Firmware and Blade Server Management
|
This chapter contains the following sections:
4.1 System Firmware
The Sun Netra CP3060 blade server contains a modular firmware architecture that gives you latitude in controlling boot initialization. You can customize the initialization, test the firmware, and even enable the installation of a custom operating system.
This platform also employs the Intelligent Platform Management controller (IPMC)--described in Section 5.1.6, Intelligent Platform Management Controller--which controls the system management, hot-swap control, and some blade server hardware. The IPMC configuration is controlled by separate firmware.
The Sun Netra CP3060 blade server boots from the 4-Mbyte system flash PROM device that includes the power-on self-test (POST) and OpenBoot
firmware.
4.2 Power-On Self-Test Diagnostics
Power-on self-test (POST) is a firmware program that helps determine whether a portion of the system has failed. POST verifies the core functionality of the system, including the CPU modules, motherboard, memory, and some on-board I/O devices. The software then generates messages that can be useful in determining the nature of a hardware failure. POST can run even if the system is unable to boot.
If POST detects a faulty component, it is disabled automatically, preventing faulty hardware from potentially harming any software. If the system is capable of running without the disabled component, the system boots when POST is complete. For example, if one of the processor cores is deemed faulty by POST, the core is disabled, and the system boots and runs using the remaining cores.
POST diagnostic and error message reports are displayed on a console.
4.2.1 POST Test Coverage
The POST diagnostics include the following tests:
-
UltraSPARC T1 Processor Tests:
MMU (Memory Management Unit), all cores
DMMU TLBs: tags, data RAM tests
IMMU TLBs: tags, data RAM tests
Caches, all cores
L2 Cache
L1 Icache
L1 Dcache
FPU (Floating Point Unit
Functional
Register
Interrupts
- Memory Tests (up to 2-Gbyte/DIMM):
SDRAM data line testSDRAM address line testSDARM cell integrity TestMOVing inversions memory test
- POST Image Tests
POST PROM checksum testPOST memory checksum test
- ECC Error Test
- XBUS SRAM Test
- JBus-to-PCIE Bridge Tests:
Internal registers test JBus interrupts
JBus interrupts
PCI-E MSI Interrupts test
PLX Interconnect test
PCI DMA tests
JBus-to-PCI-E loop-back test
- PCIE Tests:
Verify PCI-E Bus configuration
Verify VID/DIC registers for all onboard PCI device
Verify link status of all onboard PCI-E channel
|
4.2.2 POST Diagnostic and Error Message Format
POST diagnostic and error messages are displayed on a console. The format of the these messages is the following:
Core-ID:Strand-ID ERROR: TEST = test-name
Core-ID:Strand-ID H/W under test = description
Core-ID:Strand-ID Repair Instruction
Core-ID:Strand-ID MSG = error-message-body
Core-ID:Strand-ID END_ERROR
|
The following is an example of a POST error message
TABLE 4-1
3:2>ERROR: TEST = L2-Cache Functional
3:2>H/W under test = Core l2 Cache
3:2>Repair Instructions: Replace items in order listed by ’H/W under test’ above.
3:2>MSG = No way found to match tag address 00000000.00600000, state 3
3:2>END_ERROR
|
4.3 OpenBoot Firmware
The Solaris OS installed operates at different run levels. For a full description of run levels, refer to the Solaris system administration documentation.
Most of the time, the OS operates at run level 2 or run level 3, which are multiuser states with access to full system and network resources. Occasionally, you might operate the system at run level 1, which is a single-user administrative state. However, the lowest operational state is run level 0.
When the OS is at run level 0, the ok prompt appears. This prompt indicates that the OpenBoot
firmware is in control of the system.
There are a number of scenarios under which OpenBoot firmware control can occur.
By default, before the operating system is installed the system comes up under OpenBoot firmware control.
- When the auto-boot? OpenBoot configuration variable is set to false, the system boots to the ok prompt.
- When the operating system is halted, the system transitions to run level 0 in an orderly way.
- When the operating system crashes, the system reverts to OpenBoot firmware control.
- During the boot process, when there is a serious hardware problem that prevents the operating system from running, the system reverts to OpenBoot firmware control.
- When a serious hardware problem develops while the system is running, the operating system transitions smoothly to run level 0.
- When the OS is deliberately placed under the OpenBoot firmware control in order to execute firmware-based commands.
4.3.1 Getting to the ok Prompt
There are different ways of reaching the ok prompt. The methods are not equally desirable. See TABLE 4-2 for details.
