1.1  
Overview  
The Netra CP3260 blade server (FIGURE 1-1 and FIGURE 1-2) is a high-performance  
®
single-board computer based on one UltraSPARC T2 multicore processor and  
designed for high availability in a switched network computing environment. This  
blade server is compliant with Advanced Telecommunications Computing  
®
®
®
Architecture (AdvancedTCA , ATCA ) specifications (PICMG 3.0 and PICMG 3.1).  
The PICMG (PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group) standards committee  
has developed the new ATCA (or PICMG 3.x) standard to address the issues posed  
by previous standards based on cPCI and cPSB (PICMG 2.x). The PICMG 3.x  
specification brought the following changes to the existing PICMG 2.x family of  
products:  
Larger board space (8U high compared to 6U for cPCI), which allows more  
features and processing power  
On-board power supplies deriving local power from redundant 48V power from  
the midplane (rather than separate power supplies)  
6-HP slot width, allowing greater component height  
Advanced Mezzanine card (AMC) support and options

Elimination of PCI connectivity between the blade servers in the system and  
reallocation of connectivity to serial interconnects, eliminating single points of  
failure  
Mandatory use of Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) management  
interfaces  
Flexible user I/O  
Power and thermal management guidelines enforced by the management  
infrastructure  
Separation of control and data traffic by supporting the Base (PICMG 3.0) and  
Fabric (PICMG 3.1) interfaces  
The ATCA standard consists of the PICMG 3.0, PICMG 3.1, PICMG 3.2, and PICMG  
3.3 specifications. The Netra CP3260 blade server complies with:  
PICMG 3.0, the base specification that defines the mechanical, power distribution,  
system management, data transport, and regulatory guidelines  
PICMG 3.1, which builds upon the PICMG 3.0 base specification and the IEEE  
802.3-2003 standard

Note – When a Netra CP32x0 ARTM is used with the Netra CP3260 blade server,  
shielded cables are required for serial I/O ports. Unshielded cables can be used on  
Ethernet ports to satisfy EMI compliance standards. The shields for all shielded  
cables must be terminated on both ends.  
The customer can order a Netra CP32x0 ARTM, build a custom card, or buy from an  
independent hardware vendor (IHV). A minimal set of I/O must provide a boot  
path for the host blade server and a path for console I/O to deliver commands and  
to read blade server and system status.  
Possible boot and console configurations are described in TABLE 1-2. Sun  
Microsystems supplies the Netra CP3260 blade server and compatible Netra CP32x0  
ARTMs. The other configurations require (IHV) hardware.

The installer must be familiar with commonly accepted procedures for integrating  
electronic systems and with the general practice of Sun systems integration and  
administration. Although parts of these systems are designed for hot-swap  
operation, other components must not be subjected to such stresses. Work with  
power connected to a chassis only when necessary, and follow these installation  
procedures to avoid equipment damage.  
This equipment is sensitive to damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD) from  
clothing and other materials. Use the following antistatic measures during an  
installation:  
If possible, disconnect line power from the equipment chassis when servicing a  
system or installing a hardware upgrade. If the chassis cannot be placed upon a  
grounded antistatic mat, connect a grounding strap between the facility electrical  
input ground (usually connected to the equipment chassis) and facility electrical  
service ground.  
Use an antistatic wrist strap when:  
Removing a blade server from its antistatic bag  
Connecting or disconnecting blade servers or peripherals  
The other end of the strap lead should be connected to one of the following:  
A ground mat  
Grounded chassis metalwork  
A facility electrical service ground  
Keep blade servers in the antistatic bags until they are needed.  
Place circuit blade servers that are out of their antistatic bags on an antistatic mat  
if one is available. The mat must be grounded to a facility electrical service  
ground. Do not place blade servers on top of an antistatic bag unless the outside  
of the bag also has antistatic protective properties.  
Remove a blade server from its antistatic bag only when wearing a properly  
connected ground strap.

Installing the Netra CP3260 Blade Server  
Caution – The Netra CT 900 server fan tray upgrade kit (594-4953) must be  
installed in the chassis before the Netra CP3260 blade server is installed. This fan  
tray upgrade is required to provide adequate cooling and to prevent the system from  
overheating or shutting down due to an over-temperature condition that can occur  
with the older fan trays.  
To verify that the fan tray upgrade is installed on a Netra CT 900 server, log into the  
Shelf Manager and issue the following command for fan trays 1, 2, and 3 (or fan  
trays 0, 1, and 2 for older chassis):  
clia fruinfo fan_tray 1 | grep "Product Part"  
If ProductPart/ModelNumber=371-3033-xx is displayed, an upgraded  
fan tray is installed. If ProductPart/ModelNumberis not 371-3033, an old fan  
tray is installed and the upgrade is required. Refer to the Netra CT 900 Server Upgrade  
Guide (820-3255) for more information.  
To Install the Netra CP3260 blade server, perform the following steps:  
1. If you have installed a Netra CP32x0 ARTM, go to the front of the system and  
locate the card slot where you installed the ARTM at the rear of the system.  
2. Remove the filler panel, if necessary.  
The filler panel is secured to the card cage using two screws, one at the top of the  
filler panel, the other at the bottom. Store the filler panel in a safe place; you  
might need to use it again if you have to remove a card for an extended period of  
time.  
3. Prepare the blade server by opening the injector/ejector latches (FIGURE 2-8).  
4. Carefully align the edges of the blade server with the card guides in the  
appropriate slot (FIGURE 2-7).

Hot-Swapping the Netra CP3260 Blade  
Server  
The Netra CP3260 blade server supports hot-swapping at the blade server level.  
Note – Before hot-swapping the blade server, the system administrator should  
gracefully shutdown the applications and operating system, and deactivate the  
blade server. After the blade server is replaced, the system administrator should  
activate the new blade server.  
The blue Hot-Swap LED, located on the front panel of the Netra CP3260 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 Netra CP3260 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 Netra CP3260 blade server is installed into  
the system. Once the Netra CP3260 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 2-9 shows the hot-swap latch and Hot-Swap LED.

Depending the blade server’s hardware configuration, the Sun Netra CP3260 blade  
server can be used as a diskless client with the Solaris OS installed on a boot server  
(see Section 3.3, “Installing as a Diskless Clients” on page 3-4. The OS can also be  
downloaded to a boot device like the Netra CP32x0 SAS Storage ARTM, Dual HD, or  
an optional Compact Flash.  
3.2  
Configuring Payload OS NIU Driver for  
Multiplexing to Zones 2 and 3  
The MUX configuration by system management software and payload driver  
configuration must be in sync for proper functioning of both 10Gbps Ethernet  
(nxge) interfaces. The payload driver relies on the driver configuration file  
(nxge.conf) to initialize interfaces to either Zone 2 (backplane) or Zone 3 (ARTM).  
The driver uses phy-typeproperty to configure each interface. On the Netra  
CP3260 blade server, the phy-typecan have the following values:  
phy-type=gsd(for interface to operate at 1Gbps with Zone 2 connectivity)  
phy-type=xgsd(for interface to operate at 10Gbps with Zone 2 connectivity)  
phy-type=xgf(for interface to operate at 10Gbps with Zone 3 connectivity)  
For default installations, the nxgedriver is in the /platform/sun4v/kernel/drv  
directory.  
The following examples show how to configure zone/link speed in the nxgedriver  
file for Zone 2 and Zone 3 connectivity when using the Solaris OS.  
CODE EXAMPLE 3-1  
Zone 2 Connectivity (Both nxgePorts)  
name = "SUNW,niusl" parent = "/niu@80" unit-address = "0" phy-type  
= "gsd";  
name = "SUNW,niusl" parent = "/niu@80" unit-address = "1" phy-type  
= "xgsd";  
Note – The phy-type=”gsdsets the interface at 1Gbps and the phy-type=  
”xgsdsets the interface at 10Gbps.  
CODE EXAMPLE 3-2  
Zone 3 Connectivity (Both nxgePorts)  
name = "SUNW,niusl" parent = "/niu@80" unit-address = "0" phy-type  
= "xgf";  
name = "SUNW,niusl" parent = "/niu@80" unit-address = "1" phy-type  
= "xgf";

Installing as a Diskless Clients  
The following procedures describe how to create a boot server for diskless clients  
and how to add new diskless clients to the patched boot server. For additional  
instructions on installing diskless clients, refer to the appropriate Solaris  
Documentation Collection at the Sun Documentation web site at:  
You must have a superuser password on your diskless server to perform the tasks in  
the following sections.  
3.3.1  
Creating a Boot Server for Diskless Clients  
This procedure sets up a boot server by starting the operating environment services  
required for diskless clients. Once you have set up the boot server, see Section 3.3.2,  
“Adding a Diskless Client” on page 3-5 for instructions on adding diskless clients to  
the boot server.  
To create a boot server for diskless clients:  
1. Verify that the IP addresses for all other network interfaces on the boot server  
have corresponding host names in the hosts database.  
2. Log in to the network server as superuser and change to the /usr/sadm/bin  
directory.  
# cd /usr/sadm/bin  
3. Use the smosservicecommand to add boot services to the installation server.  
Note – The \ (backslash) in the following code boxes is a line-continuation character  
indicating that the command is continued on the next line.  
# ./smosservice add -u root -p root_password -- -x mediapath=image_directory \  
-x platform=sparc.sun4v.Solaris_n -x cluster=SUNWCXall -x locale=locale  
Where:  
root_password is the root password for the installation server  
image_directory is the path to the directory where the Solaris install image is stored

4. Change directories to the /usr/sadm/bindirectory.  
# cd /usr/sadm/bin  
5. Set up the diskless clients.  
For each diskless client, type the following command as superuser:  
# ./smdiskless add -- -i ip_address -e ethernet_address -n host_name \  
-x os=sparc.sun4v.Solaris_n -x root=/export/root/host_name \  
-x swap=/export/swap/host_name -x swapsize=swap_size -x tz=time_zone \  
-x locale=locale -x ns=name_service -x nameserver=name_server  
Where:  
ip_address is the client’s IP address  
ethernet_address is the client’s Ethernet address  
host_name is the client’s host name  
n is the Solaris OS version you are using  
swap_size is the size of the swap space that you will be using. The default is 24,  
however your swap space should be the same amount as your memory  
time_zone is the client’s time zone  
locale is the client’s locale  
name_service is the client’s nameservice  
name_server is the nameserver’s hostname  
\ (backslash) is a line-continuation character indicating that the command is  
continued on the next line.  
Refer to the smdiskless(1M) man page for more information and options.  
For example:  
# ./smdiskless add -- -i 129.144.214.99 -e 8:0:20:22:b3:aa -n client_host \  
-x os=sparc.sun4v.Solaris_10 -x root=/export/root/client_host \  
-x swap=/export/swap/client_host -x swapsize=999 -x tz=US/Pacific \  
-x locale=en_US -x ns=NIS -x nameserver=nameserver_host  
Where:  
ip_address = 129.144.214.99  
ethernet_address = 8:0:20:22:b3:aa  
host_name = client_host  
n = 10(for Solaris 10)

time_zone = US/Pacific  
locale = en_US  
name_service = NIS  
name_server = nameserver_host  
\ (backslash) is a line continuation character indicating that the command is  
continued on the next line.  
You must type your superuser password again after typing this command. The  
installation process should take roughly 5 minutes per client and about 15-30  
minutes for the operating environment service to install; however, no progress is  
displayed on screen while the process is running. Do not cancel or kill the process  
until the process has successfully completed.  
You should see messages similar to the following after a few minutes, confirming  
that the command went through successfully the second time:  
Login to client_host as user root was successful.  
Download of com.sun.admin.osservermgr.cli.OsServerMgrCli from client_host was  
successful.  
6. Boot the diskless client.

The NIU (Network Interface Unit) driver configuration file, nxge.conf, might need  
to be modified to employ the proper port configurations. The nxge.conffile is  
located in the /platform/sun4v/kernel/drvdirectory. The following examples  
show the proper entries for each switch configuration. These entries are additional to  
any other configuration parameters set in the nxge.conffile.  
Example 1: If Sun Netra CP3240 10-GbE switches are used in Slot 7 and Slot 8, the  
nxge.conffile should have the following entries:  
name = "SUNW,niusl" parent = "/niu@80" unit-address = "0" phy-type = "xgsd";  
name = "SUNW,niusl" parent = "/niu@80" unit-address = "1" phy-type = "xgsd";  
Example 2: If Sun Netra CP3140 1-GbE switches are used in Slot 7 and Slot 8, the  
nxge.conffile should have the following entries:  
name = "SUNW,niusl" parent = "/niu@80" unit-address = "0" phy-type = "gsd";  
name = "SUNW,niusl" parent = "/niu@80" unit-address = "1" phy-type = "gsd";  
Example 3: If a Sun Netra CP3140 1-GbE switch is used in Slot 7 and a Sun Netra  
CP3240 10-GbE switch in Slot 8, the nxge.conffile should have the following  
entries:  
name = "SUNW,niusl" parent = "/niu@80" unit-address = "0" phy-type = "gsd";  
name = "SUNW,niusl" parent = "/niu@80" unit-address = "1" phy-type = "xgsd";  
Example 4: If a Sun Netra CP3240 10-GbE switch is used in Slot 7 and a Sun Netra  
CP3140 1-GbE switch is used in Slot 8, the nxge.conffile should have the  
following entries:  
name = "SUNW,niusl" parent = "/niu@80" unit-address = "0" phy-type = "xgsd";  
name = "SUNW,niusl" parent = "/niu@80" unit-address = "1" phy-type = "gsd";

4.1  
The Netra CP3260 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 5.2.8, “Intelligent Platform Management Controller”  
on page 5-13—which controls the system management, hot-swap control, and some  
board hardware. The IPMC configuration is controlled by separate firmware.  
The Netra CP3260 blade server boots from the 4-Mbyte system flash PROM device  
that includes the power-on self-test (POST) and OpenBoot™ firmware.  
A systems firmware progress sensor (SFPS) is available on the Sun Netra CP3260  
blade server. The purpose of the sensor is to model the firmware running on the  
payload and provide various states to the external management software (ShMM on  
Netra CT 900 servers). This occurs via a standard IPMI event mechanism.  
The firmware states are Progress, Hang, and Error, with various substates. The  
sensor generates an IPMI event message for each state. You can verify the messages  
by using cliaselcommand on the ShMM, through HPI event and SNMP traps for  
each state of a sensor event.  
For more information, see Section B.4, “SendSensorStateCommand” on  
page B-5.  
For detailed sensor command syntax and options, refer to the Netra CT 900 Software  
Developer’s Guide (819-1178). (Even if you are using a third-party chassis, the SFPS  
commands and options apply, and this document is available online.)

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:  
CPU Basic Test

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  
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 okprompt 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 okprompt.  
When the operating system is halted, the system transitions to run level 0 in an  
orderly way.  
4-4

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
     
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 okPrompt  
There are different ways of reaching the okprompt. The methods are not equally  
desirable. See TABLE 4-1 for details.  
TABLE 4-1  
Ways of Accessing the okPrompt  
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 shutdownor initcommand) as  
described in Solaris system administration documentation.  
Manual system reset  
Setting the OBP auto-bootvariable to falsecauses 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 to access the okprompt. 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 Netra CP3260 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 trueto enable an automatic  
degraded boot. To set the switches, type:  
{0} ok setenv auto-boot? true  
{0} 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 Section 4.3.4, “OpenBoot Configuration Variables” on page 4-12.  
4.3.3  
OpenBoot Commands  
You type the OpenBoot commands at the okprompt. The OpenBoot commands that  
can provide useful diagnostic information include:  
probe-scsi and probe-scsi-all  
probe-ide  
show-devs  
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-scsiand probe-scsi-allCommands  
The probe-scsiand probe-scsi-allcommands diagnose problems with the  
SCSI devices.  
Caution – If you used the haltcommand or the Stop-A key sequence to reach the  
okprompt, issuing the probe-scsior probe-scsi-allcommand can hang the  
system.  
The probe-scsicommand communicates with all SCSI devices connected to  
on-board SCSI controllers. The probe-scsi-allcommand also accesses devices  
connected to any host adapters installed in PCI slots.  
For any SCSI device that is connected and active, the probe-scsiand  
probe-scsi-allcommands display its loop ID, host adapter, logical unit number,  
unique worldwide name (WWN), and a device description that includes type and  
manufacturer.  
The following sample output is from the probe-scsi-allcommand with a Netra  
CP32x0 ARTM connected to the Netra CP3260 blade server.  
CODE EXAMPLE 4-1 probe-scsi-allCommand Output  
{0} ok probe-scsi-all  
This command may hang the system if a Stop-A or halt command

The probe-idecommand 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.

4.4  
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 trueand auto-boot-on-error?is true.  
Nonfatal errors include the following:  
SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) 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 FB-DIMM, the firmware will unconfigure the  
entire logical bank associated with the failed module. Another non-failing  
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:  
Chapter 4 Firmware and Blade Server Management 4-15  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
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  
Once a failed or disabled device is replaced with a new one, the OpenBoot firmware  
automatically modifies the status of the device upon reboot.  
Note – ASR is not enabled until you activate it (see Section 4.5.1.1, “To Enable  
Automatic System Recovery” on page 4-17).

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 OpenBoot.  
4.5.1.1  
To Enable Automatic System Recovery  
1. At the okprompt, type:  
ok setenv auto-boot true  
ok setenv auto-boot-on-error? true  
2. To cause the parameter changes to take effect, type:  
ok reset-all  
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 okprompt, type:  
ok setenv auto-boot-on-error? false  
2. To cause the parameter changes to take effect, type:  
ok reset-all  
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  
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 4-3 lists the network device aliases, the default  
Solaris OS device names, and associated ports for the Netra CP3260 blade server.  
You can use the devaliascommand to display the device aliases.

Retrieving Device Information  
You can use the Solaris platform information and control library (PICL) framework  
for obtaining the state and condition of the Netra CP3260 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 4-4 shows the frutree entries and properties that describe the condition of the  
Netra CP3260 blade server.

4.8  
Multiplexing to Zones 2 and 3  
A multiplexer (MUX) controller and ShMM configuration is available for use on  
Netra CP3260 blade servers to multiplex 10GbE network interface unit (NIU) ports  
to Zone 2 (backplane) and/or to Zone 3 (ARTM).  
MUX control configurations take effect during the blade activation following the  
configuration change  
Both NIU ports are independently configurable  
MUX configuration is persistent across reboots, resets, and hotswaps  
MUX configuration remains persistent for the slot, so that if a blade is replaced  
with another Netra CP3260 blade server, the new blade assumes the previous  
configuration  
Note – The host must be configured to match the MUX configuration.  
For customers using blade servers in a Netra CT 900 chassis, a complete end-to-end  
solution is provided. The MUX feature is implemented through the ShMM firmware  
and IPMI commands on the IPMC. These commands extend MUX configuration  
access to the management software so that during blade server hot-swaps, the MUX  
configuration is persistent across blade server activations and deactivations.  
Customers who use Sun Netra CP3260 blade servers in a third-party chassis, which  
does not have the Netra CT 900 chassis ShMM management software implemented,  
can save MUX configurations in a configuration file or in a persistent storage  
managed by system management software. When the system management software  
detects blade server activation, it sends the command to set MUX to the  
programmed state. Because management software sends the command during every  
blade server activation, the configuration is persistent across blade server  
deactivation and activation.  
Refer to the following documentation:  
Manual (819-1177).  
For IPMI commands, refer to the Netra CT 900 Software Developer’s Guide  
(819-1178).  
For payload configuration, see Section 3.2, “Configuring Payload OS NIU Driver  
for Multiplexing to Zones 2 and 3” on page 3-2.

Be aware of the following possible issues when multiplexing zones:  
MUX and payload driver configuration could go out of sync, requiring a system  
administrator to make sure they are set to the same configuration.  
Midplane FRUID record could be corrupted when updating with the MUX  
configuration.  
Third-party shelf management software might block updates to the midplane  
FRUID.

UltraSPARC T2 Processor and Memory  
The UltraSPARC T2 processor has eight SPARC physical processor cores. Each  
SPARC physical processor core has full hardware support for eight strands, two  
integer execution pipelines, one floating-point execution pipeline, and one memory  
pipeline. The eight SPARC cores are connected through a crossbar to an on-chip  
unified 4-Mbyte, 16 way associative L2 cache.

There are four on-chip memory controllers that interface directly to FB-DIMM  
memory and include eight FB-DIMM slots (one per channel, or two per memory  
controller). In addition, there are an on-chip PCI-Express I/O interface and two  
10-Gb Ethernet ports. The UltraSPARC T2 processor is a highly integrated processor  
that implements the 64-bit SPARC V9 architecture.  
5.1.2  
5.1.3  
I/O  
All I/O is provided via the UltraSPARC T2 PCI-Express interface. A PLX switch  
provides the PCI-E interfaces. Dual Intel NICs (or network adapters) supply the two  
Ethernet interfaces to the front panel and the ARTM for management interfaces.  
Base and Fabric Interfaces  
The Base interface extends from the Intel 82571 NIC connected to the PCI-E switch  
via a x4 connection. The PCI-E switch then connects to the Power PC and to the Base  
interface.  
The Fabric interface uses the processor’s XAUI interface and connects to the  
midplane fabric interface.  
5.1.4  
5.1.5  
Additional I/O  
The additional I/O includes:  
RS-232 Serial Port  
IDE port for Compact Flash card  
Dual USB ports  
A PCI-E-to-PCI bridge provides an on-board local PCI bus to a PCI-to-USB device  
that provides the USB ports. Two USB ports connect to the front panel and one USB

Hardware Modules  
This section provides a brief description of the Netra CP3260 hardware modules.  
5.2.1  
UltraSPARC T2 Processor  
The UltraSPARC T2 multicore processor is the basis of the Netra CP3260 blade  
server. The UltraSPARC T2 processor is based on chip multithreading (CMT)  
technology that is optimized for highly threaded transactional processing. The  
UltraSPARC T2 processor improves throughput while using less power and  
dissipating less heat than conventional processor designs. It is high performance,  
highly integrated processor that implements the 64-bit SPARC V9 architecture. On  
the Netra CP3260 blade server, the UltraSPARC T2 processor operates at 1.2 GHz  
and contains 16 Kbytes of instruction cache per core and 8 Kbytes of data cache per  
core (FIGURE 5-2).  
Depending on the model purchased, the processor has six or eight UltraSPARC  
cores. Each core equates to a 64-bit execution pipeline capable of running eight  
threads. The result is that the 8-core processor handles up to 64 active threads  
concurrently and a 6-core processor handles up to 48 active threads concurrently.

interface is routed to the Zone 2 connector on the midplane (see Section A.4,  
“Connectors and Pinout” on page A-3 for details on board connector pinout  
assignments.  
5.2.2  
Memory Subsystem  
The heart of the Memory subsystem is the FB-DIMM memory. Data from the  
FB-DIMM memory controller is brought out on a high-speed serial bus that connects  
to a single memory DIMM per channel. The FB-DIMM provides an Advanced  
Memory Buffer (AMB) which converts this serial interface into the standard memory  
interface used by DDR2 memory.  
The UltraSPARC T2 provides 4 FB-DIMM memory controllers with each controller  
supporting two memory channels.  
5.2.2.1  
Memory Capacity

Power Control  
The BMR-H8S is able to control (enable/disable) power rails to the payload.  
System Monitor (ADM1026) and Thresholds  
The Analog Devices ADM1026 is used for system monitoring functions. The  
ADM1026 is interfaced with the IPMC, and the IPMC firmware is responsible for  
monitoring these sensors.  
Voltage Monitoring  
The ADM1026 measures most of the blade server voltages. The ADM1026 has one  
temperature sensor embedded in the device itself and supports two remote sensing  
channels that require external diodes for temperature sensing. These two remote  
sensors are used for measuring the CPU thermal diode temperature.  
The ADM1026 measures the voltages listed in TABLE 5-1. The ADM1206 and H8  
firmware monitors these voltages. When the voltages are within regulations, the  
blade server functions with no warnings. When any voltage goes out of regulation  
beyond approximately 7%, a CriticalWarningis generated and presented to  
the shelf manager.

FRUID PROMs  
There are two FRUID PROMs on the Sun Netra CP3260 and both are 64-Kbyte  
SEEPROMs. One contains Sun FRU information and the other contains IPMI FRU  
information. Each device stores static information, such as the part number and  
manufacturing date, and dynamic data that can be updated by the host system, such  
as operational statistics and failure information.  
5.2.9  
I/O Subsystem Resets  
The UltraSPARC T2 provides a PCI Express reset out on the PEX_RESET_L pin. This  
pin connects to the FPGA and in turn, this is used by the FPGA to reset the I/O  
subsystem which includes the PLC PCI Express switch.  
The PCIe switch in turn provides an inband reset (output pin) which, via the FPGA,  
resets the:  
Dual GbE for the Base  
Dual GbE for RTM  
GbE for management ports  
RTM PCIe reset  
Reset to PCI-E-to-PCI bridge  
In addition to the processor resetting the I/O subsystem, each I/O component has  
reset software write-able by the PPC to reset individual components.  
The Ethernet switch is reset-able via software by the PPC. This allows the Ethernet  
path between the PPC and the Base to remain active in the event the processor is  
being reset.

A reset mask register is provided in the FPGA to allow the masking of resets to  
individual I/O components. For example, a PEX_RESET_Lresetfrom the  
UltraSPARC T2 processor resets only those I/O subcomponents not masked by the  
reset mask register.  
5.2.10  
ATCA Power Module (48V to 12V)  
The Netra CP3260 blade server uses the Artesyn ATCA power module solution. The  
Artesyn power module provides an integrated ATCA power solution that meets  
PICMG 3.0 requirements, including dual bus input, DC isolation, hold up, hot-plug,  
and management power (3.3V standby). It provides a 12V intermediate bus as  
backend power. Some of the salient features of the module are:  
210 watts output power.  
Input-to-output isolation.  
12V with current rating of 17.5A.  
3.3V standby at 1.82A. (The IPMC draws power from IPMI Power (3.3V_STBY) so  
it can remain functional even if back-end logic is powered down.)  
Isolated remote ON/OFF.  
Isolated “A” and “B” bus detect signals.  
High efficiency, typically 88 percent.  
Operating input voltage: 39V to 72V.  
2
The I C interface monitors the status of fuse, input voltages, output voltages, and  
temperature and sends an alarm if any of the parameters are outside the  
programmable threshold.  
FRU information.  
5.2.11  
TOD Clock Battery  
The TOD clock battery must be type CR1632, with a minimum of 4ma abnormal  
charging current rating (for example; a Renata CR1632).  
Caution – Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.  
Dispose of batteries properly in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions and  
local regulations.

Solaris OS Graceful Shutdown  
Commands  
Users can change the graceful shutdown time out of Solaris OS with an IPMI  
command executed from ShMM or a user application. Note that this setting is not  
persistent; the Solaris FSM will overwrite it after every Solaris OS boot.  
SUNWctfsm is the Solaris FSM for ATCA graceful shutdown and reboot. For  
installation and requirements, refer the README file included in the release  
package and the Sun Netra CP3260 Blade Server Product Notes (820-0455).  
The commands and parameters are described in the following table.  
TABLE 1  
Solaris OS Graceful Shutdown Parameters in /etc/fsmd.conf  
Parameter  
Description and Parameters  
GS_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT  
Sets the payload graceful shutdown timeout in increments  
of 100 milliseconds. The legal value range is from 0 to  
0xffff (0 second to 6553 seconds).  
The default value is 1200, which is 120 seconds. This 1200  
will overwrite the default value 300 in IPMC.  
Solaris might panic during graceful shutdown if this  
parameter value is too short. Conversely, if this value is  
too long, the shutdown could take too long. See Note that  
follows this table.  
GR_COMPLETION_NOTICE  
GR_TIMER_DISARM  
Determines if Solaris FSM will send a reboot succeed  
notice to IPMC. The legal values are yes and no.  
The default value is no. IPMC might or might not  
support/use it.  
Determines if Solaris FSM will disarm graceful reboot  
timer. The legal values are yes and no.  
The default value is no. Set to yes only if the blade server’s  
firmware has no graceful reboot support.  
Any parameter changes you make will become effective only after you execute the  
Solaris command svcadmrestartfsm.

Note – As of the R3U2 release, Netra CP3260 sysfw 7.2.1 has graceful shutdown  
support.  
Note – To use the graceful shutdown effectively, users must determine a  
component’s shutdown time “cost,” which depends on hardware, software, and  
configuration. For example, the default 120 seconds could be too short for a Sun  
Netra CP3260 blade server with a heavy I/O configuration. Conversely, it could be  
too long for a Sun Netra CP3220 blade server. Ignorance of the shutdown time could  
cause a panic during graceful shutdown.  
For more information, refer to the following documentation:  
Netra CT 900 Server Administration and Reference Manual (819-1177) for ShMM  
commands.  
Netra CT 900 Software Developer’s Guide (819-1178) for IPMI commands.  
Even if you are using a third-party chassis, the commands and options apply, and  
these documents are available online:  
B.4 SendSensorStateCommand  
SendSensorStateis used by the firmware progress sensor or any other sensor  
that intends to send sensor states to the IPM controller (IPMC). The IPMC uses this  
information to put a sensor in the correct state and send the event data to the system  
event log.

Byte  
Data Field  
Byte4  
Sensor type byte  
Indicates event class or type of sensor that generates  
the event message. (Refer to IPMI specification for  
sensor type codes.)  
Byte5  
Sensor # (optional); Write to 0  
Unique number representing the sensor within the  
management controller that generates the event  
message. The BIOS, OBP, ILOM, and OS does not  
have to know and send the sensor number for the  
sensors that are maintained and reported by the  
IPMC.  
Reserved for future use.  
Byte6  
EventDir | EventType  
• 1 bit for EventDir, which indicates the event  
transition direction. A value of 0 means assertion  
event; a value of 1 means deassertion event.  
• 7 bits for EventType, which indicates the type of  
threshold crossing or state transition (trigger) that  
produces the event. Encode using the  
Event/Reading Type code. (Refer to IPMI  
specification for type codes.)  
Byte7  
Byte8  
Byte9  
Byte10  
Byte11  
Sensor offset  
Tells the sensor generic or sensor specific offset as  
defined in the IPMI specification. IPMC uses this data  
to define the state of the sensors. (Refer to the IPMI  
specification.)  
Event Data 1  
Represents the remainder of the event message data  
according to the class of the event type for the sensor  
(threshold, discrete, or OEM). (Refer to the IPMI  
specification.)  
Event Data 2  
Represents the remainder of the event message data  
according to the class of the event type for the sensor  
(threshold, discrete, or OEM). (Refer to the IPMI  
specification.)  
Event Data 3  
Represents the remainder of the event message data  
according to the class of the event type for the sensor  
(threshold, discrete, or OEM). (Refer to the IPMI  
specification.)  
Reserved for future use. (Write zero)
