Hi All,

I have sun fire v1280 with a system controller, my question is how can I check out IP address used by system controller online? any command for that?

thanks!

So what I am looking for at this point is the information from my previous post plus the below output of the following command;

sysdef | grep su


Thanks

This OBP level may be causeing part of your issue on this machine. Do you have Sun Solve account? check out doc 72255 tells you what OBP will support the different levels of ALOM.

Also if you can get me the sysdef | grep su output

I found some other information that may pertain to the issues.

Thanks

Hi CA,

Here is output of sysdef|grep su:

# sysdef |grep su
* sun4u Configuration
sun-keyboard (driver not attached)
su, instance #0
su, instance #1
* Loadable Object Path = /platform/sun4u/kernel
drv/su
drv/sparcv9/su
misc/audiosup
misc/sparcv9/audiosup

I will check out doc 72255. You help me a lot and I really appreciate that.

thanks!

the reason I had you check sysdef | grep su was to see if the su driver was dissabled but this looks good, so I would say this is not causeing a problem.

Also I found another DOC 81146 that talks about which system support ALOM/LOM/RSC. I am beginning to think that scadm is only for ALOM systems.

The doc mentioned above talks about lom commands through Solaris. LOM is another package which is not loaded as part of the OS in Solaris 8 and 9 but is found on the supplement CD. I have a V100 that is LOM so I am going to add that package and see what I can get for information when running lom commands from solaris.

As far as your V240 I would say to first look at the doc I mentioned in previous post and update your OBP then figure out what your current ALOM firmware is and possibly think about updateing that and see if it clears up your scadm issue.

I will keep you posted with my progress. Also so you know this not only benefits you but it benefits me as I work for a system maintenance company that has these systems under contract with different customers.

Thanks

these are the packages that need to be loaded for lom supported systems The "lom" command can be issued from the OS provided that the "LOMlite"
packages have been installed. Use the "pkginfo(1)" command to check if the
"LOMlite" packages have been installed:

# pkginfo | grep SUNWlom
system SUNWlomm LOMlite manual pages
system SUNWlomr LOMlite driver (root)
system SUNWlomu LOMlite Utilities (usr)

Also if running solaris 10 on your v1280 you can get the Netra T Lights out Management package from the sun download center.

thanks

Just wanted to let you know that I still am working with the lom commands, you can run a lom -c to get configuration but I have yet had time to configure the ipaddress so lom -c does not show network ip.

Also I have been working with the RSC cards that are supported in the V880, 280R, E250 and a few other systems.
The packages for these cards are on the supplement cd for solaris 8 and 9, for solaris 10 you need to go to download center and get remote system console packages. Once you have used rsc-config to setup the card ip etc.. you are able to run rscadm shownetwork from the Os to get the ipaddress. Packages you need to load are
pkginfo -l | grep SUNWrs
PKGINST: SUNWrsc
PKGINST: SUNWrscd
PKGINST: SUNWrscj

In the v880 the rscadm executable is found under;
/usr/platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-880/rsc



Thanks
