CHAPTER  
1
Watchdog Timer  
The system management controller (SMC) on the Netra CP2500 implements a  
watchdog service that captures catastrophic faults in the Solaris OS running on the  
CPU board. The watchdog service reports such faults to the baseboard management  
controller (BMC) by means of either an IPMI message or by a de-assertion of the  
This chapter contains the following sections:  
“Overview” on page 1  
“PICL Plug-In Module” on page 2  
“Watchdog Node Management Code” on page 5  
“OpenBoot PROM Interface” on page 21  
Overview  
The Netra CP2500 SMC provides two watchdog timers: the watchdog level 2 (WD2)  
timer and the watchdog level 1 (WD1) timer. Management applications (for example,  
the Managed Object Hierarchy on the Netra CT 810/410 server or a third-party  
application on a cPSB server) start the timers, and the Solaris OS periodically pats  
the timers before they expire. If the WD2 timer expires, the watchdog function of the  
®
WD2 timer forces the SPARC processor to optionally reset. The maximum range for  
WD2 is 255 seconds.  
The WD1 timer is typically set to a shorter interval than the WD2 timer.  
Management applications can examine the expiration status of the WD1 timer to get  
advance warning if the main timer, WD2, is about to expire. The management  
application has to start WD1 before it can start WD2. If WD1 expires, then WD2  
starts only if enabled. The maximum range for WD1 is 6553.5 seconds.  
The Solaris PICL module provides interfaces to the watchdog timer in SMC.

PICL Plug-In Module  
The watchdog subsystem is managed by a platform information and control library  
(PICL) plug-in module. This PICL plug-in module provides a set of PICL properties  
to the system, which enables a Solaris PICL client to specify the attributes of the  
watchdog system.  
To use the PICL API to set the watchdog properties, your application must follow  
the following sequence:  
Note – The following instructions are not server-specific. Check your server  
documentation for additional software configuration that might be needed with the  
watchdog timer.  
1. If the watchdog timer is running, stop it by disabling the primary HEALTHY#  
signal monitoring for the CPU card on which the watchdog timer is to be  
changed.  
2. In your application, use the PICL API to disarm, set, and arm the active watchdog  
timer.  
Refer to the picld(1M), libpicl(3LIB), and libpicltree(3LIB) man pages for  
a complete description of the PICL architecture and programming interface.  
Develop your application to use the PICL programming interface to do the  
following:  
Disarm the active watchdog timer.  
Change the watchdog timer PICL properties to the required values.  
Re-arm the watchdog timer. The properties of watchdog-controllerand  
watchdog-timerare defined in TABLE 1-1, TABLE 1-2, and TABLE 1-3.  
3. Re-enable the primary HEALTHY# signal monitoring on the CPU card in the  
specified slot.

Default value set at startup time. Indicates timer is disarmed or  
stopped.  
*
WdTimeout  
Varies by system  
and timer level  
Indicates the timer initial countdown value. Should be set prior  
to arming the timer.  
\
WdAction  
none  
Default value. No action is taken.  
alarm  
Sends notifications to system alarm hardware by means of  
HEALTHY#.  
reset  
Performs a soft or hard reset of the system (implementation  
specific).  
reboot  
Reboots the system.  
*
A platform might not support a specified timeout resolution. For example, Netra CT 810/410 systems only take -1, 0, and 100 to 6553500  
msec in increments of 100 msec for level 1; and -1, 0, and 1000 to 255000 in increments of 1000 msec for level 2.  
\ A specific timer node might not support all action types. For example, Netra CT watchdog level 1 timer supports only none, alarm,  
and rebootactions. Watchdog level 2 timer supports only noneand reset.  
To identify current settings of watchdog-controller, issue the command  
prtpicl-v as shown in the sample output below.

OpenBoot PROM Interface  
There is no user interface to the watchdog timer at the OpenBoot PROM level.  
When the Netra CP2500 board is in the host slot of a Netra CT 810 or 410 server, the  
OpenBoot PROM configures the watchdog timer automatically. The watchdog timer  
is armed only when a boot has been started. Once the Solaris OS has booted, the  
watchdog timer configuration is changed, based on the Solaris OS configuration.  
When the Netra CP2500 board is in a satellite, or I/O, slot of a Netra CT 810 or 410  
server, or a third-party cPSB server, the OpenBoot PROM configures the watchdog  
timer automatically, but the timer is not armed when the Solaris OS boots. You can  
configure the Solaris OS to arm the Netra CP2500 watchdog timer in satellite slots.

