This chapter provides specific information about the agent modules contained in the Starfire add-on components:
- Starfire Domain Config Reader (Config-Reader4u1D)
- Starfire Platform Config Reader (Config-Reader4u1P)
- SSP Status module ( sspStatus)
This chapter also provides specific information about how to change rule limits for the Starfire domain Config Reader and Starfire platform Config Reader.
Appendix D of the Sun Management Center 3.5 User's Guide describe the base Sun Management Center modules that monitor various components of your system, including your hardware, operating environment, local applications, and remote systems.
Chapter 10 in the Sun Management Center 3.5 User's Guide provides general information about how to use the Attribute Editor to set alarm limits.
Module Properties
The tables in this chapter provide brief descriptions of each property in a module. If a property is monitored by a Sun Management Center rule, the name of that rule is shown in the table. For descriptions of these rules, see Starfire Config Reader Rules.
A field-replaceable property means that the component can be replaced on-site.
A hot-plug property means that the component can be removed from the platform without shutting the system down.
Properties that can be graphed are noted in the property description. Refer to Chapter 9 of the Sun Management Center 3.5 User's Guide for more information about graphing properties.
Note - It is not always possible for Sun Management Center software to determine the value for a particular property. When the value is unknown, the property value is displayed as --.

Starfire Domain Config Reader Module
The Starfire Domain Config Reader module provides the hardware configuration for Starfire domains. During Starfire domain add-on setup, this module is configured for automatic loading into the Starfire domain agent and is displayed under the Browser hardware icon.
Module Refresh Intervals
Sun Management Center agent modules refresh their data at periodic intervals and the browser periodically retrieves the current value of agent data. This combination of periodic refreshes and updates provides a current view of module information from the Details window.
The Starfire domain Config Reader module is refreshed every minute, and the refresh of all module data is driven by the refresh of the System folder. When viewing the module data from the browser, you can request an immediate refresh of the module data. See To Refresh Starfire Domain Config Reader Data for more information.
You can also change the periodic interval at which the module refreshes its data. This periodic interval balances getting timely notification of changes to your system configuration with using system resources to accomplish this periodic refresh. See To Change the Starfire Domain Config Reader Refresh Interval for more information.
To Refresh Starfire Domain Config Reader Data
|
1. Open the Starfire domain Details window and select the Browser tab.
2. Select any property within the System folder and refresh that data.
This causes the Starfire domain Config Reader module to refresh all its data.
3. If you want to view information not contained in the System folder, select that property in the browser and refresh the data.
This updates the browser with the latest value of that property.
To Change the Starfire Domain Config Reader Refresh Interval
|
1. Open the Starfire domain Details window and select the Browser tab.
2. Select any property within the System folder and invoke the Attribute Editor.
|
Caution - Do not change the refresh interval to a value less than its default value.
|
3. Select the Refresh tab and change the refresh interval.

Starfire Platform Config Reader Module
The Starfire Platform Config Reader module provides information about the hardware configuration for the entire Starfire platform. During Starfire platform add-on setup, this module is configured for automatic loading into the SSP platform agent and is displayed under the Browser Hardware icon.
This module is automatically disabled when the SSP becomes the spare SSP, and is enabled when the SSP becomes the main SSP. When the module is disabled, no platform information is available.
Module Refresh
The Starfire Platform Config Reader module gathers its data from two primary sources: the SSP snmpd agent and the Starfire domain Config Reader modules. SNMP traps are monitored by the module to get prompt notification of system configuration changes. In addition, the configuration information is updated at periodic intervals in case an SNMP trap is missed.
Gathering so much data at one time consumes too many system resources, so the platform agent does not gather it all at once. A complete refresh of the module data requires a span of 3-12 minutes, depending on the system configuration.
Using the browser from the platform Details window, you can refresh any module property, but doing so only retrieves the current value of the property from the platform agent. It does not force a recalculation of the data.
The Refresh Model properties described in Refresh Model enable you to start a refresh of the SSP or Starfire domain model data.
Starfire Platform Config Reader Properties
Platform Config Reader information gathered from the Starfire domain Config Reader is identified in the property description. Tables that have information gathered from the Starfire domain Config Reader have a Cache Updated property that is a time stamp of when this information was gathered from the Starfire domain.
Note - Since the Starfire domain configuration information is updated only when it changes and Starfire domain data changes infrequently, the Cache Updated time stamp may appear old even though the data is current.
|
If the Cache Updated property has a value of --, Starfire domain information for that table row is unavailable.
Note - A ∞C notation refers to temperatures measured in degrees Celsius.

