Installation and Setup Using the CLI

Installing the Sun Fire 15K/12K Add-on Software Using the CLI

Install the Sun Management Center 3.5 base software and Sun Fire 15K/12K add-on software on the Sun Management Center Server, the system controllers, the Sun Fire 15K/12K domains, and the console.

Caution - If your system controller is a CP2140 board, you need to reinstall system controller agent software on both the system controllers and the Sun Management Center server to support the CP2140 board.

For detailed instructions about installing the software, refer to "Installing on the Solaris Platform Using es-inst" in Appendix B of the Sun Management Center 3.5 Installation and Configuration Guide.

You come to a place in the install process where it lists each add-on product, and asks if you want to install the product. The two products that are specific to Sun Fire 15K/12K systems are:

Sun Fire 15K/12K Monitoring

Dynamic Reconfiguration for Sun Fire 15K-3800 platforms (if you want to use dynamic reconfiguration on a domain)

When the installation process completes, a list of installed products is displayed. You are asked whether you want to set up the Sun Management Center components.

Note - When setting up or installing the Sun Management Center software, type y for yes, n for no, or q to quit.

Setting Up the Sun Fire 15K/12K Add-on Software Using the CLI

Set up the Sun Management Center 3.5 base software and Sun Fire 15K/12K add-on software on the Sun Management Center Server, the system controllers, the Sun Fire 15K/12K domains, and the console.

For detailed instructions about setting up the base software, refer to "Setting Up on the Solaris Platform Using es-setup" in Appendix B of the Sun Management Center 3.5 Installation and Configuration Guide.

If the base product setup succeeded and you selected any add-on products in installation, the setup process runs the setup script for each add-on product you selected. There is no extra setup required for Sun Fire 15K/12K add-on software for the Sun Management Center server or the console. There is extra setup required for Sun Fire 15K/12K add-on software on system controllers and Sun Fire 15K/12K domains.

Setting Up System Controllers

This section describes how to install and set up the Sun Management Center 3.5 software on a system controller. You need to install and set up this software on both system controllers; the procedure is the same for both. If you are reinstalling software on a system controller, be sure to uninstall the Sun Management Center software on the system controller, before you reinstall (see Uninstalling Software Using the CLI).

When the Sun Fire 15K/12K Domain Setup starts, the system displays this message.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Starting Sun Management Center Sun Fire 15K/12K Platform Setup

----------------------------------------------------------------

....

Is this Sun Fire 15K/12K platform configured with a spare SC? [y|n|q]

1. Type y for yes if your Sun Fire 15K/12K system is configured with a spare system controller, or type n for no if there is no spare system controller.

If you choose yes, the system displays this message.

Enter the alternate SC hostname (not main_hostname) for this platform.

Alternate SC hostname: alternate_hostname

2. If you have a spare system controller, type in the host name for the spare (or alternate) system controller.

The system displays this message.

The Platform agent will create a composite object that includes Sun Management Center agents loaded on Sun Fire 15K/12K domains.

The default port to be checked for Sun Fire 15K/12K Domains is: 161.

Do you want to change the port that will be checked? [y|n|q]

Caution - Specify the same port number that you specify when setting up the domain agents on all Sun 15K/12K domains. Otherwise, the Sun Fire 15K/12K composite will not work.

3. Type n to not change the default port or y to change the default port. If you type y, you are prompted to specify a new default port number; type in the port number.

The Sun Management Center Sun Fire 15K/12K System Controller Agent Setup starts when you see this message:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Starting Sun Management Center Sun Fire 15K/12K System Controller Agent Setup

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The system displays one of the following messages depending on the machine you are using for an SC.

If the system detects you are using a CP1500, you receive this message:

Proper setup requires loading the drivers i2c, i2cadc, i2cgpio.

This will enable us to collect voltage and temperature data for the CP1500.

Please refer to the SPARCengine ASM Reference Manual for more information.

Would you like to continue? [y|n|q]

Note - The es-startup script loads the drivers automatically on the CP1500 if you type y for yes to continue.

If the system detects you are using a CP2140, you receive this message:

Proper setup requires loading the Solaris Management Console software and patches for CP2140 support.

This will enable us to collect temperature data for the CP2140.

Would you like to continue? [y|n|q]

If the system does not detect that you are using a CP1500 or a CP2140, you receive this message:

Error, an unsupported SC type has been detected.

SC is neither CP1500 nor CP2140.

Would you like to continue? [y|n|q]

4. Type y to continue the system controller agent setup. Type n to not continue or q to quite.

If you answer y to continue, the system completes the system controller agent setup and displays this message.

Do you want to start Sun Management Center agent now? [y|n|q]

5. Type y to start the Sun Management Center base agent, Sun Fire 15K/12K platform agent, and Sun Fire 15K/12K system controller agent now. Type n to not start this software now.

Setting Up Sun Fire 15K/12K Domains

This section describes how to set up the Sun Fire 15K/12K domain agents. The procedure is the same for setting up each domain you want to monitor. If you are reinstalling Sun Management Center software on a domain, be sure you uninstall the Sun Management Center 3.5 software on a domain, before you reinstall (see Uninstalling Software Using the CLI).

When the Sun Fire 15K/12K Domain Setup starts, the system displays this message.