The Netra CP2500 monitors its CPU diode temperature and issues warnings at both  
the OpenBoot PROM and Solaris OS levels when these environmental readings are  
out of limits. At the Solaris OS level, the application program monitors and issues  
warnings for the board. At the OpenBoot PROM level, the CPU diode temperature is  
monitored.  
Typical Cycle From Power Up to  
Shutdown  
This section describes a typical environmental monitoring cycle from power up to  
shutdown.  
Environmental Monitoring Protection at the  
OpenBoot PROM  
The OpenBoot PROM monitors the CPU diode temperature at the fixed polling rate  
of 10 seconds and displays warning messages on the default output device  
whenever the measured temperature exceeds the preprogrammed warning  
temperature or the critical temperature. These values have defaults set by the SMC  
and can not be changed for the OpenBoot PROM-level monitoring.  
OpenBoot PROM-level protection is enabled and can not be disabled. If the board  
temperature exceeds the shutdown temperature, the SMC will shut down power to  
the Netra CP2500 CPU. The OpenBoot PROM will send a warning or critical  
temperature message to the user that the Netra CP2500 is overheating.  
Environmental Monitoring Protection at the  
Operating System Level  
Monitoring changes in the sensor temperatures can be a useful tool for determining  
problems with the room where the system is installed, functional problems with the  
system, or problems on the board. Establishing baseline temperatures early in  
deployment and operation could be used to trigger alarms if the temperatures from  
the sensors increase or decrease dramatically. If all the sensors go to room ambient,  
power has probably been lost to the host system. If one or more sensors rise in  
temperature substantially, there might be a system fan malfunction, the system  
cooling might have been compromised, or room air conditioning might have failed.

Protection at the operating system level takes place when the PICL environmental  
monitoring program (envmond) is running. The environmental monitoring program  
is part of a UNIX daemon that runs automatically when the Solaris OS boots up.  
In a typical environmental monitoring application program, the software reads the  
CPU, inlet, and exhaust temperature sensors once every polling cycle. The program  
then compares the measured CPU diode temperature with the warning temperature  
and displays a warning message on the default output device whenever the warning  
temperature is exceeded.  
The program can also issue a shutdown message on the default output device  
whenever the measured CPU diode temperature exceeds the shutdown temperature.  
In addition, the envmondapplication program can be programmed to sync and shut  
down the Solaris OS when conditions warrant.  
Refer to “Sample Application Program” on page 37 for an example of how a simple  
envmondprogram can be implemented.  
The power module is controlled by the SMC subsystem, except for automatic  
controls such as overcurrent shutdown or voltage regulation. The functions  
controlled are core voltage output level, and power sequencing and monitoring.  
Post Shutdown Recovery  
The on-board voltage controller is a hardware function that is not controlled by  
either firmware or software. At the OpenBoot PROM level, if the board temperature  
exceeds the shutdown temperature, the SMC will shut down power to the Netra  
CP2500 CPU.  
There is no mechanism for the Solaris OS to either recover or restore power to the  
Netra CP2500 when an unusual condition occurs, for example, if the CPU diode  
temperature exceeds its maximum recommended level. In either case, the end user  
must intervene and manually recover the Netra CP2500 as well as the system  
through hardware control. Once a shutdown has occurred, you can recover the  
board using a cold-reset IPMI command to SMC or by extracting and reinserting the  
board.

Switching Power On and Off  
The on-board voltage controller allows power to the CPU of the Netra CP2500 only  
when the following conditions are met:  
The VDD core-1.1-volt supply voltage is greater than 1.0 volts (within 10% of  
nominal).  
The 12-volt supply voltage is greater than 10.8 volts (within 10% of nominal).  
The 5-volt supply voltage is greater than 4.5 volts (within 10% of nominal)  
The 3.3-volt supply voltage is greater than 3.0 volts (within 10% of nominal).  
The controller requires these conditions to be true for at least 100 milliseconds to  
help ensure the supply voltages are stable. If any of these conditions become untrue,  
the voltage monitoring circuit shuts down the CPU power of the board.  
Inlet, Exhaust, and CPU Temperature Monitoring  
The CPU diode sensor reading may vary from slot to slot and from board to board in  
a system, and is dependent primarily on system cooling. As an example, a system  
might have sensor readings for the CPU diode from 35˚C to 49˚C with an ambient  
inlet of 21˚C across many boards, with a variety of configurations and positions  
within a chassis. Care must be taken when setting the alarm and shutdown  
temperatures based on the CPU diode sensor value. This sensor typically is linear  
across the operating range of the board.  
The exhaust sensor measures the local air temperature at the trailing edge of the  
board for systems with bottom to top airflow. This value depends on the character  
and volume of the airflow across the board. Typical values in a chassis may range  
from a delta over inlet ambient of 0˚C to 12˚C, depending on the power dissipation  
of the board configuration and the position in the chassis. The exhaust sensor is  
nonlinear with respect to ambient inlet temperature.  
The inlet sensor measures the local air temperature at the leading edge of the board  
on the solder side under the solder-side cover. This value typically can range from a  
reading of 0˚C to 13˚C above inlet system ambient in a chassis. Care must be taken to  
understand the application and installation of the board to use this temperature  
sensor.  
A sudden drop of all temperature sensors close to or near room ambient temperature  
can mean loss of power to one or more Netra CP2500s.  
A gradual increase in the delta temperature from inlet to outlet can be due to dust  
clogging system filters. This feature can be used to set service levels for filter  
cleaning or changing.

The CPU diode temperature can be used to prevent damage to the board by shutting  
the board down if this sensor exceeds predetermined limits.  
Adjusting the Environmental  
Monitoring Warning, Critical, and  
Shutdown Parameter Settings on the  
Board  
The Netra CP2500 uses the environmental monitoring detection system to monitor  
the temperature of the board. The environmental monitoring system will display  
messages if the board temperature exceeds the warning and critical settings. Because  
the on-board sensors may report different temperature readings for different system  
configurations and airflows, you might want to adjust the warning, critical, and  
shutdown temperature parameter settings.  
The Netra CP2500 determines the board temperature by retrieving temperature data  
from sensors located on the board. A board sensor reads the temperature of the  
immediate area around the sensor. Although the software might appear to report the  
temperature of the area near the sensor. For example, the CPU diode sensor reads  
the temperature at the location of the sensor and not on the actual CPU heat sink.  
The board’s OpenBoot PROM collects the temperature readings from each board  
sensor at regular intervals. You can display these temperature readings using the  
show-sensorsOpenBoot PROM command. See “Using the show-sensors  
Command at the OpenBoot PROM” on page 34.  
The temperature read by the CPU sensor will trigger OpenBoot PROM warning and  
critical messages. When the CPU sensor reads a temperature greater than the  
warning parameter setting, the OpenBoot PROM will display a warning message.  
When the sensor reads a temperature greater than the shutdown setting, the SMC  
will shut down the board.  
Many factors affect the temperature readings of the sensors, including the airflow  
through the system, the ambient temperature of the room, and the system  
configuration. These factors might contribute to the sensors reporting different  
temperature readings than expected.  
The Netra CP2500 board CPU sensor default temperature threshold values are 110˚C  
for the high warning temperature, 118˚C for the high shutdown temperature, and  
123˚C for the high power-off temperature.

Note – If you have developed an application that uses the environmental  
monitoring software to monitor the temperature sensors, you may want to adjust  
your application’s settings accordingly.  
OpenBoot PROM Environmental  
Monitoring  
This section describes the OpenBoot PROM environmental monitoring of the CPU.  
Warning Temperature Response at OpenBoot PROM  
When the CPU diode temperature reaches warning temperature, a similar message  
is displayed at the okprompt at a regular interval:  
Temperature sensor #2 has threshold event of  
<<< WARNING!!! Upper Non-critical - going high >>>  
The current threshold setting is : 110  
The current temperature is : 111  
Critical Temperature Response at OpenBoot PROM  
When the CPU diode temperature reaches critical temperature, a similar message is  
displayed at the okprompt at a regular interval:  
Temperature sensor #2 has threshold event of  
<<< ALERT!!! Upper Critical - going high >>>  
The current threshold setting is : 118  
The current temperature is : 119

Environmental Monitoring Application  
Programming  
The following sections describe how to use the environmental monitoring functions  
in an application program.  
For the environmental monitoring application program (envmond) to monitor the  
hardware environment, the following conditions must be met:  
The system controller device driver must be installed.  
The environmental monitoring application program (envmond) must be installed  
and running.  
34  
Netra CP2500 Board Programming Guide • March 2007  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
           
The environmental monitoring parameter values in the application program apply  
when the system is running at the Solaris level and do not necessarily have to be the  
same as the default settings programmed by the SMC and used by the OpenBoot  
PROM. The OpenBoot PROM environmental monitoring only applies when the  
system is running at the OpenBoot PROM level.  
Reading Temperature Sensor States Using the  
PICL API  
Temperature sensor states may be read using the libpiclAPI. The following  
properties are supported in a PICL temperature sensor class node:  
TABLE 2-4  
PICL Temperature Sensor Class Node Properties

