Chapter 1 Notes after the Installation

This chapter describes the post-installation notes.

1.1 PRIMEPOWER - Specific Notes

1.1.1 Modifications of Solaris OS (Patches, PTF, Program Local

Fix)

Only the modifications (patches, PTF, Program Local Fix, etc.) for PRIMEPOWER provided by FUJITSU

LIMITED can be applied to existing PRIMEPOWER systems running Solaris OS software.

Do not use patches provided by Sun Microsystems, Inc. on the World Wide Web or those provided by other

vendors. Also be careful that you do not apply modifications (patches, PTF, Program Local Fix, etc.)

intended for other systems (GP7000D, etc.) provided by FUJITSU LIMITED.

For information on Solaris OS modifications, contact a FUJITSU systems engineer.

1.1.2 Changing the date and time

PRIMEPOWER 1/200/250/400/450/600/650/850

Use the date command in single user mode if you need to change the date and time for testing purposes.

PRIMEPOWER 800/900/1000/1500/2000/2500

See "System Console Software User's Guide" for information on how to change the date and time.

1.1.3 Serial port

1.1.3.1 PRIMEPOWER800/1000/2000

z All serial ports on the system board are to be used for the System Management Console.

z Do not access the following devices relating to serial ports. Also do not change the setting of

applications using the following device files (such as a port monitor).

/dev/term/a, b, ...

/dev/cua/a, b, ...

/dev/term/fa000, fa001, ...

/dev/cua/fa000, fa001, ...

/dev/se_hdlc

/dev/se_hdlc0, /dev/se_hdlc1, ...

However, devices that are not used as the console path may be used, but only for the FJVTS and

SunVTS. The usable default devices for FJVTS and SunVTS are /dev/term/fa003, fa004, ... and

/dev/se_hdlc3, se_hdlc4, ...

1.1.3.2 PRIMEPOWER900/1500/2500

z The device name of the serial port will be as follows:

/dev/term/fa000, fa001, ...

/dev/cua/fa000, fa001, ...

/dev/se_hdlc0, se_hdlc1, ...

Because the number of this device name is allocated from the instance number of driver, this number

does not necessarily correspond to the slot number of the system board.

z Do not change the setting of port monitor, etc. to the serial port for the console. Because the physical

device of the serial port used for the console is the physical device path which are linked from logical

device under /dev/fjse directory, the logical devices under /dev/term and /dev/cua, and /dev/se_hdlcX

files, which link to above-mentioned physical device path, are devices used for the console.

z Other than the serial port for consoles, five serial ports can be used by the user. However, keep in

mind that it is necessary to stop beforehand the application that is using the serial port of the system

board or the PCI/disk BOX in order to disconnect the system board by Dynamic Reconfiguration.

z Only the devices that are not used as a console path, can be used for FJVTS and SunVTS.

1.1.4 Gigabit Ethernet port on PRIMEPOWER250/450

PRIMEPOWER250/450 has a Gigabit Ethernet port as standard equipment. For how to use the Gigabit

Ethernet port, refer to "Chapter 4 Secondary LAN port on PRIMEPOWER250/450."

1.1.5 Fibre Channel Cards (PW008FC3, PW008FC2 or GP7B8FC1)

Install the following versions of drivers:

FUJITSU PCI Fibre Channel 3.0 or later.

To install the driver, use the installer in the driver CD-ROM that is provided with the Fibre Channel Card. If

you don't have the driver CD-ROM mentioned above, download it from the following page.

http://www.fujitsu.com/support/computing/server/unix/driver/

Install the driver again after an update of Solaris 10.

For more detailed information, refer to "FUJITSU PCI Fibre Channel 3.0 Installation Guide" that is

provided with the driver CD-ROM or the page described above.

1.1.6 Time for booting Solaris

When booting Solaris 10 10/08 or later from Solaris CD/DVD or from the network via network instances

such as hme/qfe, it may take more time (approx. 20 minutes) than previous releases.

Example

{0} ok boot net

Boot device: /pci@80,4000/network@1,1 File and args:

* This interval may be longer than previous releases.

SunOS Release 5.10 Version Generic_xxxxxx-xx 64-bit

....

1.1.7 Error messages displayed after booting from Solaris DVD

If Enhanced Support Facility has been already installed on the system, the following error messages (max.

32 lines) may be displayed on the console at the first time of the boot from the system disk after the boot

from the Solaris CD/DVD which is Solaris 10 10/08 or later, but the error messages can be ignored safely.

Sep 11 09:50:00 xxxx FJSVmadm[1505]: pw450:FJSVmadm:A:-:OBP:Detected

1.2 Solaris OS - Notes and Bug Information

1.2.1 The order of instance numbers of optional cards

If an additional option card is installed, the instance number on the card might be assigned out of order.

Additional installation by Dynamic Reconfiguration or PCI Hot-plug is also applicable but replacement by

Dynamic Reconfiguration or PCI Hot plug is not applicable.

If you need to assign the instance numbers orderly, follow these steps below.

Set the following in /etc/system.

set mtc_off=1

Reboot the system.

Install the optional card.

After the above setting, it may take longer time to reboot the system. If that affects the system, delete the

line and reboot the system.

1.2.2 Notes on Solaris OS operation

CD-ROM/DVD-ROM in UNIX file system (UFS) format

Do not use any CD-ROM/DVD-ROM in UNIX file system (UFS) format that is not produced for the Solaris

OS.

Even if the file system in such a CD-ROM / DVD-ROM is in UFS format, it's file construction may differ

from that of a Solaris system. If such a CD-ROM / DVD-ROM is used, serious problems, including a

system crash may occur.

Enter the OpenBoot environment

The following operations on a running system will enforce the system to move to Open Boot mode, which

might damage data.

z Connecting / Disconnecting the keyboard cable to / from the system.

z Sending a Break signal from the console terminal connected to the serial port.

z Turning on/off the power to the unit connected to the serial port of the system.

(This power on/off is treated as a Break signal.)

To prevent a system from entering the Open Boot mode, do the following:

PRIMEPOWER 200/400/600

z Set the MODE switch on the operation panel of the system to "SECURE" mode.

z Set OBP command (PROM command) to disable a Break signal. For more detailed information, refer

to "PRIMEPOWER USER'S MANUAL."

PRIMEPOWER 250/450/650/850/800/900/1000/1500/2000/2500

z Set the MODE switch on the operation panel of the system to "LOCK" mode.

z Set OBP command (PROM command) to disable a Break signal. For more detailed information, refer

to "PRIMEPOWER USER'S MANUAL."

PRIMEPOWER1

z Change the default keyboard abort sequence effect with kbd commnd.

# /usr/bin/kbd -a disable <Return>

z Change the /etc/default/kbd setting

Edit the /etc/default/kbd as follows:

KEYBOARD_ABORT=disable

Set keyboard defaults from the /etc/default/kbd file.

# kbd –i <Return>

z Set OBP command (PROM command) to disable a Break signal. For more detailed information, refer

to "PRIMEPOWER USER'S MANUAL."

Single-user mode

If you enter the system in single-user mode with the following commands, the run-level of the init process

displayed by the who -r command may be displayed incorrectly. In this case, the commands pkgadd,

patchadd, etc. may terminate.

/sbin/init s

/sbin/init S

/usr/sbin/shutdown [-y] [-gN] -is (N: numeral)

/usr/sbin/shutdown [-y] [-gN] -iS (N: numeral)

To avoid this problem follow the steps below.

Enter the OpenBoot environment.

# /usr/sbin/shutdown -y -g0 -i0 <Return>

When the ok prompt is displayed, boot the system with the following command.

ok boot -s <Return>

Transport protocols for NFS version 2/3

Although NFS version 2/3 can use either TCP or UDP as the transport protocol, it is recommended to use

TCP. If UDP is used on a poor quality network(in which packet loss occurs or transfer takes too long time

etc.), overall performance, stability and / or security may be degraded and further problems may occur.

Special NFS client settings may be necessary to use TCP for NFS. For more detailed information, refer to

the NFS client manual.

From Solaris 2.6 or later, NFS clients can be made to use the TCP protocol, by specifying "proto=tcp" as the

mount option. If the protocol to be used is not specified, mounting NFS using TCP is first attempted, If that

fails, mounting NFS using UDP is attempted.

How to eject a diskette

When you want to eject a diskette, follow the instructions described below. If not followed, data may be

damaged.

For more detailed information, refer to "Managing Removable Media" in "System Administration Guide."

Make sure the diskette is not being used.

Run the following command.

# eject floppy0 <Return>

Make sure the Access LED has turned off.

Press the Eject button on the diskette drive unit, then eject the diskette.

WARNING messages of se driver

When a serial port receives a lot of data, such as when a large amount of text is pasted on a console screen

connected to a serial port, the console message "seN: Buffer overrun" (N means an instance number of se

driver) will be displayed and the data will be lost.

This is because the user process cannot read data fast enough.

The size of data pasted on a console screen should be 1024 bytes or less at a time.

Speed of reception depends on each user process.

1.2.3 Notes on PCI cards

How to install PCI cards

To install a new PCI card, follow the steps described below.

Also, when you remove the PCI card or change the slot, do the following steps.

Chapter 2 Backup and Restore of System Disk

(PRIMEPOWER1/200/250/400/450/600/65

0/850)

This chapter explains the procedures to backup/restore the disk (hereafter called, the system disk) containing

the Solaris OS software.

2.1 Types of Backup Procedures

Backup of the system disk requires that the disk and slices to be backed up not be in use. The system disk

contains file systems (such as the root (/) file system) that cannot be unmounted. In backing up the system

disk, special procedures are required.

The following are some of the typical ways to back up the Solaris OS disk.

Understanding them will help you choose the appropriate method to back up your system disk properly.

For more detailed information about the procedure mentioned in a., see each subsection from "2.2 Backup

and Restore of File System Unit."

For more detailed information about the procedure mentioned in d., see each subsection from "2.3 Backup

and Restore of Disk Unit."

To back up a file system unit, use the ufsdump(1M) command after booting in single-user mode.

If you are restoring, use the ufsrestore(1M) command after booting from the Solaris OS CD/DVD to

restore the file system unit.

The file system that will be backed up is only the ufs file system.

Disk partition information such as the size of each file system will not be backed up. You must

record this information separately.

The ufsdump(1M) command backs up a file system divided into file units so it is possible to

restore to a disk having a different file system size. If only a limited amount of space has been

used in the file system, this may back up into a space smaller than the size of the file system.

When backing up using the ufsdump(1M) command, it is possible to only restore selected files.

To back up a file system unit, use the ufsdump(1M) command after booting from the Solaris OS

CD/DVD.

If you are restoring, use the ufsrestore(1M) command after booting from the Solaris OS CD/DVD to

restore the file system unit.

The file system that will be backed up is only the ufs file system.

Disk partition information such as the size of each file system will not be backed up. Therefore,

you must record this information separately.

The ufsdump(1M) command backs up the file system divided into file units, so it is possible to

restore to a disk having a different file system size. If only a limited amount of space has been

used in the file system, this may back up into a space smaller than the size of the file system.

When backing up using the ufsdump(1M) command, it is possible to only restore selected files.

To back up a slice unit, use the dd(1M) command after booting from the Solaris OS CD/DVD.

If you are restoring, use the dd(1M) command after booting from the Solaris OS CD/DVD to

restore the slice unit.

If you back up slice 0, it will only be possible to restore to a disk having the same physical

properties (disk space, number of cylinders) as the original.

Disk partition information such as the size of each slice will not be backed up. You must record

this information separately.

To back up a disk unit, use the dd(1M) command after booting from the Solaris OS CD/DVD.

If you are restoring, use the dd(1M) command after booting from the Solaris OS CD/DVD, to

restore the disk unit.

Because this procedure backs up the disk unit, it is only possible to restore to a disk having the

same physical properties (disk space, number of cylinders) as the original.

Depending on the tape device, you might have to observe some precautions when backing up or restoring.

Consult the manual of the tape device before such actions.

It is recommended that you select the SCSI device having the target ID 0 for Solaris OS installation. In this

case, the device name of the system disk will be "c0t0d0" obtained from the controller number (0), target ID

(0), and LUN number (0). If you install Solaris OS on a disk, having a controller number other than 0, the

controller number may change later depending on whether booting took place from a CD/DVD or a hard

disk. Thus when referring to disk device, check that it's name haven't changed due to the reason described

above.

If you apply the optional software that contains modules that run as part of the driver and file system of the

system disk, carefully follow the instructions and notes described in the manuals supplied with each

software option.

For example, if you configure disk mirroring using PRIMECLUSTER GDS, you must select the backup

procedures mentioned in b. In addition, if the system disk contains a file system other than a ufs file system

such as PRIMECLUSTER GFS, you must select the backup procedures using the backup command

provided in the file system or the dd(1M) command.

2.2 Backup and Restore of File System Unit

The following describes how to back up the file system unit using the ufsdump(1M) command. "Solaris

System Administration Guide" also describes the following procedures.

Note that disk partition information such as the size of each slice will not be backed up. Therefore, you must

record the information separately using the prtvtoc(1M) or format(1M) commands.

# prtvtoc XXXX <Return>

# format XXXX <Return>

format> partition

partition> print

The "XXXX" in the above example is the character device name of the target disk. Use slice 2 of the disk,

like :

/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2.

2.2.1 Backup of File System Unit

In single-user mode use the following procedures to back-up each file system. After backing up, reboot the

system.

Boot the system in single-user mode.

ok boot -s <Return>

Backup the file system with the ufsdump(1M) command.

Example: Backup to the "/dev/rmt/0."

# ufsdump 0ucf /dev/rmt/0 / <Return>

2.2.2 Restore of File System Unit

When restoring the file system unit, the Solaris OS is booted from the Solaris 10 CD1 or Solaris 10 DVD.

After booting Solaris OS, mount the disk to be restored temporarily, and then restore the file system unit.

Follow the procedures below to restore each file system. After restoring, reboot the system. If using a new

disk or a disk previously used for other purposes, create a boot block after creating disk slices and a disk

label with the format (1M) command, before starting the restoration process.

If optional software like PRIMEPOWER GDS, which runs as a part of the kernel is installed in the system,

extra care should be taken as the Solaris CD/DVD does not contain these modules. In such a case, consult

the manual of the respective optional software.

Boot the Solaris OS from the CD/DVD in single-user mode.

ok boot cdrom -s <Return>

If you use a new disk or a disk previously used for other purposes, create a disk slices and a disk

level with the format(1M) command.

# format <Return>

For information on how to create a disk slice and a disk level using the format(1M) command, see the

manuals.

Create a boot block with the installboot(1M) command.

#installboot/usr/platform/`uname-i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblkXXXX<Return>

For information on how to create a boot block using the installboot(1M) command, see the manuals.

The "XXXX" in the above example is the character device name of the target disk. Use slice 0 of the

disk, like : /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0.

Create a new file system with the newfs(1M) command.

# newfs XXXX <Return>

The "XXXX" in the above example is the character device name of the target disk, like :

/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0.

Mount the file system with the mount(1M) command.

# mount -F ufs YYYY /mnt <Return>

The "YYYY" in the above example is the block device name of the target disk, like : /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0.

Change to the mounted directory.

# cd /mnt <Return>

Restore the file system with the ufsrestore(1M) command.

Example: Restore from the "/dev/rmt/0."

# ufsrestore rvf /dev/rmt/0 <Return>

Remove the restoresymtable file created by the ufsrestore(1M) command.

# rm restoresymtable <Return>

Change the directory to the root (/), and unmount the file system.

# cd / <Return>

# umount /mnt <Return>

Check the integrity of the file system with fsck(1M) command.

# fsck XXXX <Return>

The "XXXX" in the above example is the character device name of the target disk, like :

/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0.

2.3 Backup and Restore of Disk Unit

When backing up a disk unit, use the dd(1M) command. The following describes how to back up a disk unit

to a tape device using the dd(1M) command. The backup records physical properties such as disk space and

a number of cylinders, so it is only possible to restore to a disk having the same physical properties. The

prtvtoc(1M) command displays the physical properties as " Dimensions."

# prtvtoc XXXX <Return>

Specify the slice 2 of character special disk (/dev/rdsk/...) to be backed up such as "/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2"

with the format(1M) command.

2.3.1 Backup of Disk Unit

In the backup of a disk unit, the Solaris OS is booted from the Solaris 10 CD1 or Solaris 10 DVD. After

backing up, reboot the system.

Boot the Solaris OS from the CD in single-user mode.

ok boot cdrom -s <Return>

Back up the disk unit with the dd(1M) command.

Example: Backup to the "/dev/rmt/0."

# dd if=XXXX of=/dev/rmt/0 bs=64k <Return>

Specify the character special disk name (/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2) to be backed up such as "/dev/rdsk/..." with

the dd(1M) command. In this case, you must specify the "s2" as the entire disk.

2.3.2 Restore of Disk Unit

In the restore of a disk unit, the Solaris OS is booted from the Solaris 10 CD1 or Solaris 10 DVD. After

restoring, reboot the system.

Boot the Solaris OS from the CD in single-user mode.

ok boot cdrom -s <Return>

Restore the disk unit with the dd(1M) command.

Example: Restore from the "/dev/rmt/0."

# dd if=/dev/rmt/0 of=XXXX bs=64k <Return>

Specify the character special disk name (/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2) to be backed up such as "/dev/rdsk/..." with

the dd(1M) command. In this case, you must specify the "s2" as the entire disk.

Chapter 3 Backup and Restore of System Disk

(PRIMEPOWER800/900/1000/1500/2000/2

500)

This chapter explains the procedures to backup/restore the disk (hereafter called, the system disk) containing

the Solaris OS software.

3.1 Types of Backup Procedures

Backup of the system disk requires that the disk and slices being backed up not be in use. The system disk

contains file systems (such as the root (/) file system) that cannot be dismounted. In backing up the system

disk, the special procedures are required.

The following are some of the typical ways to back up a Solaris OS system disk. Understanding them will

help you choose the appropriate method to back up your system disk properly.

For detailed information about the backup procedures mentioned in b. and d., see " System Console

Software User's Guide."

To back up a file system unit, use the ufsdump(1M) command after booting in single-user mode.

If you are restoring, use the ufsrestore(1M) command after booting from the Solaris OS CD/DVD to

restore the file system unit.

