You must also ensure that the system console is directed to the appropriate port on the SPARC Enterprise T2000 server’s back panel—generally, the one to which your hardware console device is attached (see ). You do this by setting the FIGURE 1-1 input-device and output-device OpenBoot configuration variables.
Using a Tip line enables you to use windowing and operating system features on the system making the connection to the SPARC Enterprise T2000 server. The serial management port is not a general-purpose serial port. If you want to use a general-purpose serial port with your server –...
You change the system console configuration by setting OpenBoot configuration variables. See “System Console OpenBoot Configuration Variable Settings” on page SPARC Enterprise T2000 Server Administration Guide • April 2007...
Accessing the System Console Through a Graphics Monitor The SPARC Enterprise T2000 server is shipped without a mouse, keyboard, monitor, or frame buffer for the display of bitmapped graphics. To install a graphics monitor on the server, you must install a graphics accelerator card into a PCI slot, and attach a monitor, mouse, and keyboard to the appropriate front or rear USB ports.
You must assign a password during initial system configuration. For more information, refer to your server installation guide and the ALOM CMT guide for your server. SPARC Enterprise T2000 Server Administration Guide • April 2007...
Note – The network management port is a 10/100 BASE-T port. The IP address assigned to the network management port is a unique IP address, separate from the main SPARC Enterprise T2000 server IP address, and is dedicated for use only with the ALOM CMT system controller.
1. Complete the physical connection from the serial management port to your terminal server. The serial management port on the SPARC Enterprise T2000 server is a data terminal equipment (DTE) port. The pinouts for the serial management port correspond with the pinouts for the RJ-45 ports on the Serial Interface Breakout Cable supplied by Cisco for use with the Cisco AS2511-RJ terminal server.
If the pinouts for the serial management port do not correspond with the pinouts for the RJ-45 ports on the terminal server, you need to make a crossover cable that takes each pin on the SPARC Enterprise T2000 server serial management port to the corresponding pin in the terminal server’s serial port.
2. Open a terminal session on the connecting device, and type: % telnet IP-address-of-terminal-server port-number For example, for a SPARC Enterprise T2000 server connected to port 10000 on a terminal server whose IP address is 192.20.30.10, you would type: % telnet 192.20.30.10 10000...

Note – If you intend to use the system’s serial port A rather than serial port B, edit this entry by replacing /dev/ttyb with /dev/ttya. The /etc/remote file is now properly configured. Continue establishing a Tip connection to the SPARC Enterprise T2000 server system console. See “Accessing the System Console Through a Tip Connection” on page...
Accessing the System Console Through an Alphanumeric Terminal Use this procedure when you are accessing the SPARC Enterprise T2000 server system console by connecting the serial port of an alphanumeric terminal to the serial management port (SER MGT) of the SPARC Enterprise T2000 server.
3. Connect the monitor’s power cord to an AC outlet. 4. Connect the USB keyboard cable to one USB port and the USB mouse cable to the other USB port on the SPARC Enterprise T2000 server back panel ( FIGURE 1-2 5.

However, the console -f command, if you enable it, allows users to seize access to the system console from one another. For more information, see the ALOM CMT guide for your server. SPARC Enterprise T2000 Server Administration Guide • April 2007...
For a full description of run levels, refer to the Solaris system administration documentation. Most of the time, you operate a SPARC Enterprise T2000 server at run level 2 or run level 3, which are multiuser states with access to full system and network resources.
You can usually perform a graceful shutdown, provided the Solaris OS is running and the hardware has not experienced serious failure. You can also perform a graceful system shutdown from the ALOM CMT command prompt. SPARC Enterprise T2000 Server Administration Guide • April 2007...
ALOM CMT break or console Command Typing break from the sc> prompt forces a running SPARC Enterprise T2000 server to drop into OpenBoot firmware control. If the operating system is already halted, you can use the console command instead of break to reach the ok prompt.
Caution – Accessing the ok prompt suspends the Solaris OS. When you access the ok prompt from a functioning SPARC Enterprise T2000 server, you are suspending the Solaris OS and placing the system under firmware control. Any processes that were running under the operating system are also suspended, and the state of such processes might not be recoverable.