|
Unused
|
|
Component is not needed in the Starfire domain configuration due to other components which are either not physically present or were not configured by POST.
|
Blacklisted
|
Caution
|
Component was blacklisted during POST configuration. The physical presence of blacklisted components is unknown.
|
Redlisted
|
Caution
|
Component was redlisted during POST configuration. The physical presence of redlisted components is unknown.
|
Processor Status Rule (e10kproc)
The Processor Status Rule raises a caution alarm if the processor status is offline.
Tape Warnings Rule (e10ktwrn)
The Tape Warnings Rule raises an alarm when the number of tape warnings detected in /var/adm/messages exceeds the given limits. The Tape Warnings property value for a tape device that generates an alarm is set to zero when the alarm is acknowledged. This property value is also cleared when the Sun Management Center agent is restarted.
Please examine the /var/adm/messages file to determine the exact cause of the warning.
The default limits for this rule are shown in TABLE 6-39. See Changing Config Reader Rule Limits for information about how to customize these alarm limits.

Disk Warnings Rule (e10kdwrn)
The Disk Warnings Rule raises an alarm when the number of disk warnings detected in /var/adm/messages exceeds the given limits. The Disk Warnings property value for a disk that generates an alarm is set to zero when the alarm is acknowledged. This property value is also cleared when the Sun Management Center agent is restarted.
Please examine the /var/adm/messages file to determine the exact cause of the warning.
The default limits for this rule are shown in TABLE 6-40. See Changing Config Reader Rule Limits for information about how to customize these alarm limits.

Memory ECC Errors Rule (e10kmerr)
The Memory ECC Errors Rule raises an alarm when the number of ECC errors detected in /var/adm/messages exceeds the given limits.
The ECC Errors property value for a DIMM that generates an alarm is set to zero when the alarm is acknowledged from the Starfire domain Details window. This property value is also cleared when the Sun Management Center agent on the Starfire domain is restarted.
Note - The property value is not cleared when the alarm is acknowledged from the Starfire platform Details window.
|
ECC errors are not always generated due to hardware failures, but may instead indicate normal transient memory errors. In addition, the component cited in the ECC error may not be the cause of the problem, but only the component in which the problem was detected. Examine the cause of the ECC errors as reported in the Starfire domain's /var/adm/messages to determine if the reported DIMM ECC errors represent a component which is failing.
The default limits for this rule are shown in TABLE 6-41. See Changing Config Reader Rule Limits for information about how to customize these alarm limits.

Starfire Domain Trap Rule (e10kdtrp)
The Starfire Domain Trap Rule raises an alarm when a domain trap of the appropriate type occurs. Critical alarms are raised for arbstop and watchdog traps. A caution alarm is raised for recordstop traps. The property value for the trap count is set to zero when the alarm is acknowledged. This property value is also cleared when the Sun Management Center agent is restarted.
Temperature Rule (e10ktemp)
The Temperature Rule monitors the temperature of the various hardware components and the ambient room temperature. For ASICs, processors, and power supplies, alarms are generated when the temperature exceeds the limits shown in TABLE 6-42:

|
The ambient temperature is monitored and a critical alarm is generated if it drops below 10.0 degrees Celsius or rises above 35.0 degrees Celsius.
Boards that have not been thermally calibrated report ASIC temperatures of -1, which raises a critical alarm. In the unlikely event that you experience this problem, contact your service provider.
If a component such as a processor is not present, its temperature is reported as 0 degrees.
Note - During setup of the Starfire platform (SSP) component, the SSP ssp_resource file is read to determine the rule levels shown in TABLE 6-42. The limit shown in this table may be different from your system configuration. Be sure to rerun the Starfire platform (SSP) setup if the limits in the ssp_resource file change.
|
Note - Temperature alarm limits cannot be modified from the Attribute Editor window.