The file system that will be backed up is only the ufs file system.

Disk partition information such as the size of each file system will not be backed up. You must

record the information separately.

The ufsdump(1M) command backs up the file system divided into the file unit, so it is possible

to restore to a disk having a different file system size. If a limited amount of space has been used

in the file system, this may back up into a space smaller than the size of the file system itself.

When backing up using the ufsdump(1M) command, it is possible to restore only the file that

you select.

To back up a file system unit, use the ufsdump(1M) command after booting from the Solaris OS

CD/DVD.

If you are restoring, use the ufsrestore(1M) command after booting from the Solaris OS CD/DVD to

restore the file system unit.

The file system that will be backed up is only the ufs file system.

Disk partition information such as the size of each file system will not be backed up. You must

record the information separately.

The ufsdump(1M) command backs up the file system divided into the file unit, so it is possible

to restore to a disk having a different file system size. If limited amount of space has been used

in the file system, this may back up into a space smaller than the size of the file system. In the

backup using the ufsdump(1M) command, it is possible to restore only the file that you select.

To back up a slice unit, use the dd(1M) command after booting from the Solaris OS CD/DVD.

If you are restoring, use the dd(1M) command after booting from the Solaris OS CD/DVD to

restore the slice unit.

If you back up slice 0, it will only be possible to restore to a disk having the same physical

properties (such as disk space and a number of cylinders) as the original.

Disk partition information such as the size of each slice will not be backed up. You must record

the information separately.

To back up the disk unit, use the dd(1M) command after booting from the Solaris OS CD/DVD.

If you are restoring, use the dd(1M) command after booting from the Solaris OS CD/DVD to

restore the disk unit.

The procedure divides the disk unit for back up, so it is only possible to restore to a disk having

the same physical properties (such as disk space and a number of cylinders) as the original.

It is recommended that you select the SCSI device with target ID 1 for Solaris OS installation. Before

selecting the disk to install Solaris OS, make sure it is connected to the SCSI adapter plugged into the PCI

slot of PCI0B. In this case, the device name of the system disk will be "c0t1d0" (obtained from the

controller number (0), target ID (1), and LUN number (0)). If you install Solaris OS to other than the disk

having the device name "c0t1d0", (especially, a disk having the controller number other than 0) take care to

carefully obtain the correct device name.

If applying the optional software that runs as part of the driver and file system from the system disk,

carefully follow the instructions and notes described in the manual of each option. For example, if you

configure disk mirroring using PRIMECLUSTER GDS, you must select the backup procedures described in

a. above, because the PRIMECLUSTER GDS driver does not exist in the CD/DVD files. In addition, if the

system disk contains a file system other than the ufs file system such as PRIMECLUSTER GFS, select the

backup procedures using the backup command provided in the file system or the dd(1M) command.

Chapter 4 Secondary LAN port on

PRIMEPOWER250/450

This chapter describes how to use the secondary LAN (10/100/1000Mbps) port on PRIMEPOWER250/450.

4.1 Outline

The secondary LAN port on PRIMEPOWER250/450 is controlled by FUJITSU PCI Gigabit Ethernet

Driver (Interface name is “fjgi”) included in Solaris 10.

4.2 Notes

z When using 1000 Mbps communication, be sure to set Autonegation to 'on'.

z If using the PCI card (PW008GE4/PW008GE5/PW008QG1), please refer to the User’s guide attached

with the PCI card.

4.3 How to Set Configuration Information

This section describes required setting to use a fjgi interface.

4.3.1 Environment Setting

This section describes how to edit files required to build environment.

4.3.1.1 Determining the Client Name of Target Driver

To use the secondary LAN port as an IPv4 interface:

To allocate the IP address or hostname to the fjgi interface, edit /etc/hostname.fjgi* (* is an numerical

value) file. About netmask value, please see "4.3.1.3 Defining Netmask Value" .

Example /etc/hostname.fjgi*:

Define the unique hostname:

giga-v4

or, define the IP address:

192.168.150.1

Note: If you defined the hostname in hostname.fjgi* file, see the section "4.3.1.2 Defining Hostname "

for detailed information.

To use the secondary LAN port as an IPv6 interface

To allocate the IP address and prefix to the fjgi interface, edit /etc/hostname6.fjgi* (* is an numerical

value) file.

Example /etc/hostname6.fjgi*:

Define the unique hostname (This sample named giga-v6):

addif giga-v6/120 up

Note: If you defined the hostname in hostname.fjgi* file, see the section "4.3.1.2 Defining Hostname"

for detailed information.

To use the GigabitEthernet as an VLAN interface:

See "4.3.2.6 Configuring VLAN interface", and after defining VLAN name, proceed with above 1 or 2

procedure.