HighWarningThreshold  
HighShutdownThreshold  
HighPowerOffThreshold  
Low threshold for warning  
Low threshold for shutdown  
Low threshold for power off  
High threshold for warning  
High threshold for shutdown  
High threshold for power off  
The PICL plug-in receives these sensor events and updates the State property based  
on the information extracted from the IPMI message. It then posts a PICL event.  
Threshold levels of the PICL node class temperature sensor are:  
Warning  
Shutdown  
Power Off  
To obtain a reading of temperature sensor states, use the prtpicl -vcommand:  
# prtpicl -c temperature-sensor -v  
Sample PICL output of temperature sensors on a Netra CT system is as follows.  
# prtpicl -c temperature-sensor -v

Using a Configuration File for Sensor Information  
On the Netra CP2500, you can enable or disable sensors, and configure sensor  
threshold actions, such as shutdown and reboot, by editing the  
/etc/picl/config/envmond.conffile.  
Sample entries in the envmond.conffile are:  
#entry format: name=value option  
envmon-enable = true /* Globally enables/disables PICL-based  
environmental monitoring */  
sensor=CP2500-CPU-sensorthreshold_shutdown_cmd=“usr/sbin/shutdown-i5-y-g15&”  
/* presence of this line shows that the corresponding sensor is enabled */  
Solaris Driver Interface  
The PICL envmondplug-in opens a SMC driver stream and requests sensor events.  
The SMC monitors the sensors and generates an event when it detects a change at a  
particular sensor which meets one of the specified thresholds and generates an event  
to local Solaris software. This event is captured by the SMC driver (as an IPMI  
message) and is sent on an open STREAM that has requested sensor events. The  
sensor events are received by the PICL plug-in. The PICL plug-in updates the State  
property based on the information it extracts from the IPMI message and posts a  
PICL event.

User Flash  
This chapter describes the user flash driver for the onboard flash PROM and how to  
use it. The Netra CP2500 is equipped with user flash memory. This chapter includes  
the following sections:  
“User Flash Usage and Implementation” on page 43  
“User Flash Driver” on page 44  
“Application Programming Interface” on page 45  
“Example Programs” on page 47  
User Flash Usage and Implementation  
You can use the flash memory for various purposes, such as storage for RTOS, user  
data storage, and OpenBoot PROM information. The Netra CP2500 has a 16Mbyte  
flash that is logically divided into two parts: 2Mbytes for the system/boot flash and  
14Mbytes for the user flash.  
The main OpenBoot PROM image and a backup copy of the image are stored in the  
system flash. If the OpenBoot PROM is corrupted, you can boot the OpenBoot  
PROM from the backup copy to get a good OpenBoot PROM image back into the  
system flash. On a Netra CP2500, the SW3301 dip switch on the board itself can be  
changed to allow you to boot from the backup copy. Refer to the Netra CP2500  
Installation and Technical Reference Manual for information on this dip switch.

User Flash Driver  
The uflash is the device driver for the flash PROM device on the Netra CP2500.  
Access to the driver is carried out through open, read, write, pread, pwriteand  
ioctlsystem interfaces.  
On the Netra CP2500, one device is supported. There is one logical device file for the  
physical device that can be accessed from applications. Users can use this device for  
storing applications and data.  
An instance of the driver is loaded for the device. The driver blocks any reads to the  
device while a write is in progress. Multiple, concurrent reads can go through to the  
same device at the same time. Writes to a device occur one at a time. All read and  
write operations are supported at this time.  
The device also supports erase and lock features. Applications can use them through  
the IOCTL interface. The device is divided into logical blocks. Applications that  
issue these operations also supply a block number or a range of blocks that are a  
target of these operations. Locks are preserved across reboots. Locking a block  
prevents an erase or write operation on that block.  
OpenBoot PROM Device Tree and Properties  
This section provides information on the user flash OpenBoot PROM device node  
and its properties.  
The user flash OpenBoot PROM device node is

Sample User Flash Application Program  
You can use the following program to test the user flash device and driver. This  
program also demonstrates how this device can be used.

*/  
This application program demonstrates the user program  
interface to the User Flash PROM driver.  
One can read or write a number of bytes up to the size of  
the user PROM by means of pread() and pwrite() calls.  
All other functions of the PROM can be accessed by  
means of ioctl() calls such as:  
-) identify the chip,  
-) query block,  
-) lock block/unlock block,  
-) erase block  
Please note that not all of the above ioctl calls are  
available for all flash PROMs. It is the user’s  
responsibility to find out the features of a given PROM.  
The type, block size, and number of blocks of the PROM  
are returned by "identify" ioctl().  
The pwrite() erases the block[s] and then does the  
writing.  
Use the following line to compile your custom application  
programs:
