You can view current network settings for the service processor on the Sun Blade T6300 server module using the Sun Blade 6000 chassis management module (CMM). However, you cannot make changes to the service processor network settings using the CMM. To make changes to the service processor network settings, you need to log in to the St. Paul service processor.
The service processor on the Sun Blade T6300 server module can only be reset by logging in to the SP (via ethernet or via RJ-45 serial port) and issuing the resetsc command at the sc> prompt.
This section describes hardware issues with the Sun Blade T6300 server module.
The Sun Blade T6300 server module supports SAS1 functionality and is compatible with the following NEMs. You should check the NEM documentation for firmware update information.
Note - There are no 10Gbe fabric expansion modules (FEMs) for the Sun Blade T6300. The Sun Blade T6300 server module only supports 1Gbe on these NEMs |
Note - You should only use the 4-connector cable dongle with the Sun Blade T6300 server module: do not use the 3-connector cable dongle. The RJ45 connectors have different wiring. |
The 4-connector cable dongle is intended for initial system setup, configuration, testing, and file transfers. Do not leave the cable dongle attached to the server module.
FIGURE 1 Cable Dongle Connectors
Hardware handshaking signals are not transmitted through the RJ-45 cable dongle connector. Only transmit, receive, and ground signals are transmitted. FIGURE 2 shows the RJ45 connector pinouts.
FIGURE 2 Pinouts for the RJ45 Connector on the Cable Dongle
Some third-party USB connectors might have thick molding. If you attempt to connect two USB connectors with thick molding, they could distort the dongle connector and intermittent signals could result. You should connect a USB hub that allows more cables to be connected without deforming the connectors.
TABLE 1 lists known issues for which a change request ID (CR ID, formerly known as a bug ID) has been assigned. For more information about these CRs, visit the SunSolve web site.
In the Sun Blade T6300 Server Module Installation Guide, Figure 1-2 describes the dongle cable is an Ethernet cable. This information is not correct. The RJ-45 connector on the cable dongle can only be used to connect to a virtual console. The connector provides a connection to the service processor on the Sun Blade T6300 server module.
The Sun Blade T6300 Server Module Installation Guide incorrectly describes the syntax for the poweron command. You must type one of these two commands:
Table 2-3 of the service manual incorrectly describes the Blue OK to Remove LED behaviors. This is the correct information:
