2.Planning and Preparation

2.1.Before You Start:

  • Read this entire document very carefully so you understand the environment in which the T5140/T5240 is powered on, installed, and configured
  • The T5140/T5240 does not come with a video card, which presents special circumstances for adapting a Windows Laptop or PC to provide terminal services for the initial setup, and subsequent remote access
  • Make sure that the correct serial cable or adapter is available, and that the PC “Hyper Terminal” is correctly setup as per section Powering On the System for the First Time
  • It is highly advisable to immediately set up the SC Network Management Port so that the T5140/T5240 may be built from anywhere on the network. Using another Sun server for remote access and terminal operations is highly recommended, as it provides the most user friendly terminal environment.
  • Mirror the boot drive using the procedure “How to mirror your boot disks on the Sun T5140/T5240” The T5140/T5240 uses a hardware RAID Controller and contains four to eight disk drives. When you mirror, everything on the disks is erased, so we mirror first then install Solaris
  • Install Solaris 10 (10/08 or higher). Note that the exact installation syntax can be slightly different depending upon the type of terminal session you are using. For example in a Sun terminal environment you frequently use the F2 (Function 2) key to accept changes on the Solaris install. If you use a PC with xterm window (cmd), then you press ESC first then ‘2’ or ‘4’ to accept most changes, navigate the menu by using either the Tab or arrow keys.
  • Install SUN Recommended and required patches for the T5140/T5240
  • This document will not account for unsupported IMPAX versions that have not been validated for Solaris 10. If such a situation is encountered please refer to the T2000 installation manual for precise details on how to do so.

4.Powering On the System for the First Time

4.1.Important Notes About AC Power Cables

Caution – Never attach the AC powers cable to the T5140/T5240 until you have first connected the terminal server and network management connections as described in the subsequent sections.

Powering on the system for the first time requires special preparation and procedures. For example, if you have not prepared a display before connecting the AC power cables, system messages may be lost.

Caution - The server goes into standby mode and the system controller initializes as soon as the AC power cables are connected to the power source.
The serial terminal or a terminal emulator MUST be connected before you connect the power cables, or you will not see the system messages. The server goes into standby mode and the ILOM system controller initializes as soon as the AC power cables are connected to the power source.
Note - If you are not logged in, ILOM times out after 60 seconds and reverts to the system console. For more information, refer to the Sun™ Integrated Lights Out
Manager 2.0 User’s Guide

ILOM System Console

When you power on the system, the boot process begins under the control of the

Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) system console. The system console displaysstatus and error messages generated by firmware-based tests during system startup.
Hyper Terminal Settings and Serial Cable for ManagementPort

The system controller runs on the 3.3v standby voltage. As soon as AC power is connected to the system, the system controller powers on, runs diagnostics, and initializes the ILOM-CMT firmware. Note that the computer is NOT fully powered at this time. You initiate full power via command line later in this document.

If you have not already done so, connect a terminal or a terminal emulator (PC or workstation) to the SC serial management port.

Note that the T5140/T5240 is supposed to be shipped with a serial cable adapter. If it is not present see Section 15 (Appendix C) for cable connections.:- SUNT5140/T5240 DB9 toRJ45serial cable pinouts

A PC with Windows XP Professional SP2 was used during the creation of this document. To access the Windows Hyper Terminal:

Start > Programs > Accessories > Communications > HyperTerminal

From the File menu, select New Connection, and assign it a name and COM device

Configure the terminal or terminal emulator with these port settings:

  • 9600 baud
  • 11 bits
  • No parity
  • One (1) stop bit
  • No handshaking

CAUTION - At this point the full power must not be applied. The T5140/T5240 has a small fan that is running as a result of having connected the AC Power cord.

5.Connect the SC SerialManagementPort

Use this port for server management. This port is needed to set up the SC network management port, as detailed in Enabling the System Controller Network Management Port

The SC serial management port is marked SER MGT. It is the leftmost RJ-45 port on the rear of the chassis.

ServiceProcessorSerialManagementPort – Rear Panel

Note – Use the service processor serial management port only for servermanagement. It is the default connection between the service processor and aterminal or a computer.

  1. Connect a Category 5 cable from the SC serial management port to the terminal device (i.e. your laptop or PC).
  2. The terminal emulator should already be running and configured per the instructions in the previous section
  3. On the T5140/T5240, connect the AC power cables to Power Supply 0 and Power Supply 1, and watch the terminal for system messages.

6.CLIs, User Accounts, and Passwords for Connecting to the ILOM Service Processor

When connecting to the ILOM service processor for the first time using the serial or

network management ports, the default CLI is ILOM, the default user account isroot, and the default password is changeme. Examples in this document use thedefault ILOM CLI.

ILOM also provides an Advanced Lights Out Management (ALOM) compatabilityCLI that uses commands that resemble the ALOM CMT CLI commands. To accessthe ALOM compatability CLI, you must first create an admin account with the roleof administrator. Once you create the admin account, assign the ALOMcompatability CLI as the default CLI (role=administrator, cli=alom).

For moreinformation on using the ALOM compatability CLI, refer to the Integrated Lights OutManagement 2.0 (ILOM 2.0) Supplement for Sun SPARC EnterpriseT5140 and T5240Servers.

7.Login to the System Controller Using the SerialManagementPort

After the service processor boots, access the ILOM CLI to configure and manage the

system.

The ILOM CLI prompt (->) is displayed at the first time the serviceprocessor is booted. The default configuration provides an ILOM CLI root useraccount. The default root password is changeme. Change the password using theservice processor ILOM CLI password command.

  • If this is the first time the system has been powered on, use the password command to set the root password.
