SUN SPARC System Console access
ALOM and the System Controller
T-series servers t1000 and t2000 servers can be access through ALOM to get access to ok prompt. Even server is powered off, ALOM still run its firmwares which allow you to login and power on and off the system. The server comes with two ports called SER MGT and NET MGT. Ser MGT is used for serial connection while network management is used with console servers such as digi comsole (cisco, avacent) or similar products.
Here is the basic overview,
when you first time login, you will be prompted for pw. Please check for service manual for default username and password.
Please login:
Please Enter password:
Once you login, you will see sc prompt.
sc>
To connect to console, type consule and press enter.
sc> console
You should either at ok prompt or on the login prompt of the OS.
{ok}
To go back to sc menu, type #., it will take you to sc prompt. and type exit to get out of sc prompt.
At any time, you can switch back to the system controller prompt from the OpenBoot prompt by typing the pound key (#) followed by the period (.) as follows:
To poweron or power off the OS, you can type poweron or poweroff on the sc prompt.
sc> poweron
Only one user can use console at rw mode. If you already have a user, you can use -f to gain control of the console.
sc> console –f
to go back to the sc prompt, type #.
ILOM and the Service Processor
Other t-series servers such as t3, t4, t5 and blade servers, you can use ILOM.
These servers are also come with SER MGT and the NET MGT. You can configure login in through the serial console or theough the console server.
Please login:
Enter a password:
Once you login, you will see -> prompt (-> service processor prompt).
->
To login to the console, you have to Start the system console
-> start /SP/console<cr>
Are you sure you want to start /SP/console (y/n)?
Once you type y, you will either be on OK prompt or on os login prompt.
To go back to system processor prompt, just type #.
To turn the power of the server, type
-> start /SYS
-> stop /SYS
/SYS is uppercase
Like ALOM, to login with write access if user is already logged on, you can forrce login.

F. Configuring Memory Mirroring
The SPARC M10 systems support memory mirroring configurations to protect data
through memory duplication. Data reliability increases, but the amount of available
memory is halved.
The memory access controller controls writing of data to memory and reading of
data from memory. The SPARC M10 systems configure the mirroring by grouping
memory into sets controlled by two memory access controllers.
Note - The memory grouped together in a mirroring group must all have the same capacity
and be the same rank
1. Execute the showfru command to check memory mirror mode
XSCF> showfru -a
DISPLAYS default settings.
2. Execute the setupfru command to configure memory mirroring.
XSCF> setupfru [-m {y|n}] device location
To configure memory mirroring, specify -m y
For device, specify the device for which to configure the mirroring. To configure
memory mirroring for all the CPUs mounted on the specified system board
(PSB), specify sb. To configure it only for the specified CPU, specify cpu.
For location, specify the location of the target device. You can specify it in the
xx-0-z format. For xx, specify a system board number. For z, specify a CPU chip
number from 0 to 3.
The following example sets all the CPUs mounted on physical system board 00-0
to memory mirror mode
XSCF> setupfru -m y sb 00-0
3. Execute the showfru command to check the set memory mirror mode.
XSCF> showfru -a
g. Creating a Physical Partition Configuration List (PCL)
A physical partition (PPAR) consists of physical system boards (PSBs). In the
physical partition, the hardware resources of a physical system board (PSB) can be
assigned to logical system boards (LSB).
Use the showpcl command to check a physical partition configuration list (PCL), and
use the setpcl command to set a PCL.
¦ Physical system board (PSB)
The PSB consists of all physical components mounted on a SPARC M10 System
chassis such as CPUs and memory. In other words, the physical system board
(PSB) of the SPARC M10-1 is a motherboard unit, and that of the SPARC
M10-4/M10-4S is a CPU memory unit (containing the <CMUL> on the bottom and
the <CMUU> on top). The other devices that are treated as physical system boards
(PSBs) may include PCIe cards and disk devices. Sometimes, a physical unit of
hardware being installed/removed/replaced is described as a physical system
board (PSB).
¦ Logical system board (LSB)
The LSB is a logical unit name assigned to a physical system board (PSB). Each
physical partition has a set of logical system boards (LSBs) assigned to it. A logical
system board number is used to control how resources such as kernel memory are
assigned to each logical domain.
¦ System board
This term is used to describe hardware resources in operations such as configuring
or displaying a physical partition.
1. Execute the showpcl command to check a physical partition configuration list(PCL).
No physical partition configuration list (PCL) is set in the factory default settings.
XSCF> showpcl -p 0
2. Execute the setpcl command to create a physical partition configuration list (PCL).
The following example maps system board 00-0 to logical system board 0 of
physical partition 0.
XSCF> setpcl -p 0 -a 0=00-0
The following example maps system boards 01-0, 02-0, and 03-0 to logical system
boards 0, 1, and 2, respectively, of physical partition 1.
XSCF> setpcl -p 1 -a 0=01-0 1=02-0 2=03-0
3. Execute the setpcl command to set the configuration policy for all physical
partitions as a whole
XSCF> setpcl -p ppar_id -s policy=value
In value, specify fru (part), psb (system board), or system (all physical partitions
as a whole) as the degradation unit. The default setting is fru.
The following example sets the configuration policy to "All physical partitions"
for physical partitions 0 and 1.
XSCF> setpcl -p 0 -s policy=system
XSCF> setpcl -p 1 -s policy=system
4. Execute the showpcl command, and confirm the set physical partition
configuration list (PCL).
XSCF> showpcl -a
h. Assigning a System Board (PSB) to a Physical Partition (PPAR)
Based on the physical partition configuration list (PCL), assign a system board (PSB)
to a logical system board (LSB) of the physical partition (PPAR).
For the SPARC M10-1/M10-4 system, a system board is already assigned.
1. Execute the showboards command to check the system board (PSB) status.
XSCF> showboards -a
2. Execute the addboard command to assign the system board (PSB) to the physical partition.

setpparmode command: auto mode and compatible mode.
1. Execute the showpparmode command to check the CPU Mode of the physical partition.
XSCF>showpparmode -p 0
2. To change the CPU mode to "compatible" mode, execute the setpparmode
command and set the CPU Mode to "compatible".
XSCF>setpparmode -p 0 -m cpumode=compatible
3. Execute the showpparmode command, and confirm that the CPU Mode of the
physical partition has been set to "compatible".
XSCF>showpparmode -p 0
j. Synchronizing the Physical Partition (PPAR) Time and XSCF Time
1. Execute the showdate command to display the XSCF time.
XSCF> showdate
2. Confirm that the set XSCF time is correct. To change the date and time,
execute the setdate command.
3. Execute the showdateoffset command to check the times difference between
the XSCF system time and physical partition time.
XSCF> showdateoffset -p 0
4. Unless the time difference in step 3 was 0 seconds, execute the resetdateoffset
command to initialize the difference between the XSCF system time and the
time of the physical partition.
The time of each physical partition is synchronized with the XSCF system time at
the next physical partition startup.
