Platform and Domain Administration and Monitoring Using the Platform Agent
|
This chapter describes Platform Administration procedures and features for Sun Fire midrange systems.
The following topics are discussed:
Sun Fire Midrange Systems Platform Administration Module
For Sun Fire midrange systems, platform administration procedures use the Sun Fire Midrange Systems Platform Administration Module. This module is loaded under the Hardware category in the Module Browser tab of the Object Details window.
Only users with the correct access privileges can see the data in the corresponding views. For example, a user with access privileges for Platform and Domain A can view data only for Platform and Domain A, but not Domain B, Domain C, or Domain D. FIGURE 3-1 shows which tables a platform administrator can see and which tables a domain administrator can see.
FIGURE 3-1 Details Window for a Sun Fire Midrange Systems Platform Object
|
Note - In the examples that follow, the figures show only a Sun Fire midrange systems object. In an actual situation, other types of objects may be present.
|
 To Create a Sun Fire Midrange Systems Domain Object Only
|
1. In the main console window menu bar, choose Edit > Create an Object.... > Node > Sun Management Center Agent - Host.
The system displays the Create Topology Object window. By default, the window opens to the Node tab and Sun Management Center Agent -Host (FIGURE 3-2).
2. Do the following:
a. Enter the label name for the object.
b. Enter the description of the object, if desired.
c. Enter the host name where the domain agent is running.
The host should be a Sun Fire midrange machine.
d. Enter the base agent port number.
The default base agent port number is 161.
3. Complete this procedure with one of the following actions:

FIGURE 3-2 Node Tab in Create Object Window
To Create a Sun Fire Midrange Systems Composite Object
|
Normally, a composite object includes a domain agent and a platform agent. This procedure describes how to create a composite object.
Sun Management Center 3.5 software does not support the creation of composite objects when the platform agent is running in a different domain than the system controller. This is because the SC firmware does not support domain name detection for Sun Management Center, since the SC can be configured with multiple IP/domain interfaces, and the SC firmware has no way to tell which domain Sun Management Center is monitoring.
|
Caution - If the platform agent and domain agent are running in different domains, the composite object is created without the domain agent, even though the domain agent is running. You can create a separate domain agent object by choosing Edit > Create an Object.... > Node > Agent-Host.
|
1. In the main console window menu bar, choose Edit > Create an Object.... > Composite > Sun Fire nnnn, where nnnn is the number of the Sun Fire midrange machine.
The system displays the Create Object window with the Composite tab (see FIGURE 3-3).
2. Do the following:
a. Enter the label name for the composite object
b. Enter the description of the composite object, if desired.
c. Enter the host name where the platform agent is running.
The host can be any machine.
d. Enter the base agent port number.
3. Complete this procedure with one of the following actions:
- Click OK to accept the changes you have made and close this window.
- Click Apply to apply your changes without closing this window.
- Click Help to display the help page for this panel in the help browser.
- Click Cancel to cancel your request.
If an error occurs, an error message is displayed in the status message field.

The following sections explain how to implement these actions.
To Change a Domain Keyswitch Setting
|
The Keyswitch menu item is available for the individual domains (Domain A, B, C, or D).
1. Right-click in the data table to display a pop-up menu.
2. Choose Keyswitch...
In the Hierarchy view, the path to this command is Hardware > Platform Administration Module > Domain X > Domains > data table menu > Keyswitch....
The Keyswitch panel (FIGURE 3-15) is displayed. This panel shows the current position of the virtual keyswitch.
FIGURE 3-15 Keyswitch Panel
If the system controller is networked, you can change the keyswitch position to one of five modes. If the system controller is not networked, you cannot choose an option.
The five modes are:
If the domain is already powered on, selecting On changes only the position on the virtual keyswitch.
If the domain is running the Solaris Operating System, a confirmation panel is displayed when you choose Off. Choosing this mode changes the board state of all the boards in the selected domain to Off and places the boards in low-power mode, allowing them to be physically removed from the chassis.
If the domain is already powered on, selecting Diagnostic changes only the position on the virtual keyswitch.
If the domain is already powered on, selecting Secure changes only the position on the virtual keyswitch.
If the domain is running the Solaris Operating System, a confirmation panel is displayed when you choose Standby. Choosing this mode changes the state of all boards in the selected domain to Standby, but does not put the boards in the low- power mode.