Comparison Rule (rCompare)
The comparison rule monitors a property for various standard comparisons such as greater than or less than. When examining the property in the browser display, you can also examine and edit the rule limits for each property, using the Sun Management Center Console Attribute Editor. See Changing Config Reader Rule Limits for information about how to customize these alarm limits.
Changing Config Reader Rule Limits
The rule limits shown for each rule are the default limits for that rule. If the property is contained within a table, these limits apply to all the rows in that table. Using the Sun Management Center console, you can change the limits for a row instance of the property as shown in To Edit Rule Parameters. If you want to change the default limits for all rows contained in a table, you can edit configuration files as shown in To Change Default Rule Limits.
To Edit Rule Parameters

Refer to Chapter 10, "Attribute Editor" in the Sun Management Center 3.5 User's Guide for more specific instructions on using the Attribute Editor to modify alarm limits.

To change the default rule limits for all rows within a table, you must change the default limit in the appropriate configuration file. All rule limits are specified as alarmlimit variables. The following example sets the e10kmerr-info alarmlimit variable to 3:
alarmlimit:e10kmerr-info =3
|
For general purpose rules such as the rCompare rule, the alarmlimit variable must be defined within the context of the property it applies to. In the following example, the context is status.snmpErrorCount:
status = {
snmpErrorCount = {
alarmlimit:info-gt =
alarmlimit:warning-gt = "5"
alarmlimit:error-gt = "25"
}
}
|
Note - If no alarm limit is specified for an alarm level, Sun Management Center software does not check for that alarm level.
|
The default versions of the configuration files are located in /opt/SUNWsymon/modules/cfg. You can change the alarmlimit variables for the Starfire configuration files shown in the tables that follow.
Note - If you installed the Sun Management Center software in a different directory than /opt, use that directory instead.

To Change Default Rule Limits
|
1. Log in as superuser to the host whose alarm limits you want to change.
2. If the configuration file you want to modify is not present in the /var/opt/SUNWsymon/cfg directory, type:
# cd /var/opt/SUNWsymon/cfg
# cp /opt/SUNWsymon/modules/cfg/_configuration_file_ .
# chmod 644 _configuration_file_
|
Note - If you installed the Sun Management Center software in a different directory than /opt, use that directory instead in the path to the configuration file you are copying. The /var/opt directory remains the same, regardless of where you installed the Sun Management Center software.
|
3. Edit the configuration file to change the alarm limit values as described in Changing Default Rule Limits.
4. Observe these rules when replacing values:
- Alarm limits must be unsigned integers.
- Alarm limit values should increase as the alarm severity increases. A critical limit should be larger than the alert limit for the same alarm limit variable, which in turn should be larger than its caution limit.
5. Save the file when you have finished changing it.
6. To activate these changes, stop and then restart the Sun Management Center agent into which the module is loaded, using the commands in TABLE 6-50:
TABLE 6-50 Commands to Stop and Restart Sun Management Center Agents
Module Name
|
Command to Stop Agent
|
Command to Start Agent
|
Config Reader (Starfire Domain)
|

|
/opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-start -a
|
Config Reader (Starfire Platform)
|
/opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-stop -l
|
/opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-start -l
|
Reading Sun Management Center Log Files
The Sun Management Center agent and platform agents write to the following log files, which may be viewed as described in Appendix B of the Sun Management Center 3.5 User's Guide. These files may contain diagnostic information if problems are encountered running the Starfire modules. All of these files are contained in the directory /var/opt/SUNWsymon/log:
TABLE 6-51 Sun Management Center Log Files
File
|
Agent that writes to this file
|
agent.log
|
Starfire domain and SSP agents
|
configd4u1D.log
|
Starfire domain agent. Contains information related to the Config-Reader4u1D module data collection.
|
platform.log
|
Starfire platform agent. Contains information related to the Config-Reader4u1P module data collection.
