Sun N1 System Manager 1.2 Site Preparation Guide

Setting Up Provisionable Servers

Before you can use the N1 System Manager to discover provisionable servers, each provisionable server must be set up as follows:

Automatic configuration of credentials is supported for Sun Fire V20z and V40z servers if they are in the factory default state. If you do specify the login accounts and passwords for discovery of a Sun Fire V20z or V40z, the discovery process configures the Sun Fire V20z or V40z using the credentials you provide.

Discovery of a provisionable server will fail if the server's management port has not been assigned an IP address.

Discovery of a SPARC architecture provisionable server will fail if the management processor telnet credentials have not been configured.

If provisionable server credentials are not specified when running discovery, the discovery process uses the default credentials shown in the following tables.

If only one credential is specified for x86 architecture provisionable servers, the missing credential is configured with one of the defaults specified above.

ALOM-based provisionable servers do not support SNMP, and therefore use the mail service on the management server to send hardware notifications to the N1 System Manager.

Although the Sun Fire X2100 does not support SNMP, the X2100 does support IPMI platform event trap (PET), which generates SNMP V1 traps for IPMI events. The N1 System Manager listens for the X2100 IPMI events.