■ Requirements To configure and use RAID disk volumes on the SPARC Enterprise T2000 server, you must install the appropriate patches. For the latest information on patches for the SPARC Enterprise T2000 server, see the latest product notes for your system.
By providing this logical volume management layer, the software overcomes the restrictions imposed by physical disk devices. The onboard disk controller of the SPARC Enterprise T2000 server provides for the creation of as many as two hardware RAID volumes. The controller supports either two-disk RAID 1 (integrated mirror, or IM) volumes, or two-, three- or four-disk RAID 0 (integrated stripe, or IS) volumes.
Graphical Representation of Disk Striping FIGURE 3-1 Caution – There is no data redundancy in an IS volume configuration. Thus, if a single disk fails, the entire volume fails, and all data is lost. If an IS volume is manually deleted, all data on the volume is lost. IS volumes are likely to provide better performance than IM volumes or single disks.
You can then use the volume in the Solaris operating system. Hardware Raid Operations On the SPARC Enterprise T2000 server, the SAS controller supports mirroring and striping using the Solaris OS raidctl utility. A hardware RAID volume created under the raidctl utility behaves slightly differently than one created using volume management software.
In this example, a single IM volume has been enabled. It is fully synchronized and is online. The SPARC Enterprise T2000 server’s on-board SAS controller can configure as many as two RAID volumes. Prior to volume creation, ensure that the member disks are available and that there are not two volumes already created.
Page 72
See the raidctl(1M) man page for additional details regarding volume and disk status. Note – The logical device names might appear differently on your system, depending on the number and type of add-on disk controllers installed. SPARC Enterprise T2000 Server Administration Guide • April 2007...
Page 73
2. Type the following command: # raidctl -c primary secondary The creation of the RAID volume is interactive, by default. For example: # raidctl -c c0t0d0 c0t1d0 Creating RAID volume c0t0d0 will destroy all data on member disks, proceed (yes/no)? yes Volume ’c0t0d0’...
One alternate medium is a network installation image in single-user mode (refer to the Solaris 10 Installation Guide for information about configuring and using network-based installations). SPARC Enterprise T2000 Server Administration Guide • April 2007...
1. Determine which disk is the default boot device From the OpenBoot ok prompt, type the printenv command, and if necessary the devalias command, to identify the default boot device. For example: ok printenv boot-device boot-device = disk ok devalias disk disk /pci@780/pci@0/pci@9/scsi@0/disk@0,0 2.
Page 76
As an alternative, you can use the –f option to force the creation if you are sure of the member disks, and sure that the data on all other member disks can be lost. For example: # raidctl -f -c -r 0 c0t1d0 c0t2d0 c0t3d0 Volume ’c0t1d0’ created SPARC Enterprise T2000 Server Administration Guide • April 2007...
3. To check the status of a RAID striped volume, type the following command: # raidctl RAID Volume RAID RAID Disk Volume Type Status Disk Status -------------------------------------------------------- c0t1d0 c0t1d0 c0t2d0 c0t3d0 The example shows that the RAID striped volume is online and functioning. Under RAID 0 (disk striping),there is no replication of data across drives.

In this example, the RAID volume is c0t1d0 Note – The logical device names might appear differently on your system, depending on the number and type of add-on disk controllers installed. SPARC Enterprise T2000 Server Administration Guide • April 2007...
Page 81
3. To delete the volume, type the following command: # raidctl -d mirrored-volume For example: # raidctl -d c0t0d0 RAID Volume ‘c0t0d0’ deleted In the event that the RAID volume is an IS volume, the deletion of the RAID volume is interactive, for example: # raidctl -d c0t0d0 Deleting volume c0t0d0 will destroy all data it contains, proceed...
There is no need to issue a software command to bring the drive offline when the drive has failed. 4. Install a new hard drive, as described in the SPARC Enterprise T2000 Server Service Manual. The RAID utility automatically restores the data to the disk.
5. To check the status of a RAID rebuild, type the following command: # raidctl For example: # raidctl RAID Volume RAID RAID Disk Volume Type Status Disk Status -------------------------------------------------------- c0t1d0 RESYNCING c0t1d0 c0t2d0 This example indicates that RAID volume c0t1d0 is resynchronizing. If you issue the command again once synchronization has completed, it indicates that the RAID mirror is finished resynchronizing and is back online: # raidctl...

The -al options return the status of all SCSI devices, including buses and USB devices. In this example, no USB devices are connected to the system. SPARC Enterprise T2000 Server Administration Guide • April 2007...
Page 85
This warning is issued because these commands attempt to quiesce the (SAS) SCSI bus, but the SPARC Enterprise T2000 server firmware prevents it. This warning message can be safely ignored in the SPARC Enterprise T2000 server, but the following step avoids this warning message altogether.
Page 86
5. Remove the hard drive, as described in the SPARC Enterprise T2000 Server Service Manual. The blue OK-to-Remove LED goes out when you remove the hard drive. 6. Install a new hard drive, as described in the SPARC Enterprise T2000 Server Service Manual. 7. Configure the new hard drive.
