Monitoring Components

This chapter contains the following sections:


6.1 Introduction

This System Controller's command-line interface includes commands that provide global information about the chassis and its components. These are the showsc, showplatform, showenvironment, and showfru commands.


6.2 Viewing System Controller Details

The showsc command lists all configurable properties of the System Controller:

Note - B200x blades occupy two slots. The second of these two slots is not shown in the output.




6.3 Checking the Date and Time



Note - Users with any of the four levels of user permission can check the date and time on the System Controller by using the showdate command. For information about the levels of permission available, see Chapter 3.



single-step bulletTo check the date and time on the SC, type:

sc> showdate
Wed Mar 27 11:42:40 UTC 2002

For information about setting the date and time, refer to the Sun Fire B1600 Blade System Chassis Software Setup Guide.


6.4 Checking the Operational Status of the Hardware Components



Note - Users with any of the four levels of user permission can check the operational status of the hardware by using the showplatform command. For information about the levels of permission available, see Chapter 3.



single-step bulletTo check the operational status of a blade or of several blades, type showplatform followed by an individual blade slot or a space-separated list of blade slots. For example:

sc> showplatform s10 s12 s15 
FRU       Status         Type

single-step bulletTo check the status of a component (or of all components) without displaying information about whether the operating system is running, use the -p option on the command line. For example:

sc> showplatform -p sscn/swt 
FRU       Status         Type          
--------  -------------  ------------  
SSC0      OK             SF B1600 SSC        

single-step bulletTo check the operational status of the Switch and System Controllers, server blades, and Power Supply Units, and to see their MAC addresses and hostnames (if applicable), type:

sc>showplatform -v
 
FRU       Status         Type          Part No.  Serial No.

Note - B200x blades occupy two slots. The second of these two slots is not shown in the output.





Note - If you do not specify -v on the command line for this command, you will see only the operational status of each piece of hardware, not the MAC address.




6.5 Checking Operating Conditions Inside the Components

You can use the showenvironment command to check the operating temperatures, the fans, and the voltage supply rails inside each blade, switch, power supply unit, and SSC inside the chassis. The command also displays the warning and shutdown thresholds.



Note - Users with any of the four levels of user permission can check the health of the platform and its components by using the showenvironment command. For information about the levels of permission available, see Chapter 3.

single-step bulletTo check a single switch, type:

sc> showenvironment sscn/swt

where n is either 0 or 1 depending on whether you want to monitor the switch in SSC-0 or SSC1.

single-step bulletTo check both switches, type:

sc> showenvironment ssc0/swt ssc1/swt

6.6 Checking the Information Stored by Each Component About Itself

You can use the showfru command to view a database of information stored by each component about itself.



Note - To use the showfru command, you need to have c-level user permission. For more information about permission levels, see Chapter 3.



single-step bulletTo view the information stored by a component about itself, do the following:

sc> showfru FRU list

Where FRU list is a single FRU or a space-separated list of FRUs. The FRUs can be ssc0, ssc1, ps0, ps1, or sn (where n is a slot number from 0 through 15).

For example, to see FRUID information about SSC0, you would type:

sc> showfru ssc0
----------------------------------------------------------------
FRUID Records for FRU SSC0
----------------------------------------------------------------
/FRUID/ManR/UNIX_Timestamp32: Mon Oct 14 22:49:04 UTC 2002
/FRUID/ManR/Fru_Description: SUNW,Sun Fire B1600 SSC, 8x1GB NET, 1x10MB

/FRUID/ManR/Manufacture_Loc: Hsinchu, Taiwan
/FRUID/ManR/Sun_Part_No: 5405185
/FRUID/ManR/Sun_Serial_No:
SC>

where the : character on a line by itself indicates omitted data.

single-step bulletTo find the chassis serial number, run the showfru ch command on the System Controller's command line and inspect the field for /ManR/Sun_serial_No.

sc> showfru ch

6.7 Turning the Locator LED On or Off

If there is a problem with any of the components on your chassis and you need to locate the chassis so that you can service it, use the following command to turn on the locator LED.

single-step bulletTo turn on the locator LED, type:

sc> setlocator on

single-step bulletTo turn off the locator LED, type:

sc> setlocator off

For an illustration of the locator and other LEDs on the front and rear of the system chassis, see Appendix A.