4.3.1.2 Defining Hostname

Defining an IP address with a unique hostname.

To use secondary LAN port as an IPv4 interface:

Edit IPv4 address and hostname into the /etc/hosts file.

Example /etc/hosts file:

# IP Address

190.168.150.1

Hostname

giga-v4

To use secondary LAN port as an IPv6 interface:

Edit IPv6 address and hostname into the /etc/inet/ipnodes file.

Example /etc/inet/ipnodes file:

# IP Address

Hostname

fe80::2e0:ff:fea6:2222 giga-v6

4.3.1.3 Defining Netmask Value

To use secondary LAN port as an IPv4 interface, define a netmask value with the IP address into

/etc/netmasks file.

Example /etc/netmasks file:

# IP Address

192.168.150.0

netmask

255.255.255.0

4.3.2 Setting the Operation Mode

This section explains how to edit the file or implement a command to change the operation mode. When you

use a secondary LAN port without the default method of automatic setup of speed/duplex/flowcontrol by

autonegotiation, change the operation mode with the procedures described below:

4.3.2.1 fjgi.conf file

When not using the default operation mode described in 4.3.2, you should use the

/platform/sun4us/kernel/drv/fjgi.conf file. The set-up procedure of this file is described below:

4.3.2.1.2 How to Set Parameter

The method of setting up of each parameter of the secondary LAN port (FJSV,pwga) shown in Table 4.1 is

explained. If using PCI card (PW008GE4/PW008GE5/PW008QG1), please refer to the User’s guide

attached with PCI card.

Search /etc/path_to_inst file for a fjgi interface.

# grep fjgi /etc/path_to_inst <Return>

"/pci@83,4000/FJSV,pwga@1" 0 "fjgi"

The interface-related parameters should be written in the /platform/sun4us/kernel/drv/fjgi.conf file.

Example: 1000Mbps Full-Duplex is set.

name="fjgi" parent="/pci@83,4000" unit-address="1" AutoNegotiation_A="On"

LinkSpeed=”100” DuplexCapbilities_A="Full" FlowControl_A="None";

name:

In the above example, the driver name is "fjgi".

parent:

The left-hand portion of the pathname, containing the words '/FJSV,gwga@' in

/etc/path_to_inst, is to be added here.

In this example, parent value is "/pci@83,4000".

unit-address: Please refer to the /etc/path_to_inst, and write the number (right number of

"/FJSV,pwga@..". In this example, unit-address value is "1".

After 2, the fjgi.conf setting is reflected by reboot.

# /usr/sbin/shutdown -i6 -y -g0 <Return>

4.3.2.1.3 Caution

Setting by fjgi.conf is necessary only when autonegation is not used for speed/duplex/flow or

connecting partner cannot support autonegotiation.

Since a setup the operation mode by the fjgi.conf file becomes effective per physical interface,

when the VLAN interface is being used, a VLAN interface is also changed simultaneously.

4.3.2.2 Setting a JumboFrame

Use of JumboFrame makes it possible to expand the TCP/IP MTU size from 1500 to 9000. As the

per-packet transmission size is expanded, the number of packets processed becomes fewer and thus the CPU

load is reduced.

The procedure of setting JumboFrame is show below.

a. Add the following line to /etc/system file.

set fjgi:fjgi_jumbo=1

b. Create /etc/fjmtu.fjgiX file and write a MTU-size between 1500 to 9000. And reboot, TCP/IP

MTU-size will be set. If you don't create this file, TCP/IP MTU-size will be the default of 9000.

vi /etc/fjmtu.fjgiX

"X" is instance number. Instance number must be the same as /etc/hostname.fjgi* file's *.

Notes

If you set a JumboFrame, it will be unable to transmit and receive the data of IEEE802.3 form.

If you use two or more cards, or VLAN interfaces, enabling JumboFrame function becomes

effective to all cards and all interfaces.

When you perform file transfer by FTP, please set MTU size to less than 8232byte.

Please use Jumbo Frames function only in 1000 Mbps communication. If you use Jumbo Frames in

10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, you won't be able to use the Jumbo Frame function.

4.3.2.3 To use ndd(1M) Utility

By using the ndd command, mode of operation can be changed dynamically.

Below shows how to reference and set each parameter by ndd command with examples.

Reference:

ndd -get /dev/fjgi 'param'

(param: each parameter)

example) # ndd -get /dev/fjgi 'link_status'

Settings:

ndd -set /dev/fjgi 'param' value

value)

(param: each parameter, value: each

example1) # ndd -set /dev/fjgi 'instance' 2

example2) # ndd -set /dev/fjgi 'adv_autoneg_cap' 0

To reflect the changed setting:

ndd -set /dev/fjgi 'instance' value

(Set the relevant interface instance number.)

ndd -set /dev/fjgi 'adv_autoneg_cap' 0

(Once, turn off the function of AutoNegotiation.)

ndd -set /dev/fjgi 'adv_autoneg_cap' 1

(Then, turn on the function of AutoNegotiation.)

example) In case, to set the setting of fjgi0 1000Full => 100Half.

# ndd -set /dev/fjgi 'instance' 0

# ndd -set /dev/fjgi 'adv_1000fdx_cap' 0

# ndd -set /dev/fjgi 'adv_1000hdx_cap' 0

# ndd -set /dev/fjgi 'adv_100fdx_cap'

# ndd -set /dev/fjgi 'adv_autoneg_cap' 0

# ndd -set /dev/fjgi 'adv_autoneg_cap' 1

A list of parameter can be used with ndd command.

Notes

Because of the specification of ndd utility, if two or more processes execute ndd command for a

fjgi interface at the same time, the value will be invalid.

If you execute ndd command repeatedly, fjgi interface performance may drop.

The values of link_speed, link_mode, autonego, flow_control are effective, only when link_status

= 1. If link_status = 0, these values are invalid.

The values of lp_10fdx_cap, lp_10hdx_cap, lp_100fdx_cap, lp_100hdx_cap, lp_1000fdx_cap,

lp_1000hdx_cap, lp_pauseTX, lp_pauseRX, lp_autoneg_cap are effective, only when

communication is done without Autonegation or Autonegation has not been established.

The values set by ndd command are invalid after reboot.

Since a setup of the operation mode by the ndd command becomes effective per physical interface,

when IPv4/IPv6 interface, SNA/FNA interface or the VLAN interface is being used, those are also

changed simultaneously.

4.3.2.4 Changing the setting of FCode

This section explains how to change the communication mode settings of FCode with examples.

If using PCI card (PW008GE4/PW008GE5/PW008QG1), please refer to the User’s guide attached with PCI

4.3.2.5 Network Install

The procedure which uses fjgi interface to install the Solaris OS via a network from an installation server is

explained below.

Setup the install server and the clients to install the Solaris OS.

4.3.2.6 Configuring VLAN interface

4.3.2.6.1 IEEE 802.1Q TagVLAN

The outline about a VLAN interface and directions required in order to setup VLAN interface are explained.

About IEEE802.1Q TagVLAN

By using VLAN, traffic management of two or more networks by a single physical interface becomes

possible. In order to create a VLAN environment, which resembles Figure 4.1 Example of VLAN

environment, a VLAN setup (VLAN ID and Tagged/Untagged) of a switch is required.

Figure 4.1 Example of VLAN environment

By using VLAN, traffic management of two or more networks by the single physical interface can be done.

In order to create Figure 4.1 Example of VLAN environment, it is needed a VLAN setup (VLAN ID and

Tagged/Untagged) of a switch.

The vlan numbers fjgi interface can offer:

VLAN ID

1 – 4094 (are available)

1024 (can be created)

Max number of VLAN interfaces

4.3.2.6.2 How to create the VLAN interface

-To create the VLAN interface.

By setting the interface number to more than 1000, it becomes possible to distinguish VLAN interface

from physical interface.

How to set:

In case to create the "VLAN ID = 1" VLAN interface from instance = 0 physical interface.

Please refer to "4.3.1 Environment Setting ", and create the interface named as fjgi1000.

In case to create the "VLAN ID = 231" VLAN interface from instance = 3 physical interface.

Please refer to "4.3.1 Environment Setting", and create the interface named as fjgi231003.

Low 3 digits of VLAN interface number : physical instance number

Upper digits except low 3 digits of VLAN interface number: VLAN ID(1 -

4094).

VLAN interface number = VLAN ID * 1000 + physical instance number

Note:

z When connecting with a LAN switch, Tag VLAN needs to be set to a LAN switch. (Please refer to a

LAN switch specification which supported Tag VLAN.)

z Please use a VLAN interface only with TCP/IP protocol. Please do not use it with SNA/FNA and OSI

protocol.

z Since PRIMECLUSTER GLS 4.1A20 or previous version do not correspond to a VLAN interface,

please do not use VLAN interface with those. PRIMECLUSTER GLS 4.1A30 or later (only Fast

switching mode or NIC switching mode) can use VLAN interface.

z VLAN function can be used only in Solaris 8, Solaris 9 or Solaris 10.

z In the environment where PRIMECLUSTER has been installed, in case you use a VLAN interface,

please check that the "SMAWdtcp" package has not been installed. When installed, please remove

that package or do not use a VLAN interface.

z A VLAN interface uses about 700Kbyte at MTU size 1514byte or 900Kbyte at MTU size 9014byte of

memory (at the time of no communicating). Therefore, when creating two or more VLAN interfaces

and performing communication, a slowdown may occur due to the shortage of resources depending on

the system configuration.

Recommended actions

I Installation and removal of a package or patch may fail in a system with non-global

zones, under the following conditions.

non-global zone is configured using zonecfg(1M), but not installed by

zoneadm(1M).

non-global zone is just booted by zoneadm(1M) after installation, without any

non-global zone settings such as host name and root password.

non-global zone is being installed or removed by zoneadm(1M).

Make sure the initial setup like hostname and password configuration of all non-global

zones has been done and all the non-global zones are in “running” state before

installation or removal of package and patch

The following message may be displayed during an upgrade installation from Solaris 9.

Remarks

Recommended actions

Solaris 10 provides Solaris Service Manager (SMF) to enhance the UNIX startup script

(so called RC script) and system daemons during boot up. Due to this new feature, there

is some unexpected and incompatible behavior compared to Solaris 9 or older versions.

Refer to SMF documentation as follows and smf(5) manual page.

Solaris 10 System Administrator Collection

>> System Administration Guide: Basic Administration

http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1985/

/usr/bin/ln has been changed in Solaris 10.

Solaris 9 or older versions.

/usr/bin/ln will overwrite file if target file already exists.

Solaris 10.

/usr/bin/ln will fail if target file already exists.

The same behavior occurs with Solaris 9 or older versions if the -f option is used with

the ln command.

If the DHCP sever has multiple network interfaces, it may not be able to deliver an IP

address to a DHCP client because of DHCP server settings.

pntadm(1M) -s option needs to be specified with "uname -n" or the IP address of the

primary network interface. If a non-primary IP address is specified with pntadm -s,

DHCP server will not be able to deliver an IP address to the DHCP client.

Specification and incompatibility

Remarks

Recommended actions

nslookup(1M) results on Solaris 10 differ from those of Solaris 9 or older versions.

e.g.)

Solaris 9

# nslookup

> aaa213.sample.test.com.

Server: aaat11.sample.test.com

Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.nnn

Name: aaa13.sample.test.com

Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.mmm

Aliases: aaa213.sample.test.com, aaa113.sample.test.com

Solaris 10

# nslookup

> aaa213.sample.test.com.

Server: xxx.xxx.xxx.nnn

Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.nnn#xx

aaa213.sample.test.com canonical name = aaa113.sample.test.com.

aaa113.sample.test.com canonical name = aaa13.sample.test.com.

Name: aaa13.sample.test.com

Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.mmm

* aaa113.sample.test.com is an alias of aaa13.sample.test.com

* aaa213.sample.test.com is an alias of aaa113.sample.test.com.

1) Physical device (/devices) entries for hard disk drive are removed at system

reboot if the hard disk driver is removed from the system before system reboot.

e.g.)

# cd /dev/rdsk

# ls -l c1t6d0*

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 48 May 28 11:19 c1t6d0s0 ->../../devices/pci@1f,0

/pci@5/scsi@2/sd@6,0:a,raw

# ls -lL c1t6d0*

c1t6d0s0: No such file or directory

2) “iostat –E” and “drcstat –device” may not show all connected physical devices

right after system boot.

This behavior of devfs on Solaris 10, is to be expected. /devices entries are updated

dynamically when each device is actually attached. As a result, device entries that have

not been attached after system boot, are not displayed by those commands.

If non-global zones are not booted, patchadd(1M) and patchrm(1M) will make all

non-global zones boot up temporarily during patch installation and removal. As a result

the total time for patch installation and removal will take much longer than booting up in

single user mode.

Boot all non-global zones in single user mode before installing and removing patches.

global# zoneadm –z myzone boot -s

Specification and incompatibility

Remarks

Recommended actions

In Solaris10, rsh(1) will output messages according to the value of the LANG variable

that is defined in /etc/default/init. However, in the previous Solaris versions, the system

will use the LANG=C locale for a command, that is run at the server side by rsh(1),

without mentioning any specific value for the LANG variable.

In Solaris 10, if the LANG variable is not set explicitly to a process that is executed by

inetd(1M), the process will succeed the value of this variable from inetd(1M). To stop a

process from succeeding the value of the LANG variable from inetd(M), change the

setup with the following command:

e.g.) in case of rsh(1)

#inetadm -m network/shell:default inherit_env=FALSE

For details of the setting, see the inetd(1M) man page.

Patch installation using patchadd(1M) will fail if the system has any zones and if the

patch archive is on NFS server.

Copy the patch archive from NFS server to local file system such as /tmp and install the

patch.
