The following topics are covered in this chapter: “About Hot-Pluggable and Hot-Swappable Components” on page 26 “About the CPU/Memory Boards” on page 27 “About the Memory Modules”...
Page 54: About Hot-Pluggable And Hot-Swappable Components
About Hot-Pluggable and Hot- Swappable Components In a Sun Fire V490 system, the FC-AL disk drives are hot-pluggable components and the power supplies are hot-swappable. (No other component of the system is either hot-pluggable or hot-swappable.) Hot-pluggable components are those that you can install or remove while the system is running, without affecting the rest of the system’s capabilities.
Page 55: Disk Drives
Sun Fire V490 internal disk drives are hot-pluggable. However, certain software preparations are required prior to removing or installing a drive. To perform Sun Fire V490 disk drive hot-plug operations, you use the Solaris luxadm utility. The luxadm utility is a command-line tool for managing intelligent storage arrays such as Sun StorEdge A5x00 series disk arrays or Sun Fire V490 internal storage arrays.

Note – At this time, no Sun storage products are supported utilizing the HSSDC connector. About the FC-AL Host Adapters The Sun Fire V490 server uses an intelligent Fibre Channel processor as its on-board FC-AL controller.
Page 73: About The Internal Disk Drives
Gbyte disks), with larger capacities possible as disk storage capacities continue to grow. Sun Fire V490 disk drives are dual-ported for multipath access. When used in a dual-loop configuration—with the optional addition of a second FC-AL controller on a PCI adapter card—each drive can be accessed through two separate and distinct data paths.
Page 74: About The Usb Ports
For your convenience, a serial port adapter (part number 530-2889-03) is included in your Sun Fire V490 server ship kit. This adapter enables you to use a standard RJ-45 serial cable to connect directly from the serial connector on the back panel to a Sun workstation, or to any other terminal that is equipped with a DB-25 serial connector.
Page 75: Network Interfaces And System Firmware
“Reference for Device Identifiers” on page 61 About the Network Interfaces The Sun Fire V490 server provides two on-board Ethernet interfaces, which reside on the system centerplane and conform to the IEEE 802.3z Ethernet standard. For an illustration of the Ethernet ports, see Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps.
Page 76: About Redundant Network Interfaces
PCI network interface cards, or add a single card that provides an interface identical to one of the two on-board Ethernet interfaces. Sun Fire V490 Server Administration Guide • August 2004 Description This amber LED lights when data is either being transmitted or received by the particular port.
Page 77: About The Ok Prompt
A synopsis of run levels follows; for a full description, see the Solaris system administration documentation. Most of the time, you operate a Sun Fire V490 system at run level 2, or run level 3, which are multiuser states with access to full system and network resources.
Page 78: What You Should Know About Accessing The Ok Prompt
Prompt It is important to understand that when you access the ok prompt from a functioning Sun Fire V490 system, you are suspending the Solaris OS software and placing the system under firmware control. Any processes that were running under the Solaris OS software are also suspended, and the state of such processes may not be recoverable.
Page 79: Stop-A (L1-A) Or Break Key Sequence
When it is impossible or impractical to halt the system gracefully, you can get to the ok prompt by typing the Stop-A (or L1-A) key sequence from a Sun keyboard, or, if you have an alphanumeric terminal attached to the Sun Fire V490 system, by pressing the Break key.
Page 80: About Openboot Environmental Monitoring
About OpenBoot Environmental Monitoring Environmental monitoring and control capabilities for Sun Fire V490 systems reside at both the operating system level and the OpenBoot firmware level. This ensures that monitoring capabilities are operational even if the system has halted or is unable to boot.
Page 81: Automatic System Shutdown
Note – Using the Stop-A keyboard command to enter the OpenBoot environment during power-on or reset will immediately disable the OpenBoot environmental monitor. If you want the OpenBoot PROM environmental monitor enabled, you must reenable it prior to rebooting the system. If you enter the OpenBoot environment through any other means—by halting the operating system, by power- cycling the system, or as a result of a system panic—the OpenBoot environmental monitor will remain enabled.
Page 82: About Openboot Emergency Procedures
(indicated by the display of the ok prompt). The key sequence works the same on the Sun Fire V490 server as it does on older systems with non-USB keyboards, except that it does not work during the first few seconds after the machine is reset.
Page 83: Stop-F Functionality
For instructions, see “How to Implement Stop-N Functionality” on page 164. The drawback of using Stop-N on a Sun Fire V490 system is that, if diagnostics are enabled, it can take some time for the system to reach the desired state. Fortunately, an alternative exists: Place the system control switch in the Diagnostics position.
Page 84: Auto-Boot Options
If a system fails power-on diagnostics, then auto-boot? is ignored and the system does not start up unless an operator boots the system manually. This behavior obviously provides limited system availability. Therefore, the Sun Fire V490 OpenBoot firmware provides a second OpenBoot configuration variable switch called auto-boot-on-error?.
Page 85: Error Handling Summary
Error Handling Summary Error handling during the power-on sequence falls into one of three cases summarized in the following table. Scenario System Behavior No errors are The system attempts to boot if detected. auto-boot? is true. Nonfatal errors are The system attempts to boot if detected.

