Entering System Information in the Trusted Solaris SSP 3.3 Environment

If you did not restore a backup file during the install procedure, you will be prompted for the following system information.

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.

To Enter SSP System Information

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

   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.

   ---

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 in existing configuration files, 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.

4. Confirm your responses to all the system information questions.

5. Indicate whether this is a main SSP or spare SSP.

   The following is an example session that shows the prompts and responses displayed if you did not restore a backup file:

   ssp$ /opt/SUNWssp/bin/ssp_config
   
    You must specify what type of processor modules you have installed in your
    Enterprise-10000 platform. Please select one of the options below.
   
    1) 250 MHz processors
    2) 336 MHz processors
    3) 400 MHz processors
    4) Unlisted (manually enter clock values)
    5)
    
    What speed of processors do you have installed? 2
    
    Your selections are apparently for a 336 MHz processor.
    
    Is this correct? (y/n) y
   
    The platform name identifies the entire host machine to the SSP
    software. The platform name occupies a different name space than
    domain names (hostnames of bootable systems).
   
    What is the name of the platform this SSP will service? allxf4
   
    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
    Are you currently configuring the MAIN SSP? (y/n) y
    Main SSP configuration completed.
