Note – See the Sun Blade 6000 Modular System Site Planning Guide, 820-0426, for siteconsiderations before mounting the server in a rack.

Topics covered in this section include:■ “Rackmount Options and Requirements” on page 5■ “I/O Connectivity” on page 5■ “Management Ethernet Network” on page 6■

“Operating System Support and Installation” on page 6■ “System Management Tools” on page 7


15/64


Rackmount Options and RequirementsYou can install the Sun Blade 6000 chassis into the following Sun racks and cabinets:■ Sun Rack 1000 cabinet family (72 inches/184 cm tall)■ Sun StorEdge (72 inch/184 cm/tall) expansion cabinet■ 19-inch EIA-compliant industry standard rack enclosure

For each Sun Blade 6000 chassis you want to rackmount, you will need a rackmountkit. A rackmount kit is enclosed in the Sun Blade 6000 chassis packaging. This kitcontains rackmount rails and hardware.

I/O ConnectivityThe Sun Blade 6000 modular system provides flexible I/O connectivity through acombination of network express modules (NEMs) and PCI ExpressModules (PCIEMs). This section describes these modules and the benefits they provide.

The initial NEM to be offered for the Sun Blade 6000 Modular System is a GigabitEthernet model. Each Gigabit Ethernet NEM provides ten 10/100/1000 BASE-TEthernet copper interfaces, one dedicated to each server module. The NEMs are hot-swappable modules, allowing system administrators to easily add or remove themas needed, without powering down the system.

The PCI EMs are designed to offer independent, dedicated I/O functionsconfigurable on a per server module basis. The PCI EM format is a standarddeveloped by the PCI-SIG standards organization. The chassis midplane implementsPCI-Express connectivity between the PCI EMs and server modules, and assigns twoPCI EMs to each server module. The PCI EMs are fully hot-swappable, allowingsystem administrators to easily replace PCI EMs. Like the NEMs, PCI EMs can beinstalled in a live system without any modification to the connected server module.The Sun Blade 6000 modular system supports industry-standard, hot-swappable PCIEMs. At initial release of the Sun Blade 6000 modular system, Sun provides thefollowing PCI EMs:■ Fibre Channel dual-port PCI ExpressModule■ Ethernet dual-port PCI ExpressModule■ Infiniband dual-port PCI ExpressModule


16/64


Flexible I/O ConfigurationsWith the Sun Blade 6000 modular system, you can implement a combination of I/Omodules. For instance, it is possible to have one server module configured with aredundant pair of Fibre Channel PCI EMs, another server module configured with asingle InfiniBand PCI EM, and a Gigabit Ethernet NEM offering homogeneous I/Ofunctions to all server modules in the chassis.

You can easily change the I/O configurations in the Sun Blade 6000 modular system by simply swapping out any PCI EM or NEM.

You can install up to 20 PCI EMs (Ethernet, IB, and/or FC) and up to 2 10-port

Ethernet NEMs in the system chassis. All I/O modules can be used to provideconnectivity to the following three types of networks:■ Local area networks■ Storage area networks (SANs)■ High-bandwidth low-latency networks used in clustering

Management Ethernet NetworkThe Sun Blade 6000 modular system offers various methods for managing chassiscomponents and server modules. All system management access is through amanagement port on the chassis management module (CMM). Internally, the CMMcontains an Ethernet switch forming an internal Ethernet network. This internalnetwork connects the CMM, server module service processors (SPs), and externalEthernet ports to enable full system management across an Ethernet LAN.

Refer to the Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) Administration Guide for Sun Blade6000 Modular Server, 820-0052, for specific details on Sun Blade 6000 servermanagement.

Operating System Support and InstallationSun installs the Solaris™ 10 Operating System on some server module hard diskdrives (HDDs) before they are shipped to you. On these HDDs, the latest drivers arepreloaded and integrated with the factory-installed Solaris 10 Operating System. Thenormal installation process is shortened for the factory-installed Solaris 10 OperatingSystem. Installation parameters required include: locale, time zone, root password,and network settings.

