Installing the Sun Crypto Accelerator 4000 Board |
This chapter describes how to install the Sun Crypto Accelerator 4000 hardware and also how to install and remove the software with automated scripts. This chapter includes the following sections:
Once you have installed the hardware and software of the board, you need to initialize the board with configuration and keystore information. See Initializing the Board With vcaadm for information on how to initialize the board.
Each board is packed in a special antistatic bag to protect it during shipping and storage. To avoid damaging the static-sensitive components on the board, reduce any static electricity on your body before touching the board by using one of the following methods:
Installing the Sun Crypto Accelerator 4000 board involves inserting the board into the system and loading the software tools. The hardware installation instructions include only general steps for installing the board. Refer to the documentation that came with your system for specific installation instructions.

1. As superuser, follow the instructions that came with your system to shut down and power off the computer, disconnect the power cord, and remove the computer cover.
2. Locate an unused PCI slot (preferably a 64-bit, 66 MHz slot).
3. Attach an antistatic wrist strap to your wrist, and attach the other end to a grounded metal surface.
4. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the screw from the PCI slot cover.
Save the screw to hold the bracket in Step 5.
5. Holding the Sun Crypto Accelerator 4000 board by its edges only, take it out of the plastic bag and insert it into the PCI slot.
6. Secure the screw on the rear bracket.
7. Replace the computer cover, reconnect the power cord, and power on the system.
8. Verify that the board is properly installed by entering the show-devs command at the OpenBoot PROM ok prompt:
ok show-devs . /chosen /packages /upa@8,480000/SUNW,ffb@0,0 /pci@8,600000/network@1 /pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@4 /pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@4/fp@0,0 . |
In the preceding example, the /pci@8,600000/network@1 identifies the device path to the Sun Crypto Accelerator 4000 board. There is one such line for each board in the system.
To determine whether the Sun Crypto Accelerator 4000 device properties are listed correctly: From the ok prompt, navigate to the device path and type .properties to display the list of properties.
The Sun Crypto Accelerator 4000 software is included on the Sun Crypto Accelerator 4000 CD. You may need to download patches from the SunSolve web site. Refer to the Sun Crypto Accelerator 4000 Board Version 2.0 Release Notes for the required patches.
There are two methods to install the software, manually or with the install script. This section describes how to install the software with the install script. To install the software manually, refer to Installing the Software Without the install Script.
The Sun Crypto Accelerator 4000 Version 2.0 CD-ROM contains both Versions 1.1 and 2.0 of the software.

1. The Sun Crypto Accelerator 4000 Version 1.x software should not be installed on Solaris 10. If Version 1.x exists on your Solaris 10 system, use the following command to remove all Version 1.x packages:
# pkgrm SUNWkcl2o SUNWvcav SUNWvcar SUNWkcl2a SUNWkcl2u SUNWkcl2r SUNWvcamn SUNWkcl2m SUNWkcl2i SUNWvcaa SUNWvcafw SUNWvcau |
2. Insert the Sun Crypto Accelerator 4000 CD into a CD-ROM drive that is connected to your system.
You see the following files and directories in the /cdrom/cdrom0 directory.
Refer to the Sun Crypto Accelerator 4000 Board Version 1.1 Installation and User's Guide (817-3693-10) for instructions on how to install the Version 1.1 software.
You see the following files and directories in the /cdrom/cdrom0/Sun_Crypto_Acc_4000_2_0 directory.
3. Install the required software by typing:
The install script analyzes the system to determine which required patches need to be installed, installs those patches, installs the main software--for example:
Note - The copyright and license information was omitted from the following example. Refer to Appendix B for copyright and software licenses. |
TABLE 2-3 shows the directories created by the default installation of the Sun Crypto Accelerator 4000 software.
FIGURE 2-1 shows the hierarchy of these directories and files.
Note - Once you install the Sun Crypto Accelerator 4000 hardware and software, you need to initialize the board with configuration and keystore information. See Initializing the Board With vcaadm for information on how to initialize the board. |
There are three methods to remove the software: the remove script on the CD-ROM, the /var/tmp/crypto_acc.remove script on the server, or the pkgrm command. This section describes how to remove the software with the two removal scripts. For instructions on removing the software with the pkgrm command refer to Removing the Software Without the remove Script.
Use the remove script for software removal if you used the install script to install the software. Use the /var/tmp/crypto_acc.remove script if you installed the software manually. See Removing the Software Without the remove Script.

See Directories and Files for a description and hierarchical diagram of the directories and files in the default installation.
Note - Remove the Sun Crypto Accelerator 4000 software manually only if you did not use the install script to install the software. If you installed the software with the install script, to remove the software, see Removing the Sun Crypto Accelerator 4000 Software With the remove Script. |
If you have created keystores (see Managing Keystores With vcaadm), you must delete the keystore information that the Sun Crypto Accelerator 4000 board is configured with before removing the software. The zeroize command removes all key material, but does not delete the keystore files that are stored in the filesystem of the physical host in which the board is installed. See the Performing a Software Zeroize on the Board for details on the zeroize command. To delete the keystore files stored in the system, become superuser and remove the keystore files. If you have not yet created any keystores, you can skip this procedure.
|
As superuser, use the pkgrm command to remove only the software packages you installed.