Page 92: About Multipathing Software
FC-AL host bus adapters connected to the same dual-ported storage array. For Sun Fire V490 systems, three different types of multipathing software are available: Solaris IP Network Multipathing software provides multipathing and load balancing capabilities for IP network interfaces.
Page 93: For More Information
Multipathing, consult the IP Network Multipathing Administration Guide provided with your specific Solaris release. For more information about Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager, see the Sun Fire V490 Server Product Notes. For information about MPxIO, see “Multiplexed I/O (MPxIO)” on page 66 and refer to your Solaris OS documentation.
Page 94: Multiplexed I/O (Mpxio)
Multiplexed I/O (MPxIO) A newer alternative to dynamic multipathing (DMP) that is also supported by the Sun Fire V490 server is multiplexed I/O (MPxIO). Beginning with Solaris 8, MPxIO is fully integrated within the Solaris OS software’s core I/O framework. MPxIO enables you more effectively to represent and manage devices that are accessible through multiple I/O controller interfaces within a single instance of the Solaris OS.
Page 95: Disk Concatenation
Disk Concatenation Disk concatenation is a method for increasing logical volume size beyond the capacity of one disk drive by creating one large volume from two or more smaller drives. This lets you create arbitrarily large partitions. Using this method, the concatenated disks are filled with data sequentially, with the second disk being written to when no space remains on the first, the third when no room remains on the second, and so on.
Page 96: Raid 5: Disk Striping With Parity
For More Information See the documentation supplied with Solstice DiskSuite software. For more information about MPxIO, see your Solaris system administration documentation. Sun Fire V490 Server Administration Guide • August 2004...
Page 97: About Sun Cluster Software
About Sun Cluster Software Sun™ Cluster software lets you connect up to eight Sun servers in a cluster configuration. A cluster is a group of nodes that are interconnected to work as a single, highly available and scalable system. A node is a single instance of Solaris software—it may be running on a standalone server or on a domain within a standalone server.
Page 98: What The System Console Does
During initial installation of the Sun Fire V490 system and the Solaris OS software, you must use the built-in serial port (ttya) to access the system console. After installation, you can configure the system console to use different input and output devices.
Page 99: Alternative System Console Configuration
Using a Local Graphics Terminal as the System Console The Sun Fire V490 server is shipped without a mouse, keyboard, monitor, or frame buffer for the display of graphics. To install a local graphics terminal on the server, you must install a graphics frame buffer card into a PCI slot, and attach a monitor, mouse, and keyboard to the appropriate back panel ports.

Page 106: Prologue: System Controller Boot
Prologue: System Controller Boot As soon as you plug in the Sun Fire V490 server to an electrical outlet, and before you turn on power to the server, the system controller (SC) inside the server begins its self-diagnostic and boot cycle. During this time, the locator LED blinks. Running off standby power, the system controller card begins functioning before the server itself comes up.
Page 107: Figure 6-2 Boot Prom And Idprom
For a Sun Fire V490 server, this means: At least one of the processors is working. At least a subset of system memory is functional.