Additional operating systems are also supported. Refer to the server module-specific

documentation for further information on configuring preinstalled Solaris 10 andinstalling alternative operating system.


17/64


System Management ToolsThe Sun Blade 6000 modular system supports the Integrated Lights Out Manager

(ILOM) system management tool. With ILOM, you can monitor and manage the SunBlade 6000 modular system by viewing hardware configurations, monitoring systeminformation, managing system alerts, and more. It offers a command-line interface(CLI) ILOM that is installed on the CMM service processor, which automaticallyinitializes as soon as power is applied to the chassis. It will also continue to runregardless of the state of the host operating system on the server module.

System Management Levels and CapabilitiesThe Sun Blade 6000 modular system enables you to easily control and monitor allsystem management operations at the following two levels:■ Server module level . At the server module level, you can individually manage

system operations by communicating directly with the service processor on eachserver module. Specific management operations at the server module levelinclude:■ Viewing applicable environmental sensors■ Taking inventory of the server module itself, CPUs, DIMMs, and PCI EMs■ Enabling the download of SP firmware and BIOS images

■ Chassis management module (CMM) level . At the chassis monitoring level, youcan manage system operations for all shared chassis components bycommunicating directly with the CMM. Chassis-specific management operationsinclude:■ Viewing environmental controls of all chassis components■ Managing the inventory of hot-insertion and hot-removal of chassis

components■ Drilling down to server module-level specific settings■ Configuring network settings for each server module

In addition to administering specific management operations at the server module

level and chassis level, you can direct the following common managementoperations at both levels:■ Network setup/DHCP client configurations . Assign an IP address or configure

DHCP.■ Hardware monitoring and management of system . Retrieve information about

hardware such as sensors and temperatures.■ Event filtering and notification . Control the severity of events and event

notification settings.■ Audit changes . View a log of changes made to the system configuration.

About External I/O Ports and Power InletsThe Sun Blade 6000 modular system provides external I/O ports on each of themodules described in the following sections:■ “Network Express Modules (NEMs)” on page 30■ “PCI ExpressModules (PCI EMs)” on page 31■ “Chassis Monitoring Module (CMM)” on page 33■ “AC Power Interface” on page 33■ “Server Modules” on page 34The following sections identify the external cable connectors available on each SunBlade 6000 module.

Network Express Modules (NEMs)

For each Gigabit Ethernet NEM installed, there are 10 external Gigabit Ethernet portsavailable. In a fully populated system, 20 external Gigabit Ethernet ports areavailable with two NEMs.

The Sun Blade 6000 chassis provides up to two NEM slots per server module labeledNEM 0–1 with 0 being the bottom NEM slot and 1 being the top NEM slot.

Each Ethernet NEM provides 10 individual Gigabit Ethernet NICs — one for eachserver module labeled NET 0 to NET 9 right-to-left as viewed from the back of thechassis.

In a fully populated chassis, there are 20 PCI EMs with two data network portsavailable on each PCI EM (providing a total of 40 data ports).

The Sun Blade 6000 chassis provides 20 PCI EM slots, with two PCI EM slotsassigned to each server module. The PCI EM slots are numbered PCI EM 0.0 to 9.1right-to-left as viewed from the rear of the chassis.

FIGURE 3-2 Server Module to PCI EM Correspondence

Assignment of PCI EM Data Port MAC Addresses per Server Module


42/64


g p

Prior to installing a Gigabit Ethernet PCI EM into the Sun Blade 6000 chassis, youneed to record the MAC address for each PCI EM port for future reference. This

section contains details on obtaining the MAC address for a PCI EM.All PCI EMs are shipped with unique MAC address for each port. The GigabitEthernet PCI EM, for example, will have two unique port MAC addresses assigned— one for each RJ-45 data port. The MAC address for each PCI EM port is printedon the PCI EM board, for example:

00:14:4F: nn : nn : nn

Where nn

= the unique MAC address digits for each PCI EM data portYou will need to open the PCI EM cover to see the MAC address label.