TABLE 4-2 Ways of Accessing the ok Prompt
Access Method
|
What to Do
|
Graceful shutdown of the Solaris OS
|
From a shell or command tool window, issue an appropriate command (for example, the shutdown or init command) as described in Solaris system administration documentation.
|
Manual system reset
|
Setting the OBP auto-boot variable to false causes the system to stop at the ok? prompt the next time the blade server is reset.
|
|
Caution - Obtaining the okprompt suspends all application and operating system software. After you issue firmware commands and run firmware-based tests from the okprompt, the system might not be able to resume where it left off.
|
If possible, back up system data before starting accessing the ok prompt. Also exit or stop all applications, and warn users of the impending loss of service. For information about the appropriate backup and shutdown procedures, see Solaris system administration documentation.
4.3.2 Auto-Boot Options
The system firmware stores a configuration variable called auto-boot?, which controls whether the firmware will automatically boot the operating system after each reset. The default setting for Sun platforms is true.
Normally, if a system fails power-on diagnostics, auto-boot? is ignored and the system does not boot unless an operator boots the system manually. An automatic boot is generally not acceptable for booting a system in a degraded state. Therefore, the Sun Netra CP3060 server OpenBoot firmware provides a second setting, auto-boot-on-error?. This setting controls whether the system will attempt a degraded boot when a subsystem failure is detected. Both the auto-boot? and auto-boot-on-error? switches must be set to true to enable an automatic degraded boot. To set the switches, type:
ok setenv auto-boot? true
ok setenv auto-boot-on-error? true
|
Note - The default setting for auto-boot-on-error? is false. The system will not attempt a degraded boot unless you change this setting to true. In addition, the system will not attempt a degraded boot in response to any fatal nonrecoverable error, even if degraded booting is enabled. For examples of fatal nonrecoverable errors, see OpenBoot Configuration Variables.
|
4.3.3 OpenBoot Commands
You type the OpenBoot commands at the ok prompt. Two of the OpenBoot commands that can provide useful diagnostic information include:
For a complete list of OpenBoot commands and more information about the OpenBoot firmware, refer to the OpenBoot 4.x Command Reference Manual. An online version of the manual is included with the OpenBoot Collection AnswerBook that ships with Solaris software.
4.3.3.1 probe-ide Command
The probe-ide command communicates with all Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) devices connected to the IDE bus. This is the internal system bus for media devices such as the DVD drive.
|
Caution - If you used the haltcommand or the Stop-A key sequence to reach the okprompt, issuing the probe-idecommand can hang the system.

4.3.3.3 Checking Network Using watch-net and watch-net-all Commands
The watch-net diagnostics test monitors Ethernet packets on the primary network interface. The watch-net-all diagnostics test monitors Ethernet packets on the primary network interface and on any additional network interfaces connected to the system blade server. Good packets received by the system are indicated by a period (.). Errors such as the framing error and the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error are indicated with an X and an associated error description.
To start the watch-net diagnostic test, type the watch-net command at the ok prompt.
{0} ok watch-net
Internal loopback test -- succeeded.
Link is -- up
Looking for Ethernet Packets.
‘.’ is a Good Packet. ‘X’ is a Bad Packet.
Type any key to stop.................................
|
To start the watch-net-all diagnostic test, type watch-net-all at the ok prompt.
{0} ok watch-net-all
/pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/network@c,1
Internal loopback test -- succeeded.
Link is -- up
Looking for Ethernet Packets.
‘.’ is a Good Packet. ‘X’ is a Bad Packet.
Type any key to stop.

4.3.4 OpenBoot Configuration Variables
The OpenBoot configuration variables are stored in the OBP flash PROM and determine how and when OpenBoot tests are performed. This section explains how to access and modify OpenBoot configuration variables. For a list of important OpenBoot configuration variables, see TABLE 4-3.
Changes to OpenBoot configuration variables take effect at the next reboot.

|
- To set OpenBoot configuration variables that accept multiple keywords, separate keywords with a space.
4.4 Error Handling Summary
Error handling during the power-on sequence falls into one of the following three cases:
- If no errors are detected by POST or OpenBoot firmware, the system attempts to boot if auto-boot? is true.
- If only nonfatal errors are detected by POST or OpenBoot firmware, the system attempts to boot if auto-boot? is true and auto-boot-on-error? is true. Nonfatal errors include the following:
- SATA subsystem failure. In this case, a working alternate path to the boot disk is required.
- Ethernet interface failure.
- Serial interface failure.
- Memory failure. Given a failed DIMM, the firmware will unconfigure the entire logical bank associated with the failed module. Another nonfailing logical bank must be present in the system for the system to attempt a degraded boot.
