RSC Issues for Sun Fire 280R, Sun Fire V880, and Sun Fire V480 Servers

This section describes issues that affect RSC running on Sun Fire 280R, Sun Fire V880, and Sun Fire V480 servers.

Removing and Installing the RSC Card

Caution – Caution –

Removing or installing the RSC card while the system has the AC power cord connected could damage your system or your RSC card. Only qualified service personnel should remove or replace the RSC card. Contact your qualified service representative to perform this service operation.

Before you follow the procedures in the Sun Fire 280R Server Service Manual or Sun Fire 880 Server Service Manual to remove or install the RSC card, perform this procedure to ensure that there is no AC power present in the system.

  1. Shut down and halt the system.

  2. With the system at the ok prompt, turn the keyswitch to the Off position.

    Standby power is still present in the system at this point.

  3. Disconnect all AC power cords from their back panel receptacles.

    This ensures that there is no standby power voltage present in the system.

  4. Follow the procedure you require in your service manual.

Additional RSC Alerts

RSC generates the following alerts on a Sun Fire 280R or Sun Fire V880 server when the RSC card begins battery use after a power interruption:

00060012: "RSC operating on battery power."

RSC generates the following alerts when the host system has shut down from RSC. The messages appear in the log history.

00040000: “RSC Request to power off host.”

00040029: “Host system has shut down.”

If you shut down the system using the keyswitch, or by using the OpenBoot PROM poweroff command, the above alert 00040029 is the only alert displayed.

These alerts are not documented in the Sun Remote System Control (RSC) 2.2 User's Guide.

Going from Battery to Standby, the Locator LED Will Turn On in the GUI (BugID 4524272; Sun Fire V480 Servers Only)

When the RSC hardware changes state from battery power to standby power, the Locator LED on the Sun Fire V480 appears illuminated in the GUI only. It does not illuminate on the system.

If this situation happens, use the resetrsc command.