Each server module corresponds to two PCI EM slots. On the rear panel of each PCIEM there are two RJ-45 data ports — one RJ-45 per network device interface. EachRJ-45 data port corresponds to a server module. Each server module corresponds upto four RJ-45 PCI EM data ports (two PCI EMs per server module).

The PCI EM MAC addresses are sequentially assigned to the PCI EM ports, startingat the lowest port and ending at the highest port. For example:■ If the port MAC addresses printed on a Gigabit Ethernet PCI EM were:

00:14:4F:C4:FC:33 and 00:14:4F:C4:FC:34

■ Where the bottom PCI EM RJ-45 port is labeled 0.0, the MAC address for port0.0 would be00:14:4FC4:FC:33

■ Where the top PCI EM RJ-45 port is labeled 0.1, the MAC address for port 0.1

would be00:14:4F:C4:FC:34The physical PCI EM port MAC address will not change. However, the logical nameassigned by an operating system (Solaris, Windows 2003 Server, or Linux) to an RJ-45 PCI EM port will be different from the physical MAC address. Informationregarding how to configure multiple network interfaces (by their logical names)during an OS installation is discussed in the documentation for the server modules.

Configuring the Sun Blade 6000Modular System ManagementNetworkThis chapter describes how to configure the chassis monitoring module (CMM) withan IP address using the Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM). Specifically, itwalks you through the steps of establishing a connection with a CMM using ILOM.

It then describes how to configure the CMM with static or dynamic (DHCP) IPaddresses.

Topics discussed in this chapter include:■ “What Is The Integrated Lights-Out Manager?” on page 44

■ “About the Preconfigured CMM ILOM Administrator Account” on page 44■ “Establishing an Initial Connection to the CMM ILOM” on page 45■ “Communicating With CMM ILOM Using the Management Network IP

Addresses” on page 46■ “Assigning IP Addresses for the First Time” on page 47

■ “Using DHCP to Initially Assign All IP Addresses” on page 48■ “Assigning a Static IP Address to a CMM Through a Serial Connection” on

page 49■ “Changing the CMM ILOM Root Account Password with CLI” on page 51

What Is The Integrated Lights Out


54/64


What Is The Integrated Lights-OutManager?The Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) is a built-in system management toolthat enables you to monitor and manage the components installed in the Sun Blade6000 chassis. The ILOM is accessed through the CMM service processor. Forinstance, in CMM ILOM, you can configure network information, view and edithardware configurations, monitor vital system information, and manage useraccounts.

Note – The term CMM ILOM is used in this document to refer to the ILOM thatruns on the Sun Blade 6000 modular system CMM service processor. For informationon server management systems specific to the server modules installed in the SunBlade 6000 chassis, see the server module documentation.

The CMM ILOM is accessible through command-line interfaces (CLI) and IPMIinterfaces.Any user with a valid user account can access the CMM ILOM. The first time youaccess CMM ILOM, you need to use the preconfigured ILOM administrator account.

Some server modules that are installed in the Sun Blade 6000 chassis use a differentmanagement software. Refer to the documentation included with the server modulefor information on server module management.

For more information about the tasks you can perform in the CMM ILOM, see“System Management Levels and Capabilities” on page 7. For more informationabout the preconfigured ILOM administrator account, see “About the PreconfiguredCMM ILOM Administrator Account” on page 44.

About the Preconfigured CMM ILOMAdministrator AccountThe Sun Blade 6000 modular system ships with one preconfigured CMM ILOMadministrator account:User name : rootPassword : changeme

The preconfigured administrator account, known as root , cannot be deleted orchanged, other than changing its default password. This account offers built-inadministrative privileges (read and write access) to all CMM ILOM functions,


55/64

Chapter 4 Configuring the Sun Blade 6000 Modular System Management Network 45

features, and commands.

The first time you access ILOM at the CMM level or server module level you need tolog in as root with the default password changeme . After you have logged intoCMM ILOM and established network connectivity to the system, change thepassword associated with the ILOM root account to prevent your system fromunauthorized access.

