Sun Fire B100x and B200x Server Blade Installation and Setup Guide

This chapter contains the following sections:
A.1 Introduction
The 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.
- showsc tells you the current state of the System Controller's configurable parameters.
- showdate shows you date and time settings for the System Controller.
- showplatform tells you the status (Ok, Faulty, Not Present) of each component (it can also tell you the MAC address of each component).
- showenvironment provides information about the operational state of the components in the chassis (for example, it tells you the internal temperatures, the speed of the fans, and the level of current on the supply rails).
- showfru provides information stored by each component about itself. This information includes static data (for example, hardware version information) and dynamic data (for example, recent events generated by the component).
This chapter tells you how to use these commands to monitor a blade in your chassis. For full information on monitoring the components in a chassis, see the Sun Fire B1600 Blade System Chassis Administration Guide.
A.2 Viewing the System Controller Details
When you run the showsc command, all of the configurable properties of the System Controller are listed. For example:

where the : character indicates omitted data.
Note - B200x blades occupy two slots. The second of these two slots is not shown in the output.
|
A.3 Checking the Date and Time
Note - Users with any of the four levels of user permission on the System Controller can check the date and time on the System Controller by using the showdate command. For information about the levels of permission available, see the Sun Fire B1600 Blade System Chassis Administration Guide.
|
The server blades receive their time and date settings from the System Controller. The System Controller can receive its time settings from a time server (using Network Time Protocol), or you can set it yourself using the setdate command:
sc> setdate [mmdd]HHMM[.SS] | mmddHHMM[cc]yy[.SS]
|
where mm is the month (two digits), dd is the day (two digits), HH is the hour (two digits), MM is the minutes (two digits), SS is seconds (two digits), cc is the century (20), and yy is the year (two digits).
Note - When you set the date and time, you must use Co-ordinated Universal Time (UTC). The server blades work out the local time for your time-zone by using an offset from Co-ordinated Universal Time on the System Controller. They receive the time from the System Controller.
|
To 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.
A.4 Checking the Status of the Hardware Components
Note - Users with any of the four levels of user permission on the System Controller can check the operational status of the hardware by using the showplatform command. For information about the levels of permission available, see the Sun Fire B1600 Blade System Chassis Administration Guide.
|
To check the operational status of the Switch and System Controllers, server blades, and Power Supply Units, type:
sc>showplatform -v

where the : character indicates omitted data.
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.
|
A.5 Checking Operating Conditions Inside the Blades
You can use the showenvironment command to check the operating temperatures, the fans, and the voltage supply rails for 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 on the System Controller can check the health of the platform and its components by using the showenvironment command. For information about the levels of permission available, see the Sun Fire B1600 Blade System Chassis Administration Guide.
|
Checking a Server Blade or Server Blades
To check a single server blade type:
where n is the number of the slot containing the blade. For example:
sc> showenvironment s0
============ Environmental Status ============
System Temperatures (Celsius) Current Status
----------------------------------------------------------------
S0 /temp/enclosure 26 OK
S0 /temp/CPU die 48 OK
System Voltages (Volts) Current Status
----------------------------------------------------------------
S0 /VSensor/5V 100% OK
S0 /VSensor/3V3 100% OK
S0 /VSensor/2V5 99% OK
S0 /VSensor/Vcore 100% OK
System Fans (RPM) Current Status
----------------------------------------------------------------
S0 /fan/cpu_fan 100% OK
sc>
|
To check a number of server blades, specify them in a space-separated list. For example:
sc>showenvironment s0 s1 s2
============ Environmental Status ============
System Temperatures (Celsius) Current Status
----------------------------------------------------------------
S0 /temp/enclosure 26 OK
S0 /temp/CPU die 48 OK
S1 /temp/enclosure 26 OK
S1 /temp/CPU die 42 OK
S2 /temp/enclosure 27 OK
S2 /temp/CPU die 46 OK
System Voltages (Volts) Current Status
----------------------------------------------------------------
S0 /VSensor/5V 100% OK
S0 /VSensor/3V3 100% OK
S0 /VSensor/2V5 99% OK
S0 /VSensor/Vcore 100% OK
S1 /VSensor/5V 100% OK
S1 /VSensor/3V3 100% OK
S1 /VSensor/2V5 99% OK
S1 /VSensor/Vcore 100% OK
S2 /VSensor/5V 99% OK
S2 /VSensor/3V3 100% OK
S2 /VSensor/2V5 99% OK
S2 /VSensor/Vcore 99% OK
System Fans (RPM) Current Status
----------------------------------------------------------------
S0 /fan/cpu_fan 100% OK
S1 /fan/cpu_fan 100% OK
S2 /fan/cpu_fan 100% OK

A.6 Checking the Information Stored by a Blade 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 the Sun Fire B1600 Blade System Chassis Administration Guide.
|
To view the information stored by a component about itself, do the following:
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 the number of the slot containing the blade).
For example, to see FRUID information about SSC0 and the blade in slot s0, you would type:
sc> showfru ssc0 s0
