4.5.1.2 Service Partition <F4>
Note – If you have a Sun Fire V60x server or Sun Fire V65x server with the Solaris
operating environment preinstalled, the Service Partition is also preinstalled. If your
server does not have a preinstalled operating system, the Service Partition is not
installed. The Service Partition can be installed as described in "Service Partition" on
page 4-47.
The Service Partition is a special partition that contains utilities used to manage and
configure the Server. If the Service Partition is installed, use one of the following
methods to access the menu:
Linux operating environment: Press <F4> during bootup..
■
Solaris operating environment: Let the system boot up to the Solaris Primary Boot
■
Subsystem menu and select the DIAGNOSTIC partition.
The Service Partition Menu will display (see Figure 4-32).
If the Service Partition is not installed, you can install it, or you can also run the
utilities directly from the Sun Diagnostics CD. Refer to "Service Partition" on
page 4-47 for information on installing or restoring the Service Partition, or running
the utilities from the Sun Diagnostics CD.
Note – The operations performed with the service partition menus can also be
executed from the Sun Fire V60x and Sun Fire V65x servers Diagnostic CD. See
"Using the Sun Diagnostics CD" on page 4-45.
When you are finished using the service partition, you must depress the Ctrl-Alt-
Delete keys simultaneously to reboot.
