ALOM CMT Configuration Variables Overview

ALOM CMT has nonvolatile configuration variables that you can use to change ALOM CMT behavior. The default values for these variables are preinstalled. You customize the variables for the first time using the setupsc interactive script command. You can change settings for individual variables using the ALOM CMT shell. See setupsc for more information.

To Use Configuration Variables in the ALOM CMT Command Shell

Note - You must have a level user permission to set configuration variables from the ALOM CMT shell. Refer to userperm for more information about setting user permissions.

From the ALOM CMT command shell:

To specify a value (or values) for a settable variable, use the setupsc command.

See setupsc.

To show the configuration variables and their settings, use the showsc command.

See showsc.

To set a value for a configuration variable, use the setsc command.

See setsc.

To reset all variables to their factory defaults, use the setdefaults command.

See setdefaults.

Serial Management Port Variables

The host system sets the serial management port variables when it starts up, so these variables are read-only. ALOM CMT uses the serial management port variables to report the serial management (SER MGT) settings on the host server. To view the settings for these variables, use the showsc command. See showsc.

You can view settings for the following serial port variables, but you cannot set or adjust them:

ser_baudrate

ser_data

ser_parity

ser_stopbits

`sc_clipasswdecho`

Use this variable to turn password echo on and off. When password echo is on, each character that a user types when logging in to ALOM CMT is echoed to the screen with an asterisk (*). Note that the actual password is never echoed to the screen.

The default value for this variable is y (echo asterisks to screen).

For example, to change the value of this variable to n (no echo) type the following command at the ALOM CMT shell prompt:

sc> setsc sc_clipasswdecho n

You can specify a value for this variable using the setupsc command. The setupsc script prompts you to enter a value as follows:

Should password entry echo '*'s [y] ?

`sc_customerinfo`

Use this variable to store information about the host server, or any other information you want to enter that identifies the host server to ALOM CMT. This information is included in any email alerts.

If you answer y when the setupsc utility asks Do you wish to configure the SC parameters [y]?, then the setupsc utility returns the following prompt:

Enter any customer data for this platform (maximum of 40
characters) []?

For example:

Enter any customer data for this platform (maximum of 40
characters) []? This is the test lab server.

`sc_escapechars`

Use the escape character sequence to switch from a system console session back to ALOM CMT. The sequence is limited to two characters. The second character is always . (Period). The default value is #. (Hash-Period). The sequence can be customized.

You can specify a value for this variable using the setupsc command. The setupsc script prompts you to enter a value as follows:

Enter the console session escape sequence (2 characters). The first
character can be any printable characters or control-A through
control- Y except for control-C, control-D, control-H, control-J,
or control-M. The second character must be a ".". [#.]

`sc_powerondelay`

Use this variable to cause the server to wait for a short time before powering on automatically. The delay is a random interval of one to five seconds. Delaying the server power-on helps minimize current surges on the main power source. This is important when multiple servers in racks power on after a power outage.

This variable takes effect only if sc_powerstatememory is set to true.

You can set the power-on delay using the setupsc command if you have already answered yes to the setupsc command's sc_powerstatememory question (see sc_powerstatememory). When the setupsc script asks the following question, type y to enable the delay or n to disable it:

Should poweron sequencing be enabled [y]?

See setupsc for more information about that command.

From the ALOM CMT command shell the values for this variable are true and false.

`sc_powerstatememory`

ALOM CMT runs as soon as power is applied to the host server, even if the server is powered off. When you first apply power to the host server, ALOM CMT starts to run, but the server does not start up until you power it on.

The sc_powerstatememory variable enables you to specify the state of the host server as false (keep the host server off) or true (return the server to the state it was in when the power was removed). This is useful in the event of a power failure, or if you physically move the server to a different location.

For example, if the host server is running when power is lost and the sc_powerstatememory variable is set to false, the host server remains off when power is restored. If the sc_powerstatememory variable is set to true, the host server restarts when the power is restored.

The values for this variable are as follows.

true - When power is restored, returns the server to the state it was in before the power was removed.

false - Keeps the server off when power is applied.

When the setupsc script asks the following question, type y to enable the state or n to disable it:

Should powerstate memory be enabled [y]?

If you answer yes to this question, the setupsc script prompts you to configure sc_powerondelay as well (see sc_powerondelay).

`sys_autorestart`

Use this variable to specify how ALOM should handle expiration of the Solaris watchdog timer. The valid values are none, reset, and dumpcore (default value: reset).

When the setupsc script asks the following questions, type y in reply to the first question to then set the value specified by the second question.

Do you wish to configure the platform diagnostic parameters [y]? y
 
What action should the SC invoke if the OS is hung. The available
options are `none', `dumpcore' or `reset' where a dumpcore will
attempt to force an OS Core Dump Panic [reset]? reset

Note - The default option (reset) supports the Solaris watchdog timer.

`sys_autorunonerror`

Use this variable to specify whether the host should continue to boot after system diagnostics have discovered an error. The default value is false.

When the setupsc script asks the following questions, type y in reply to the first question to then set the value specified by the second question, to which you can reply y to enable the continued boot or n to disable it:

Do you wish to configure the platform diagnostic parameters [y]? y
[...]
Should the host continue to boot after error is encountered [n]?

`sys_eventlevel`

Use this variable to specify the level of ALOM events that you want ALOM to send to the host server. There are four levels of events:

0 (None) - Send no events

1 (Critical) - Critical events only

2 (Major) - Critical and major events

3 (Minor) - Critical, major, and minor events

The default value for this variable is 2 (Major).

To view the current setting for this variable, use the showsc command.

See showsc for more information about this command.

`sys_enetaddr`

This variable is automatically configured by the system software, so you cannot set it or change it. The value is read and determined from the server's MAC address and then stored as a variable in ALOM CMT.

sys_enetaddr is the MAC address for the net0 port. The MAC addresses for each additional port increments from the sys_enetaddr. For example, net1 is sys_enetaddr+1.

To view the current setting for this variable, use the showsc command.

See showsc for more information about this command.
