Wednesday Aug 02, 2006
- Install the SMDC card on x2100 - Upgrade Flash, Bios to the latest Download Sun Fire X2100 Server Supplemental 1.4 from http://www.sun.com/servers/entry/x2100/downloads.jsp Upgrade Bios ------------ Boot from the CD. select option "2" to upgrade the BIOS after reboot set the bios to "load optimised default" (this is mandetory) - Set Up SMDC card using util.exe http://www.sun.com/products-n-solutions/hardware/docs/html/819-3721-11/AppC.html#pgfId-1001667 Boot from the CD. select option "4", exit to DOS. > cd \flash\bios\latest\ipmi >util.exe Upgrade firmwire ---------------- Select menu "Flash Firmware" select the file "413.bin" ( file can be located under \flash\bios\latest\ipmi directory) Configure Network parameter --------------------------- Select "Lan Config" to configure IP/netmask/gateway for SMDC card. Select password --------------- Select "User and password" to set password for all the user. - Redirect Console to COM1 (This is default setting and should work perfectly) Check the cable carefully (normal serial cable both side female is used) If the console hangs need to do OS specific setting. For Solaris: 1) Add the following line to /kernel/drv/asy.conf name="asy" parent="isa" reg=1,0x3f8,8 interrupts=4; 2)Add the following line to /boot/solaris/bootenv.rc setprop input-device 'ttya' setprop output-device 'ttya' Modify the below console redirect line setprop console 'text' Modified line should be: setprop console 'ttya' - Install Ipmitool on a server in the same network (preferably on N1SM master server.) Download from http://ipmitool.sourceforge.net - Redirect Console over SMDC Change the Bios setting to "Redirect Console over SMDC" ipmitool -A password -H first_ip_address -I lan -U Admin -P password tsol second_ip_address Where the first_IP_address is the address of the X2100 SMDC card(SP-IP), the password variable is the password set up for the user in the SDMC, and the second_ip_address is the address of the console system(preferably the N1SM server). Without the second Ip address also this should work. - Load OS Connect both the bge0 and nge0 to same network. The default SMDC selects channel 2(management port) Do sys-unconfig to set it as per your desire.
