Installation and Setup Using the CLI

Installing the Sun Fire High-End Systems Add-On Software Using the CLI

Install the Sun Management Center base software and Sun Fire high-end systems add-on software on the Sun Management Center Server, the system controllers, the Sun Fire high-end systems domains, and the console.

Caution - If your system controller is a CP2140 board, you must reinstall system controller agent software on both the system controllers andthe 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 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 high-end systems are:

Sun Fire High-End Systems Monitoring

Dynamic Reconfiguration for Sun Fire High-End and Midrange Systems 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.

You can install the Sun Fire high-end or midrange systems Platform Agents on any machine where you have Sun Management Center software running.

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 High-End Systems Add-On Software Using the CLI

Set up the Sun Management Center base software and Sun Fire high-end systems add-on software on the Sun Management Center Server, the system controllers, the Sun Fire high-end systems 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 Installation and Configuration Guide.

If the base product setup succeeded and you chose any add-on products during installation, the setup process runs the setup script for each add-on product you chose. No extra setup is required for Sun Fire high-end systems add-on software for the Sun Management Center server or the console. Extra setup is required, however, for Sun Fire high-end systems add-on software on system controllers and Sun Fire high-end systems domains.

Setting Up System Controllers

This section describes how to install and set up the Sun Management Center software on a system controller. You must 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 high-end systems Platform Setup starts, the system displays this message.

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

Starting Sun Management Center Sun Fire High-End Systems Platform Setup

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

....

Is this Sun Fire High-End Systems platform configured with a spare SC? [y|n|q]

1. Type y for yes if your Sun Fire high-end 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 alternative) 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 High-End Systems domains.

The default port to be checked for Sun Fire High-End Systems Domains is: 161.

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

Caution - Specify the sameport number that you specify when setting up the domain agents on allSun Fire high-end systems domains. Otherwise, the Sun Fire high-end systems composite will notwork.

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 High-End Systems System Controller Agent Setup starts when you see this message:

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

Starting Sun Management Center Sun Fire High-End Systems 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 quit.

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 high-end systems platform agent and system controller agent now. Type n to not start this software now.

Setting Up Sun Fire High-End Systems Domains

This section describes how to set up the Sun Fire high-end systems 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 software on a domain, before you reinstall (see Uninstalling Software Using the CLI).

When the Sun Fire High-End Systems Domain Setup starts, the system displays this message.

The Domain Config Reader for Sun Fire High-End Systems will collect configuration and status information for your tape drives at regular polling intervals. This can be disruptive to tape drive controllers that do not allow concurrent access.

Would you like to disable this feature? [y|n|q]

1. Type y to disable polling for your tape drives, or type n to not disable tape drive polling.

If your tape drive controllers do not allow concurrent access, you will want to disable this feature.

Either way, the system displays this message.

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

2. Type y for yes to start the Sun Management Center base agent and Sun Fire high-end systems domain agent now. Type n to not start this software now.
