SPARC T5-8 Server Service Manual

Verify the System Configuration PROM

1. Ensure that you have completed the following:
   • Applied power to the server.

     See Connect the Power Cords.

   • Started the system.

     See Power On the Server (Oracle ILOM).

2. Verify that the banner display includes an Ethernet address and a host ID value.

   The Ethernet address and host ID values are read from the System Configuration PROM. Their presence in the banner verifies that the service processor and the host can read the System Configuration PROM.

3. Log in to Oracle ILOM.

   See Log In to Oracle ILOM (Service).

4. Start the faultmgmt shell.

   -> start SP/faultmgmt/shell

5. Use the fmadm faulty command to determine if the server is operating normally.

   • If a fault was detected, see Diagnostics Process.

   • If no fault was detected, the System Configuration PROM was installed successfully.

6. For additional verification, run specific commands to display data stored in the System Configuration PROM.

   • Use the Oracle ILOM show command to display the MAC address:

     -> show /HOST macaddress
       /HOST
         Properties:
             macaddress = **:**:**:**:**:**

   • Use Oracle Solaris OS commands to display the hostid and Ethernet address:

     # hostid
     8534299c
     
     # ifconfig -a
     lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232
     index 1
             inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
     igb0: flags=201004843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
             inet 10.6.88.150 netmask fffffe00 broadcast 10.6.89.255