For more information about resetting the ILOM root account password, see“Changing the CMM ILOM Root Account Password with CLI” on page 51.

Establishing an Initial Connection to theCMM ILOMTo set up CMM and server module(s) with initial network configurationinformation, you must establish a connection through ILOM to the CMM. Until theCMM has an IP address assigned to it, you must initially use a serial connection tocommunicate with the CMM. After establishing a serial connection to the CMM, youcan choose to configure the CMM and server module(s) with static or DHCP IPaddresses.

About DHCP IP AssignmentWhen you first apply power, the CMM ILOM broadcasts a DHCP request for an IPaddress. If a DHCP server receives this request, it will supply an address and othernetwork information. If server modules are powered up at the same time, they also broadcast the DHCP request and receive individual IP addresses.

About Static IP AssignmentIf you want to use static addresses instead of the dynamic addresses provided byyour DHCP server, you can assign the static IP address at the following times:■ Prior to attaching a LAN cable to the NET MGT port of the CMM■ After the module(s) have been initially assigned an DHCP IP address. You can

change the DHCP assigned address to a static IP address.

About the Initial Serial Console ConnectionWhether static or DHCP IP addresses are assigned, you must initially establish a


56/64


g , y yserial console connection to communicate with the CMM ILOM. For example:■ For DHCP assigned IP addresses . Attach a serial console to the CMM to initially

determine the IP addresses assigned to the CMM and server module(s). Afterlearning the IP addresses, you can communicate with the CMM and servermodules through ILOM over the Ethernet connection (using the assigned IPaddress) from any remote network client (web browser GUI or for the servermodule or CLI only for the CMM).

■ For static assigned IP addresses . Establish a serial connection to the active CMMto initially assign static IP addresses. If the CMM or server module(s) werepreviously assigned a static or DHCP IP address, a serial connection would not benecessary to change the existing address. Any serial or Ethernet connection to theCMM or server module using an existing IP address would enable you to log intoCMM ILOM and change the assigned IP address(es).

Communicating With CMM ILOM Using theManagement Network IP AddressesAfter the CMM has been assigned IP addresses, use these IP addresses tocommunicate with CMM ILOM. Specifically, the network management IP addressesis the IP address assigned to the service processor of the CMM.

Note that in addition to the management network IP addresses, you will also haveIP addresses associated with the data network. The data network IP addresses areconfigured after installing the host operating system on a server module. It isimportant to distinguish the data network IP addresses from the managementnetwork IP addresses since they both serve different purposes.

You need to specify the IP address of the CMM when you want to performmanagement operations at the chassis level. To perform management operations at aserver module level, you need to specify the IP addresses of the server module SP.

For further information on specifying IP addresses for the server modules, refer tothe server module documentation. For a quick list of management tasks you canperform at the chassis level see “System Management Levels and Capabilities” onpage 7.

Assigning IP Addresses for the First TimeThis section includes the following topics:


57/64


g p■ “Using DHCP to Initially Assign All IP Addresses” on page 48■ “Assigning a Static IP Address to a CMM Through a Serial Connection” on

page 49.

PrerequisitesPrior to assigning IP addresses, ensure that you have completed the following

installation tasks:■ Unpacked and completed the hardware and cabling setup of the Sun Blade 6000

modular system. For details, see Chapter 1, Chapter 2, and Chapter 3.■ Attached an Ethernet cable to the NET MGT port on rear panel of the CMM. For

details, see “Attaching CMM Network Management Cables” on page 36.■ Established console access to the CMM (or server module) through a serial

connection. For details, see “Attaching a Serial Console to a CMM” on page 39.■

Configured serial settings:■ 8N1: eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit■ 9600 baud■ Disable hardware flow control (CTS/RTS)■ Disable software flow control (XON/XOFF)

■ Ensured that the main power was applied to the chassis and the server modules.For details, see “Powering On the System Chassis for the First Time” on page 40.

Note – If you intend to have DHCP IP addresses assigned, you need to have anestablished DHCP server on the same local network as the Sun Blade 6000 modularsystem. Setting up a DHCP server is out of the scope of this guide. See thedocumentation supplied with the DHCP server software.