Note - If POST or OpenBoot firmware detects a nonfatal error associated with the normal boot device, the OpenBoot firmware automatically unconfigures the failed device and tries the next-in-line boot device, as specified by the boot-device configuration variable.
|
- If a fatal error is detected by POST or OpenBoot firmware, the system does not boot regardless of the settings of auto-boot? or auto-boot-on-error?. Fatal nonrecoverable errors include the following:
- Any CPU failed
- All logical memory banks failed
- Flash RAM cyclical redundancy check (CRC) failure
- Critical field-replaceable unit (FRU) PROM configuration data failure
- Critical application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) failure
4.5 Automatic System Recovery
Automatic system recovery (ASR) consists of self-test features and an autoconfiguration capability to detect failed hardware components and unconfigure them. By enabling ASR, the server is able to resume operating after certain nonfatal hardware faults or failures have occurred.
If a component is monitored by ASR and the server is capable of operating without it, the server automatically reboots if that component develops a fault or fails. This capability prevents a faulty hardware component from stopping operation of the entire system or causing the system to fail repeatedly.
If a fault is detected during the power-on sequence, the faulty component is disabled. If the system remains capable of functioning, the boot sequence continues.
To support this degraded boot capability, the OpenBoot firmware uses the 1275 client interface (by means of the device tree) to mark a device as either failed or disabled, creating an appropriate status property in the device tree node. The Solaris OS does not activate a driver for any subsystem marked in this way.
As long as a failed component is electrically dormant (not causing random bus errors or signal noise, for example), the system reboots automatically and resumes operation while a service call is made.
Once a failed or disabled device is replaced with a new one, the OpenBoot firmware automatically modifies the status of the device upon reboot.
4.5.1 Enabling and Disabling Automatic System Recovery
The automatic system recovery (ASR) feature is not activated until you enable it. Enabling ASR requires changing configuration variables in ALOM as well as OpenBoot.
4.5.1.1 To Enable Automatic System Recovery
1. At the ok prompt, type:
ok setenv auto-boot true
ok setenv auto-boot-on-error? true
|
2. To cause the parameter changes to take effect, type:
The system permanently stores the parameter changes and boots automatically when the OpenBoot configuration variable auto-boot? is set to true (its default value).
Note - To store parameter changes, you can also power cycle the system using the front panel Power button.
|
4.5.1.2 To Disable Automatic System Recovery
1. At the ok prompt, type:
ok setenv auto-boot-on-error? false
|
2. To cause the parameter changes to take effect, type:
The system permanently stores the parameter change.
Note - To store parameter changes, you can also power cycle the system using the front panel Power button.
|
After you disable the automatic system recovery (ASR) feature, it is not activated again until you re-enable it.
4.6 Hot-Swap Information
The Sun Netra CP3060 blade server supports hot-swapping and includes a blue Hot-Swap LED.
4.6.1 Hot-Swapping the Sun Netra CP3060 Blade Server
If the Solaris OS is running on a Sun Netra CP3060 blade server and you open the blade server’s latches, you see a message that the operating system will shut down in one minute. When the blue LED on the blade server lights steadily, you can safely remove the blade server.
4.6.1.1 Hot-Swap LED
The blue Hot-Swap LED, located on the front panel of the Sun Netra CP3060 blade server (FIGURE 1-1), blinks when a hot-swap is initiated, and lights steadily when the blade server is ready to be removed from the system.
Unlatching the bottom latch on the Sun Netra CP3060 blade server initiates the hot-swap sequence. The LED lights steadily when the blade server can be safely removed from the system. The reverse is true when a Sun Netra CP3060 blade server is installed into the system. Once the Sun Netra CP3060 blade server is installed into the system and the bottom latch is latched, the blue Hot-Swap LED blinks until the blade server is ready and then turns off. The green LED lights steadily when the blade server is ready.
FIGURE 4-1 shows the hot-swap latch and Hot-Swap LED.
FIGURE 4-1 Hot-Swap Latch and Hot-Swap LED
4.7 Network Device Aliases
A device alias is a shorthand representation of a device path. The Solaris OS provides some predefined device aliases for the network devices so that you do not need to type the full device path name. TABLE 4-8 lists the network device aliases, the default Solaris OS device names, and associated ports for the Sun Netra CP3060 blade server. The devalias command can be used to display the device aliases.

4.8 Retrieving Device Information
You use the Solaris platform information and control library (PICL) framework for obtaining the state and condition of the Sun Netra CP3060 blade server.
The PICL framework provides information about the system configuration that it maintains in the PICL tree. Within this PICL tree is a subtree named frutree, which represents the hierarchy of system field-replaceable units (FRUs) with respect to a root node in the tree called chassis. The frutree represents physical resources of the system. The PICL tree is updated whenever a change occurs in a device’s status.
TABLE 4-9 shows the frutree entries and properties that describe the condition of the Sun Netra CP3060 blade server.
