Entering System Information in the Trusted Solaris 3.1.1 Environment

To Name the Platform and Control Board

If you did not restore the SSP environment during the install procedure, you will be prompted for system information when running the /opt/SUNWssp/bin/ssp_config command for the main SSP, or during the reboot of the SSP.

If you are rebooting, you must be at the SSP workstation console to see the messages described in this section. You cannot see these messages or perform these steps from a remote login session.

1. Specify the processor speed by typing in the corresponding number:

   • 1 for 250 MHz processors

   • 2 for 336 MHz processors

   • 3 for 400 MHz processors

   • 4 for 500 MHz processors

   • 5 for Unlisted (manually enter clock values)

     If you have a mixture of processors, select the number corresponding to the lowest processor speed. You are prompted to confirm your selection.

2. Enter the name of the platform this SSP will service.

   The platform name is simply a name by which the SSP software refers to the entire Sun Enterprise 10000 host. The platform name is not the host name of a domain. A domain name can be the same as the platform name, but it is not recommended.

   Note -

   The term starfire is reserved and cannot be used as the platform name.

   Note -

   If you make a mistake during this configuration session, continue to the end of the prompts where you will be given an opportunity to correct any errors.

3. Define the host control boards.

   For each control board slot, indicate whether there is a control board present and the host name for the respective control board (host names are in the /etc/hosts file). If the IP address for a control board is not found, you will be prompted for this information. If two control boards are present, you will be asked which control board is the primary (active) control board.

   Here is a representative session:

   ---

   Do you have a control board 0? (y/n)y
   Please enter the host name of the control board 0 [allxf4cb0]: xf4-cb0
   Do you have a control board 1? (y/n)y
   Please enter the host name of the control board 1 [allxf4cb1]: xf4-cb1
   
   Please identify the primary control board.
   
   Is Control Board 0 [xf4-cb0] the primary? (y/n)y
   
   Platform name     = allxf4
   Control board 0 = xf4-cb0 => 129.153.151.123
   Control board 1 = xf4-cb1 => 129.153.152.123
   Primary Control Board = 0
   
   Is this correct? (y/n)y
   

   ---

   You are prompted to indicate whether this is a main SSP or spare SSP:

   ---

   Are you currently configuring the MAIN SSP? (y/n) y
   

   ---

   When the upgrade is complete, the following message is displayed:

   ---

   MAIN SSP configuration completed.