▼ Using DHCP to Initially Assign All IPAddresses


58/64


Follow these instructions when using DHCP to assign IP addresses

1. Verify that your DHCP server is configured to accept new media access control(MAC) addresses. Refer to the documentation supplied with your DHCP serversoftware.

2. Verify that the Ethernet cable is plugged into the NET MGT port on the activeCMM.■ As long as CMM ILOM was not configured previously with a static IP, CMM

ILOM automatically broadcasts a DHCPDISCOVER packet with the ID of itsCMM MAC address and server module MAC address(es).■ The DHCP server on your network returns the DHCPOFFER packet containing

the IP address and other information. The CMM then manages its “lease” of IPaddresses assigned by the DHCP server.

3. To obtain the DHCP IP addresses assigned to the CMM and server module SPs,use one of the following methods:

■ ILOM-CMM via serial connectionUsing a serial console attached to the rear panel of the CMM, log into CMMILOM as the administrator. For example, at the login prompt, type thepreconfigured administrator username root and its default password changeme ,and then press Enter.■ To set the working directory for the active CMM, type:

cd /CMM/network

■ To view the active CMM IP address, type:show ■ To drill down and view the IP addresses of each server module, type:

show /CH/BL x/SP/network

Note – BLx represents the server module installed in slot BL-0. To specify the targetserver module, you must specify the slot number of where the module is installed.Server module slots range from 0 to 9.

■ DHCP server logs

Refer to the DHCP server documentation for details.

Note – Refer to the server module documentation for more information onassigning a DHCP address to a server module SP.

▼ Assigning a Static IP Address to a CMMThrough a Serial Connection


59/64


Follow these instructions when assigning a static IP address to a CMM through aserial connection:

1. Verify that your serial connection to the active CMM is operational.

For information about attaching a serial console to a CMM, see “Attaching a SerialConsole to a CMM” on page 39.

2. Log into CMM ILOM as an administrator by entering an administrator user nameand password, and then press Enter.

Tip – You can log into CMM ILOM using the preconfigured administrator accountshipped with ILOM: root/changeme . For more details, see “About thePreconfigured CMM ILOM Administrator Account” on page 44.

The default prompt appears (->) and the system is ready for you to run the CLIcommands to establish network settings.

3. To set a static IP address on the CMM through ILOM using the CLI, type thefollowing command to set the working directory:cd /CMM/network

4. Use the following commands to specify the IP, netmask, and gateway addresses.

Command Description and Example

60/64


set pendingipaddress= Type this command followed by the static IP address thatyou want to assign to the CMM.

Example: Typing set pendingipaddress=129.144.82.26 would tell ILOM to assign129.144.82.26 as the CMM IP address.

set pendingipnetmask= Type this command followed by the static netmaskaddress that you want to assign to the CMM.

Example: Typing set pendingipnetmask=255.255.255.0 would tell ILOM to assign255.255.255.0 as the CMM NetMask address.

set pendingipgateway= Type this command followed by the static gatewayaddress that you want to assign to the CMM.

Example:Typing set pendingipgateway=129.144.82.254would tell ILOM to assign 129.144.82.254 as theCMM gateway address.

set pendingipdiscovery= Type the following command to tell ILOM whether youwant to set a Static IP address.set pendingipdiscovery=static

set commitpending=true Type this command (true) to assign the network settingsspecified.Example:set pendingipaddress=129.144.82.26

set pendingipnetmask=255.255.255.0

set pendingipgateway=129.144.82.254

set commitpending=true

Changing the CMM ILOM Root Account


61/64


g gPassword with CLITo change the changeme password, follow these steps:

1. Using a serial console attached to the rear panel of the CMM, log into CMMILOM as the administrator.

For example, at the login prompt, type the preconfigured administrator user nameroot and its default password changeme , and then press Enter.

2. Change the password for the CMM by typing:set /CMM/users/root password= passwordWhere password is the new password that you want to assign.
