database I shut a HP K class server down permanently that had been migrated to Oracle 9i on Solaris by an Oracle consultant and I can't remember all the tuning trick etc.

"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.

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.

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.

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

Oracle VM Server 2.0 for Sun Fire v240?

Hi all,
I am searching and trying all day long to install Oracle VM Server on SPARC 64 Sun Fire v240.
I still can not find information is it supported or not?
I have Oracle Solaris 10 5.10 Generic_142909-17 sun4u sparc
the CPUs are UltraSPARC-IIIi (portid 0 impl 0x16 ver 0x34 clock 1503 MHz).
I installed OVM_Server_SPARC-2_0 from https://edelivery.oracle.com/
Anyway the command ldmconfig returns that This is not supported by my platform!
In the release notes of Logical Domain Manager 1.2, 1.3 and VM Server 2.0 is written the supported hardware and I can not see the v240, but I see
Supported Platforms:
Sun Fire and SPARC Enterprise T1000 Servers
Sun Fire and SPARC Enterprise T2000 Servers
Probably this sun fire is not Sun fire v240 but it is sun fire t1000?!
What do you think - is my server supported for any of these versions? Is virtualization possible?
Also I can not download version 1.3 because it's moved to oracle my support section but it was free?
Need your help and support :)
Thanks a lot.

A T1000 servers does not show V240.
uname -a on T1000 output below
bash-3.00# uname -a
SunOS xxxx 5.10 Generic_142909-17 sun4v sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise-T1000
Thanks,

How to install Oracle VM server on Sun Fire v100 server

Hi All
I have just a Sun Fire V100 Server.
How to install Oracle VM server on Sun Fire v100 server?

I have install Oracle VM Server successful on PC Core 2 dual 2.93Ghz.
But Oracle VM Server does not detect onboard Network card.Your NIC needs to be supported by Oracle Linux 5 Update 3 to work with Oracle VM Server 2.2. If it's too new, then it will not be seen. Also, please start a new topic for each question. This new question is not relevant to the original topic.

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.

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
