Page 71: Hardware Configuration
C H A P T E R Hardware Configuration This chapter provides hardware configuration information for the Sun Fire V490 server. 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 ■...
Page 72: 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 73: 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.
Page 74: About The Memory Modules
DIMM slots FIGURE 3-1 and DIMM groups on a Sun Fire V490 CPU/Memory board. Every fourth slot belongs to the same DIMM group. The four groups are designated A0, A1, B0, and Sun Fire V490 Server Administration Guide • October 2005...
Page 75: Figure 3-1 Memory Module Groups A0, A1, B0, B1
Memory Module Groups A0, A1, B0, B1 FIGURE 3-1 You must physically remove a CPU/Memory board from the system before you can install or remove DIMMs. The DIMMs must be added four-at-a-time within the same DIMM group, and each group used must have four identical DIMMs installed—that is, all four DIMMs in the group must be from the same manufacturing vendor and must have the same capacity (for example, four 512-Mbyte DIMMs or four 1-Gbyte DIMMs).
Page 76: Memory Interleaving
One processor controls DIMM groups A0 and A1, while the other processor controls DIMM groups B0 and B1. The Sun Fire V490 system uses a shared memory architecture. During normal system operations, the total system memory is shared by all processors in the system.

Page 87: About Fc-Al Technology
About FC-AL Technology Fibre Channel (FC) is a high-performance serial interconnect standard designed for bidirectional, point-to-point communication among servers, storage systems, workstations, switches, and hubs. Fibre Channel-Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) is an important enhancement to the FC standard, developed specifically to meet the needs of storage system interconnects. Employing a simple loop topology, FC-AL can support both simple configurations and complex arrangements of hubs, switches, servers, and storage systems.
Page 88: About The Fc-Al Backplane
* The 127 supported devices include the FC-AL controller required to support each arbitrated loop. About the FC-AL Backplane All Sun Fire V490 servers include a single FC-AL backplane with connections for two internal hard disks, both of which are hot-pluggable.
Page 89: Configuration Rules
■ For information about installing or removing an FC-AL disk or disk backplane, refer to the Sun Fire V490 Server Parts Installation and Removal Guide, which is included on the Sun Fire V490 Documentation CD. About the HSSDC FC-AL Port The Sun Fire V490 system back panel includes an FC-AL port with a high-speed serial data connector (HSSDC).

(Loop B). For this purpose, Sun offers the Sun StorEdge PCI Dual Fibre Channel Host Adapter card. Refer to the Sun Fire V490 Server Parts Installation and Removal Guide, which is included on the Sun Fire V490 Documentation CD, for installation instructions.
Page 91: Configuration Rule
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 92 However, you can only perform USB hot-plug operations while the operating system is running. USB hot-plug operations are not supported when the system ok prompt is displayed. Sun Fire V490 Server Administration Guide • October 2005...
Page 93: 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, refer to .
Page 94: About Redundant Network Interfaces
64. You can also install a pair of identical 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 • October 2005...
Page 95: About The Ok Prompt
A synopsis of run levels follows; for a full description, refer to 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 96: 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 97: 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 98: 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 99: 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 re-enable 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 100: 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 101: Stop-F Functionality
“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 102: Auto-Boot Options
The OpenBoot firmware then deconfigures the failed device and reboots the operating system. This all occurs automatically, as long as the Sun Fire V490 system is capable of functioning without the failed component. Once restored, the operating system will not attempt to access any deconfigured device.

For instructions on how to configure and administer Solaris IP Network Multipathing, consult the IP Network Multipathing Administration Guide provided with your specific Solaris release. For more information about Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager, refer to the Sun Fire V490 Server Product Notes. For information about MPxIO, refer to “Multiplexed I/O (MPxIO)”...
Page 112: 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 113: 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 115: 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 116: 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 117: Default 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 121 There are a number of reasons for the lack of a single all-in-one diagnostic test, starting with the complexity of the server systems. Consider the data bus built into every Sun Fire V490 server. This bus features a five- way switch called a CDX that interconnects all processors and high-speed I/O interfaces (refer to ).

Page 124: 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 125: The Purpose Of Post Diagnostics
POST diagnostics does not ensure that there is nothing wrong with the server, but it does ensure that the server can proceed to the next stage of the boot process. For a Sun Fire V490 server, this means: At least one of the processors is working. ■...
