|
This chapter describes using the domain agent for Sun Fire entry-level midrange systems.
To start and stop agents and to create nodes, refer to the Sun Management Center User's Guide.
This chapter contains the following topics:
The Config-Reader Module
A Config-Reader module, Entry-Level Midrange Config Reader, is automatically loaded during installation. You can use the Config-Reader module to see the physical view and logical view of your host.
In addition, the Config-Reader module monitors your hardware and alerts you whenever there is a problem. For example, this module checks for dual inline memory module (DIMM) errors.
The Config-Reader icon is located under the Hardware icon in the Details window (FIGURE 3-1).
 To Use the Config-Reader Module
|
1. In the Sun Management Center console, double-click a Sun Fire entry-level midrange system icon.
The Details window is displayed (FIGURE 3-1).
FIGURE 3-1 Details Window
2. Double-click the Hardware icon in the left frame of the Details window.
The Entry-Level Midrange Config Reader icons are displayed. (FIGURE 3-2).
If the icons are not displayed, the Entry-level Midrange Config Reader module is not loaded. See Loading the Config-Reader Module for information about loading the module.
FIGURE 3-2 Config-Reader Icons
3. Double-click the Entry-Level Midrange Config Reader icon.
All devices in the system are displayed (FIGURE 3-3).
4. Double-click a device icon to display properties and values for that device.
To see the properties and values that are available, see The Config-Reader Tables.
FIGURE 3-3 Config-Reader Devices
Loading the Config-Reader Module
If the icon for the Entry-Level Midrange Config Reader module is not displayed in the Module Browser tab of the Details window for your Sun Fire entry-level midrange systems (as seen in FIGURE 3-2), the corresponding module is not loaded. In that case, you can manually load the module, as shown below.
To Load a Module
|
1. In the Sun Management Center console, double-click the Sun Fire entry-level midrange system icon.
The Details window is displayed (FIGURE 3-1).
2. Click the Module Manager tab in the Details window.
The Module Manager data is displayed (FIGURE 3-4).
FIGURE 3-4 Module Manager Tab in the Details Window With Config Reader Selected
3. Select Entry-Level Midrange Config Reader in the Available Modules list, then click Load.
The Module Loader pop-up window is displayed.
4. Click OK in the Module Loader pop-up window.
- If you have sufficient access privileges, the pop-up window closes, and the module moves into the Modules with Load Status list.
- If you do not have sufficient access privileges, the pop-up window displays an error message. See the Sun Management Center User's Guide for information about access privileges.
The Config-Reader Tables
This section includes the Config-Reader module's data property tables:
The tables in this section describe the data properties contained in each of the domain Config-Reader tables, as well as related alarms.
|
Caution - The property values in tables are updated at five-minute intervals. Alarms can be generated only when the property values are updated, so an alarm can be delayed by up to five minutes. This delay can be particularly important when monitoriing temperature.
|
When selected, the Config-Reader data property tables are displayed in the Module Browser tab of the Details window. For more information, refer to Chapter 7, "Browsing Information About a Managed Object," in the Sun Management Center User's Guide.
